Tranny cooler for our vans

I'am thinking of installing a heavy duty tranny cooler on the van.
However,I do not want to spend a lot of time trying to make this cooler fit.

What type of tranny cooler do you all recommend that would bolt right in to our vans. I want to reduce my tranny temps by at least 20 degrees.

I would like to install a cooler in series with my existing tranny cooler or install a larger cooler by itself.

The following website shows the Tru-Cool tranny cooler on sale for $76.53 at: www.bulkparts.com

The Tru-cool tranny cooler (#4590) is the same as the (#41312) which sells for $121.83 from other dealers for a $45.30 savings.

Anybody using this tranny cooler?

CountryCruizer,thanks for the reply.
I'll probably order one and see if it fits on the van w/o a lot of modifications. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I wonder if the other vanners are using a tranny cooler and if so,what type. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Tranny cooler for our vans

Aceman,

No extra cooler yet, but watching those tranny temps [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] - so far so good, towing around 150 to 170 max to date over the Cumberland mtns. on I-68 185 for a short time until the factory fan came on and then back down to the 170 range.

Larry

Re: Tranny cooler for our vans

Larry,those are good temps your running.
I'am seeing about 180 degrees max even when towing.
I just want to bring the temps down into the 150 to 160 degree range to help extend the life of my future BTS tranny. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Tranny cooler for our vans

Tom, posts from the truck site have temps reduced by just adding the extra capacity(3 qts) trans pan....also has drain plug to boot....but on the other hand if you're going to install the BTS trans probably a new cooler would be better...my .02 bill

Re: Tranny cooler for our vans

Bill,thanks.
I already installed the MagHytec tranny pan about 1.5 years ago and saw a 20 degree reduction due to the extra 8 quart capacity.
Also,aded the Maghytec rear diff.cover about the same time too.
