you might want to ask tactransman on DT since we don't have MonteC any more.
i don't know much about the amount of cooling needed, just that if the style cooler that you already have is the only cooler then it won't be enough. the style you have added to the stock cooler will help some but if you bypass the stock cooler all together then it won't be enough.

I think I'm gonna pick up the imperial xl hd that advance has. it's like the stocker in style so I think it should be fine. It's only 50 bucks. I have talked to Terry before when I was looking for a new tc.

I would think the deep pan made by Derale.

it cost about $100. Not bad when you think about it. It take 3 quarts more fluid.

I believe it does. I've seen a lot of stock tranny coolers on rams in the bone yard. Are you talking about the one that goes in front of the radiator.
