Tranny cooler install Q's
#2
If you keep the one in the radiator, have it cool the oil before going into the external one. Have the external one the last stop before going back into the tranny.
..Is that what you are asking?

I ran my with the stock cooler with the radiator one first then the external one back to the tranny it seems to work really well temps at about 180 or less even in 100 degree weather

Who knows. Run it both ways and find your best/coolest and go that way.
Also, keep in mind that the heat is generated mostly in the converter. So the more that converter stays locked, the cooler the temps will be.

The only time mine go over 180, is when I'm towing my camp trailer. Otherwise it's below 180 and takes a long time to get to 180 as well.
Most well known shops will tell you to delete the radiator cooler and just run the external - unless you are in a climate that requires the radiator to heat the oil - like sub 0's.
I still believe there is no harm in running it, as it does add a second cooler, which don't suck at all.

I bypassed the factory cooler, as this is what Performabuilt said to do. With a 4k stall, it still gets pretty warm. It gets to a temp that is about what the ECT is, so I'm not so sure it would help to run the factory cooler or not.

I'm all for trying both ways and go with what gets the oil the coolest during it's extreme times. 180* all day long is fine, but 220*+ bursts aren't. The extremes are what you are trying to avoid, IMO.... But I use mine for a completely different purpose, so I might be working mine harder. For me I saw a difference of 20*+ when I added the radiator in.
