Default Trans cooler w/gauge

Hi, I am new here, have been looking around, searching the past posts. I am looking for a good trans cooler for my '99 2500. I will be pulling the trans to replace a leaky freeze plug and would like to install a trans cooler and a gauge to help monitor trans temps. This truck does not have the towing package and since it gets hot here, in AZ, I would like to try to keep the trans as cool as I can. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I think a cooler with it's own integrated fan is the best way to go. I am also happy with the cooler I run. It is a Flexalite Heavy Duty.

Someone on here has a cooler setup. They also have a filter that has the trans cooler gauge as an option with it. They had pics too. I looked up the parts and am considering the same. Will search and get back.

I was just wondering. I installed a tranny temp sensor manifold block on the tranny outlet tubing. Most accurate place, unless there is one on the cooler before it gets cooled
