Exclamation Transmission Cooler

Hey guys,

As some of you know, I'm getting a 20' camper. I know I will need a transmission cooler and a guage.
Would this cooler be good enough for me?

THANKS!!

I have the tube and fin type like that, but I don't have a gauge, so who knows how well it works... I have heard a lot of people say the plate type (like the B&M's) are better than the tube and fin type. I get my tranny filter at Napa, but I don't know about the different part #'s...I just tell 'em what I need and they get it.

The 58163 filter looks like the one that is described in my 1999 FSM.

y'all don't want a monster of a cooler
too big and your tranny wont heat up to operating temps, especially when not pulling
and a twenty foot camper cant be all that heavy, what i pull on the farm, now thats heavy lol
