Thumbs up Is installing 2nd Tranny cooler OK??

Please read both paragraphs

1.I found out that there is already an "Auxiliary cooler” on it because of the Tow package thanks to the paragraph #2. I bought a auxiliary Tranny cooler before I knew this info. Will putting on the 2nd cooler hurt the Tranny or help the cooling?? If not I’ll return it and put the $$ into a bigger rear axle cover like one from a PML great prices.

Your thoughts on this??

2. **Let me say I'm sorry if I cut and pasted this wrongly, and I hope I didn't offend anyone especially the original poster of this site. It's a great site I got my build sheet 3 days later and great information everything I needed thank you very much.

the factory aux cooler is plenty, short of a major rig job I don't even know how you'd run another one. If you are still concerned, instead of the PML diff cover get a higher capacity tranny pan with the cooling fins, or do both...

Thanks HammerZ71. I may send the cooler back and go with a deeper pan along with the rear PML cover. Or I'll just fill the tranny and rear-end with Royal Purple. Keep on reading the added cooling and wear factor comments really help out on the over all mileage and all.

sk425k thanks for the help on the link too
