Im getting the trans fully built and a 2500 stall put in. Should i get a better trans cooler? Which one should i get?

 

i know b&m makes a good one. seeing that you have a radix and a stall coming, i would try to get the biggest one you can get. i think a few members on here are running permacools with no probs.

 

Tru-cool is good too, I have two of those. The problem with the popular B&M is that it is not as big of surface area and it is deeper. I got two of the Tru-cool 22,000 GVW coolers, they have a higher surface area and are thinner than the B&M, although both Tru-cool and B&M are made by Long Manufacturing. I put fans on both of them, and even towing a 6000 lb trailer up hill for several miles under boost, my tranny temp never tops 210. Normal operating range is between 165 and 180.

 

B&M 70264. Order that one.

 

would you guys bother with a fan, or is it not needed?

 

On the cooler?

 

Yea think its worth it?

 

I did it on mine for towing and because I live in AZ. Turning the fans on drops the temp by about 15 degrees or so. Try it without first, and if it's not doing the job then put a fan on later.

 

You going to SMI? They have a lot of coolers in stock.

 

Heres mine should do the trick
my tranny cooler
I tow all the time and go offroad and it does a great jon without a fan but I will be putting two 10" fans on it just for a little extra. Tranny usually sits at 160 cruising hottest its gotten towing was 190 in stop and go city traffic.
