i got the tru-cool 2800 gvw and it stays around 160* unless i romp on it alot. it never goes over 200. 1/2 the price and gets the job done. i dont like the whole tranny never warming in the winter idea. i drove from huntsville to spring in the winter and it never heated with the 2800.

 

I never had any problems even when I lived in Northern Alabama, the trans temps still got up to 140ish according to my escy cluster and thats without the bypass. I dont really see needing it honestly.

 

I'm running the 40,000GVW from bulkpart with no external bypass. I haven't had any problems. I have mine routed through the factory radiator fittings, so that helps warm the fluid during the cooler months.

You shouldn't have any problems in Houston.

 

Thanks fellas, I'm gonna go ahead and order the 40GVW w/o external bypass.

 

Me too temps never get over 160*

 

same here...160 is the highest I've seen it
