[QUOTE=joehawkz71]so what do you think about this one???
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-T...0348QQtcZphotoQUOTE]

This is what I have in my truck. Did not take much work to install, other than drilling a hole to mount (don't drill into A/C condensor) and modifying tranny lines to hook up. Probably took 1 hr tops. I didn't get to fancy with hoses, just clamps and rubber hose that came in kit, no trouble after a few months of install now. Tranny runs way cooler than before, I don't think I need a larger one and tow a fair good load on hot days. Tranny has never been above the middle line, can't remember what temp that is. It even fit in between my condensor and the radix heat exchanger, very nice.
Good luck!

I have this one which doesnt have thermal bypass for hotter climates where the trans temp will always get up to operating temp easily

I am planning on adding a cooler to my stock cooler. I was just going to take the line out of the stock cooler and run it into the additional cooler and back to the tranny. Sound right? That way they are in series. Will rubber hoses and clamps be enough to hold the lines, pressure wise? I was going to ziptie the new cooler directly onto the stock one. Not much room left in there after the radix heat exchanger....

Its cheap and isnt worth the hassel of a different hose. I like my tru cool max. I have the one that Cody (1slow01Z71) stated and i have started to beat on my tranny just this past week. I have yet to see a tranny temp go up to 180* in 90* weather.

i would not run it with your stock cooler! you will have to much pressure drop.
