Default Need help picking transmission cooler

Ok guys, I hit a deer with my stock DD. Pulled out the radiator, and replaced it with a 34" and efans. I told the body guy that I was going to get a trans cooler so he got a radiator without the trans cooler in it.

Most I ever tow over any kind of distance is about 4500lbs, and it's not very often.

I don't feel the need for a 40k, the one I have on my stalled truck works too well sometimes. I see a bunch on ebay that are only 7500 BTU, and I don't feel like those will be near enough... anyone have any suggestions?

I know that... that's what the other truck is for.

This one is staying stock though. I have the other truck when I want to go out and have some fun.

My "race" truck is already stalled with a 40k.

I put race in quotations because it's WAY too slow to be considered race anything.

For the price, race truck or not I wold suggest the 40k. it's not one of those things you can really go overboard on.

I'm kind of second guessing my 40k on my stalled truck... in the winter, it's a major PITA to get the trans over 110*... I really need the bypass, but now with the truck sitting in storage, I think it can wait for the bypass.
