Question for you auto transmission guys, and Crash since you

You want the add on cooloer in line with the one in the radiator because you still want some heat in the trans fluid--you can kill a tranny by running it too cold also.

Yes--you want the stock filter to stay in place. Sediments(clutch/steel/bushing) will setter in the pan and can easily be disturbed--you want that protection from the filter. Personally I would not run a secondary filter--I have never seen the need for it in the hundreds of trucks I see a year.

Sounds good, I wont worry about the 2nd filter then. I was just hopping I could run the remote filter in place of the stock one so I didn't have to drop the pan but its not a big deal I guess, I change it what once a year or so.

Back to top.

Crash/Kev (or anyone else)...another related question.

I pulled the grille off the truck to measure and mock up a mount for the new cooler. When I did I noticed that there is a stock cooler in front of the radiator and a/c evaporator it's a little bigger then an VHS tape. Looks like they also put a cooler on the power steering system but it's just a small double pass unit.

I figure I'll replace the OEM one with the bigger cooler I have. It looks like the lines run from the trans to the radiator to the auxillary cooler and then back to the trans.

However they are all formed pressure lines. When I pull the stock Auxillary cooler can I just get an adapater to a barbed fitting, and run a short rubber hose from the hard line to my cooler? The cooler has barbed fittings.

Or should I find a cooler with threaded inlet/outlets?
