transmission cooler - whatcha got?

cc cherokee · 10-06-2006, 08:44 AM

Thinking of getting a trans cooler. What brand and size do you run?

hayden. the small model meant for 16000 or less. bought it at pep boys for 30$

I got the rustys one. I like it. Smaller than most of them but its better than nothing, and for 30 bucks you cant beat it!

I have a flex-a-lite 18000 cfm or whatever those 3 letters are/mean.

They are all pretty much the same really. It's hard to find a crappy tranny cooler.

Ive also read about people getting ones off larger trucks at the JY and running those (if you are really cheap).

B&M Cooler

Don't run one currently, but am going to pick up a Hayden 405 off of Ebay (around $40)

Hayden Imperial from Advanced. I bought the biggest one that they had in stock. I think I paid around $70 for it plus another $20 for barbed fittings, hose clamps, and extra transmission fluid.

Better than no cooler at all

The only way to really gauge it is to have a temp reading on the trans. Then you'd know how hot it really is running.

i'm running the rustys one which is a flex-a-lite cooler.. kinda small but like said by others, better than nothing.. 30 bucks..

DementedXJ · 10-06-2006, 04:18 PM

would there be any adverse effects of painting it black to blend in? I don't like how it sticks out like a sore thumb behind the grill..

**balloo93** · 10-06-2006, 05:39 PM

I wouldn't paint it....Just tell people it's your intercooler!
