Default yank 3000

I am finally getting a yank 3000. I have an aux. cooler as part of the tow package. Do I need to add another cooler inline. maybe one w/ a fan or will my stock set up work since it already has an external cooler?Thanks, Slowec

You should be fine with the cooler from the tow package,a TT3000 doesn't generate excessive heat like some of the higher stalled converters.

Exactly what Whitt1 said. I did install an Escalade cluster with trans temp gauge and mine hasn't gone over 150-160 even in the dead of summer on 90+ degree days. I would imagine when towing that the temps could get higher, but I haven't had any issues and I'm running the factory cooler. You're gonna love that converter.

Thanks, badmofo. I am hoping to get well in the 8s in the 1/8th.This is the most attention my truck has seen.If all goes well , I will add drag radials, servo and converter this week. I am stoked.

All is gonna go well, and you're gonna need them drag radials! It takes a little "getting used to" as far as launching goes, there is no more bringing it up against the converter and flooring it from a stop. I'm sure you will be in the 8's in the eight if you've already ran 9.2's.

i put a B&M supercooler, 24000 gvwr, highway driving will get the temps way down compared to my stock cooler, city driving will get hot, usually what the engine temp reads, but never get to 200. i am always checking these temps out with my scanner. so no guessing numbers with the stock guages.

I am putting the yank in this week.Do you really need a shift kit and servo to run a 3000. Where is a cheap place to buy with fast service.Thanks, Slowec
