Would you guys recommend getting a bigger tranny cooler for the TB stall or will the stock cooler work?

I would get a 15K cooler or something close to that I have heard some people have cooling issues in the summer oyu probably wont righ tnow but when it gets hotter you may run into problems.

we have talked about this over @silveradoss.com

I have the shift kit, tb tc and I put the Bm supercooler on, and my trans temps are low.

the cooler is just for the summer, and is nice b/c is varies the flow for how cold the fluid is. I think the best way to tow was in 3rd- so you dont lock up the converter and heat it up too much.

oh yea I put a 160 stat which should lower your trans temps some too...


I was worried about my temp too, but when it is 20 out I will have to wait for the summer to check if it stays cool.

Info:
The trans /converter is designed to apply in 2nd,3rd,and 4th gear.Also the fact is the trans stays cooler with the converter locked up/applied.
