$90 on eBay! Don't forget to purchase a remote filter kit and flush out a used cooler before installing it in your truck.

I just towed over 300 miles this past weekend and I never hit 160 on the scangauge!!! I have an electric temp gauge mounted in the test port bung of the tranny and that gauge won't go above 185-190!!! I'm completely satisfied!!

Nice install. Nice dash gauge pod too.

Great write up!! This should be "sticky worthy".

Hows the A/C performance with the new cooler? I took this same route when battling a trans. temp. issue on a 2002 f250. I put a big cooler out front and my A/C would suffer when the tranny cooler got hot.

I have honestly not noticed a difference in A/C temps. It might be because there is a couple inches of space between the cooler and the condenser. If you take your current cooler and space it further away from the condenser, you'd be surprised at how much cooler the A/C would run. Many aftermarket coolers arnt as thick as the factory options, so while they might look bigger than stock, the airflow capabilities are reduced a bit.

What is the coolest thing (no pun intended) about running this huge cooler, is that I can tow for several hours, open the hood, grab both red hoses, and the inlet side is too hot to hold, and the right side is warm but not too much to hold on. It's really efficient. The difference this thing makes is really incredible.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but out of curiosity, why did you decide to add another filter to it?

Hey, there are no dumb questions here. I added the extra filter for two reasons. One was to protect the trans from any particles from the cooler coming loose since it is used. The second is to allow me to change it quick and easy compared to dropping the pan to change the other one.

Two great reasons. Thanks man
