    Variables and constants - the two most important aspects of any scientific venture. For any test result to be accurate, a set of constants must be tested against one variable. The key in that equation being that there is only one variable. This concept becomes increasingly elusive as you begin adding more and more systems to the equation. Controlling our variables is a task we've become quite skilled in here at Mishimoto. After all, our everyday work involves testing extremely complex vehicle systems. But, we do sometimes meet challenges along the way.

    When we last saw our 1994-2002 Dodge Ram Cummins transmission cooler, it was installed on our volunteer truck and patiently awaiting testing. However, we had some decisions to make before we could put the cooler through its paces. No matter how good we are at controlling variables in our testing, one variable we can't

    Imaginative. Innovative. Forward-thinking. All adjectives that Dodge used in 1994 to describe their new Ram pickup design. Coincidentally, they're also words we like to live by here at Mishimoto. Just because something hasn't been done before doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. That's the philosophy we're taking for our direct-fit 1994-2002 Ram Cummins transmission cooler. It's been a challenge to fit a more efficient cooler in the tight space between the bumper and the intercooler. Nevertheless, our engineers have managed to design something awesome that bolts in like the stock cooler.

    When we last saw our 2nd Gen Ram transmission cooler, it wasn't cooling much of anything, mostly because it was less of a transmission cooler and more of an aluminum box with some brackets welded onto it. While it may not have looked like much, that aluminum box gave us the information

    There's nothing more teeth-grindingly irritating than spending hours building and tweaking your truck, only to be let down by the one part you didn't touch. If you're lucky, you can continue your trip, only slightly delayed. If you're not lucky, one-third of the way to your destination you will have to turn back, painfully aware of your throttle input and the pile of smoldering disappointment that used to be your wife in the passenger seat.

    Hopefully this blog (or at least the product that comes after it) will help save you from some of that turmoil.

    1994 was an eventful year.  Nelson Mandella became the president of South Africa, OJ Simpson gave the Ford Bronco some free air-time, and Dodge released the 2nd generation Ram pickup that would define the brand for the next thirteen years.

    Breaking the blocky, sedan-like mold poured by their competitors' previous generations, the designers of the second-generation Ram looked to the trucks of the 1950's to design an edition that stood out with just the right amount of bravado.  With its rolling fenders and massive front grille, little of the first-generation Ram remained when Dodged revealed the 1994 model. What did remain, however, was the option of getting your workhorse
