Default Mounted my Tru Cool 40k transmision cooler a little different.

So i finally got around to installing my 40,000 GVW Tru Cool transmission cooler. I put it after my radiator because this is such an efficient cooler that if mounted up front like most people do my tranny would run at about 150* and that's a little too cool for me. Plus mounting it after everything i'll get better A/C performance and my motor will run quite a bit cooler, since i by passed the stock radiator in tank transmission cooler and removed the front auxiliary cooler.
Tranny temps before were about 200* and coolant was about 189* with about 103* ambient temps in stop and go driving.
After temps with about 102* ambient temp stop and go driving were about tranny 180* and coolant 177*.
Stock auxiliary cooler

Tru-Cool 40,000 GVW cooler.

150 degree tranny temps are perfectly fine. I'm sorry but this cooler setup is ******* retarded. You should've gotten a smaller cooler if you were that worried about it.

That pic was during the install. Fans go on just like normal. You have almost 3" between your radiator and fans.

How is it retarded? I put i the cooler last since it's highly efficient so as to free up the cooler air for the the other coolers. The way i see it my set up has my temps all running pretty cool in a tank with a 3200 stall.
Well i also put it there cause i need the room upfront for this.

10 degree?
Whoops, fixed my post it was more like 20* drop in tranny temps.
I had to ditch the front mount tranny cooler so i got a huge one, ran it after all the other coolers and still dropped 20 degrees, coolant temps went down quite a bit too. All will come into play very well after this up coming week.
