no they arent different lenghts. just how the end cover is. one for the fbodys have provisions where the exhaust and torque arm mount to where truck doesnt have those. i ran a Fbody converter with tail shaft coverd swapped fore a few miles

 

the heat is created from the trans slipping cause of hte much looser converter. with slippage you get heat, heat kills trans which why you need a large cooler

 

coolers are usually about 50$ for the kit. you need one. period.

 

unless you get a huge one and then its like 90 for it then cost of a fan

 

thanks for the info. what size would you use for our trucks? I've got a tranny cooler that's about 18"x14" and it cools the sandrail's th350 quite nice, but that is a different ballpark... also, would the gm factory HD tranny cooler that's on my truck already be suffictient?

treyz28 the tranny and converter are not the same thing, two seperate parts, they perform two seperate functions.

 

stock cooler IMHO is too small for a large stall and heavy vehicle. if something is 18x14 thats freaking huge dpending on the thickness

 

I'm sporting a 10"x17"x3/4". It was one of the first mods I did to the truck...

 

Then what did i bolt my tq converter to? Ive always called it a flywheel....

 

flexplate? i think the manuals have a flywheel and we have a flex plate....if it makes you feel any better beau i did have to check spdc2000 because i had no idea

 

it's a flexplate...
