Re: Pics of transmission coolers
Thanks for the pics. Do you have the part number for the cooler you bought? Did you install a trans temp guage?

Re: Pics of transmission coolers
I used a small condensing unit out of a commercial refer. From 85 to 2000 it was mounted in front of the radiator and worked with no problems. This time I am putting it under the passenger step. I left enough room for a thin electric fan if the temps get out of hand. I put in a tee to monitor the temp at the output line before the cooler. Because the frame, transmission, etc. flex so much off road I use hose connections between the hard lines and transmission.
