What are you doing that your tranny temps are running that high? I have a buddy that pulls a 5th wheel all over the place, put the ATS tranny pan on and runs royal purple fluids and hasn't complained since. You think you need that big ole 2nd cooler?

ok yalls trucks cant be that diff from mine, i have 4 rads in the front + the ac condesner.. why not slap another rad ontop of the tranny rad you already have, they sell em with fans attached to them... that one youre talking about is more like a heat sink, id rather have a lil extra volume + a dedicated fan..

heres one for a diesel

sure it costs more than that ebayer but it will do a much better job.
on my next flush im throwing in amsoil tranny fluid..

if anything, you should install a oil cooler. The trans coolers in these trucks are outstanding and do the job very well. As mentioned, a deep pan would help keep it cool too.
