Just an SD cooler.
And ya, anything over 200 (even once) completely destroys ATF

I tried telling him that. Might be easier to just change fluid than hooking up a sd cooler.

Krack, where are you getting the temps from? Just wondering about the reliability of what ever your using. 200+ temps should have killed your trans a long time ago.

Hmm I'm judging my temps based off factory sensor. I just plug in the SCT device. Maybe his sensor is located somewhere odd?

Is there a link on how to hook up the SD cooler? I think ill be doing that for my rig too. I assume it's fairly plug and play, but would be nice to see some pics. I got alot of junk inside my valance.

Also: does anyone know of a drop in and no modificatyion needed radiator which has better cooling capacity than stock?
