Default Trans cooler is done. Tru cool still best?

Well my trans cooler is plugged plum up. It's the biggest tru cool. Are they still the Mac daddy of coolers or it there a bigger one? The stock rad cooler is clogged too, is there a better rad than the stock 34" with out spending an *** ton? I'm not taking a chance with either by cleaning them. I might even do the lines.

I think there are better coolers. Tru cool is big on this forum because it's decent, cheap and easy to install.

Get a trans cooler for a 6L or 6.4L PS diesel, that's what I always used to run... I've even seen People run AC condensers off small cars for trans coolers. The ford cooler is about twice the size of your tru cool. Bigger core and bigger fittings too.

hell no. trans price vs cooler price is huge. its pluged up enough fluid bearly comes out. i'm not chancing that on a high dollar trans.


those ford coolers are massive and so is the price. so far they run about $300.
