4l60e is toast

Well Ill put it this way Gonzo I had the factory cooler on there with my 3000 stall and it would get over 210 all the time under jsut brisk driving, then I put my 40,000GVW cooler on there and it never gets over 165-175 even beating on it. You know as well as I do one of the main enemies of trans is heat. After seeing the factory cooler I jsut dont ahve faith in its ability to cool a high performance application properly just my opinion.

So heat doesnt kill trannies.... Cold does?

any time you can add surface area to a radiator you are going to help with cooling.....
I dont know where you get the info that a larger trans cooler does not help......any time you can keep the trans temps down you are better off. Heat is the NUMBER 1 killer of a transmission......

If the factory cooler keeps temps out of the danger zone what good is a bigger cooler? do you know the danger zone temps of a trans and for how long? A bigger cooler brings does the temps out of the trans sooner ,yes
