aftermarket trans cooler

[slomoe]

When installing an aftermarket trans cooler, is everyone leaving the existing oe transcooler and installing a second in line or replacing the old one with the larger cooler? May be a foolish question, but thought I'd ask. I was thinking of putting to aftermarket one in place of the old oe setup.

Thanks baja, that's the exact way I was going to install my cooler. Just wanted some confirmation as for those who have already done an install.

the scangauge II reads ONLY up to 2004 I THINK. there are codes here somewhere, that's where i got mine. search for scangauge atf temp codes or similar.

The Torque Pro Android app reads the ATF temps fine.

how do you know how much atf to put in if you change the heat exchanger and hose size?

Replaced my stock Tranny Cooler with B&M Supercooler

its been quite some time but its great more surface area for cooling

Did anyone bypass the radiator to avoid the strawberry milkshake? If so, did you use a good synthetic?

Well did the install yesterday, and it turned out just fine. Once I figured out how I wanted to mount it, I made my own brackets out of 1/8'' x1 alum stock and used all stainless nutz and boltz. After getting the cooler in, I hooked up the lines and with no leaks done.
