Default tru-cool / warranty

Alright guys I drive my 2013 on weekends up and down and tranny temps shoot up to 130+ been thinking about adding a tru-cool 40k but I dont know if adding this will void my warranty anybody know if I will run into problems with the dealer if I go ahead and add this to it

This kind of stuff is hit and miss, but I really think it can only help. 130 is no big deal at all.

Normal operating temps are between 160-200. 130 is actually not so great for your trans. Colder temps can be just as damaging as hot temps.

I put a 30k cooler on mine and the highest temps ive seen thos winter are 135. Thats running cool at 130. No worries at all. And 130 is not too cool. Has no ill effect on trans. Only really cold like freezing and below can you tell any difference.

GM says keep it below 270 ... I think you're safe.

I hit 197 at the track a few months ago in 75 +/- weather on factory tranny cooler and when I'm pulling my 7k trailer it's usually around 150.
