Since i cant go to sleep ive been looking for Transmission coolers..
Thinking about putting a cooler in the bed of my truck and filling it with Ice and some water.. placing the transmission cooler in the lower portion of the icy water.. wonder what that will help me with??
If it works that would be ideal when towing.. it would keep the water pretty chilly and if working right it should keep the IATs down dramatically....
Hey it sounds like i can keep myself busy trying things now....
Maybe 2 or 3 transmission coolers off in the icy water then to the intercooler...
This is where a Bed Cover will help out alot!!
And to make sure the cooler doesnt have a drain plug and either strap it down or something.... Last thing you want to do is flood the track with several gallons of water..
