Transmission running hotter
I have an 80 swap and 40k cooler. I live in Florida and obviously it's warmer out. However in 75-80 degree weather I ran 150-155 trams temp. Now I run 185-190. Trams has about 10k miles on it. I'm going to do a fluid and filter change again soon. What are your thoughts on bypassing the internal cooler in the radiator if I don't see an improvement.

Thanks for the input, that was my thought because my trans with a 4000 stall never saw over 150 normal driving. I now know what my next little task is this week, thank you

Bypass it if you like, but don't leave it like that when the weather cools off. You want it to bring the trans up to temp quicker instead of letting it run cold.

Yeah bypass the radiator cooler it will run cooler with the 40k trucool. Mine runs around 150-180 in crappy Tampa traffic during rush hour stop and go in this heat and won't get past 120 on the high way and thats in my 2500hd.
