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.

read thru the following. i left the oe in place.

http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forums/1gen-tundra/191506-atf-temp-seems-high/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.

Thanks im going to my local autozone, they have one in stock. I checked the scanguage website and it says it can do 05 and up so im gonna buy it. If it doenst work gonna return it and get an in pan one. thanks

alright just got the scangauge, works good i have a 06 tundra DC had to input the code. thanks 03 baja

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

until it registers FULL on the stick?

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.

good clean install. nicely done!

Thanks.

Looks good, but I'd watch my coolant temps for a while to make sure the radiator is getting enough airflow.

Were you having ATF temp problems?

No, but the number one killer of auto transmissions is heat and the first gen's have had there issues. The coolant temps have been good, but will keep an eye on it for sure. I live in Florida and actually got sunburned today working on a sleep platform for the bed. That really sucks for the latter part of January, I need some cooler temps.

dipstick?, thats when hot right?
