Had a B& M cooler on...didn't like it....replaced it with a Hayden 24k unit...I like that one.
Tranny temps rarely go above 160° now, where with the B&M, it would frequently allow the tranny fluid to become hotter than the radiator coolant temp at hwy speeds.

From: Ponderables, yes. My opinion, not totally. Preaching...I don't have a pulpit. Fact and generalizations about what I am reading on behalf of what you tell me...absolutely.
are they hard/difficult to install? I have been thinking about one of these for quite some time, but never installed one. Tips? Tricks? Somebody want a case of beer and steaks on the grill?

I do not race the car but I still want the one which gives me the best results.
Any recommendations as to type i.e. with fan or with out fan
and size. I know size does count.
Thanks

Tru-cool
I just put on a tru-cool 24,000 "today", the ouside temp was 107 (az) degrees temp got to 170 on trans I went about 5 miles, very happy so far. Will check it next weekend with more running around. I had it installed with metal brackets in the center of the radiator, plenty of room. I have 100 miles on a new trans. And was worried about buning up another.
