Default trans cooler ?'s

guys, are you using your factory trans coolers with the aftermarket stalls or are you going with bigger ones?

I didnt know if my factory one was fine for a 2800-3000 stall or not?

I used this B&M cooler, I used the stock lines and cut the mounting brakets off the old cooler.

I used a 40K GVW cooler cause you never know when you might need the extra cooling its here

If I wouldnt ahve had that one on my trans diving back from AL without the ability to ahve the TC locked up I would have had to pull over constantly to let it cool down but since I have such a big one I didnt have to. You neve rknow when you might need it and I did. Atleast get a 24K nothing less with our heavy trucks and a high stall they can get hot quick.
