Default Can someone recommend a tranny cooler?

I have decided that I would like to add a tranny cooler. Any recommendations are appreciated. I know that Ecklers sells one. Is that any good? What do you guys use?

Any links to a picture, information or online purchase option are appreciated as well.

Thanks.

Thunder Racing sells a B&M 24,000 that is perfect unless you road race. Circa $56 - www.thunderracing.com

Thanks EG.


Do you use it? If so, how much has it dropped your temps?

I bought a Long Mfg 24K cooler from a seller on eBay when I put the Magnacharger on my Avalanche. It's a good unit that includes everything needed to install it and that is supposed to be used by the OEMs. It appears to me to be the same thing as the B&M unit.

DRM installed a Hayden on mine. It works great. Always significantly cooler (20-35 degrees, at least) than anyone else I'm cruising with on the same roads, same speeds, same ambient temps, same distance. This is really the only way you can truly measure a cooler's effictiveness IMHO. Ambient temp, speed, roads (uphill,downhill) and distance all affect transmission temps.

I agree. Plus T/C and gears.
