Default Trans cooler

I put in a B&M Super Cooler,seems to work good,never seen a trans temp above 180*F so far.For install I split the upper trans line from radaitor to trans at the rubber part.Then used barbed connectors & fuel injetion style clamps to keep things tight & leak proof,& better chance of not comming off.Mounted the cooler in front of radiator with the "quick" mounting straps provided with this unit.I've done it like this on several vehicles & never had a problem.

You can probably get this cooler at most auto parts chains,local speed shops or on-line automotive sites.

I also have a B&M cooler on my car, it works very well in reducing tranny temps. I bought mine on line from Jeg's.

I have a smaller B&M 24000 GVW and have never had my temps reach 190 with my SY3500 & 3.42's
