So I'm rebuilding my transmission and I'm debating a cooler I'm sure that this topic has been beat to death but i can't find a definitive answer. I live in the frozen tundra of Wisconsin, and I rarely tow or haul much I'm afraid adding a cooler to my truck will cause my trans temp to be to low. I know from last winter with out the cooler I would have to drive quite a few miles of put a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator to get the truck to shift into overdrive. So I guess I'm wondering should I put a cooler on or not.

 

if you don't tow or plow, you don't really need one.

 

Thanks I'm going to put in a temp gauge I guess I can always asses it from there.

 

i found a good EXTERNAL filter. just put in the right way. most chrysler trans have in fluid on the left side at the rear. be sure to use steel brake tube or high pressure hose. chrysler fluid tubing should be 3/8 dia. its cut and paste sorry.

man o man i about forgot yes its a cut & past sorry. __________________
