Talking Questions before cooler and stall install...

ok i just ordered a yank ss4000 stall from a recent GP. Im trying to get ready for the installation with a tranny cooler but i am 2nd guessing myself now. I have installed these before and never had a problem but just thought i would ask some of you guys bc i value some of yalls expert opinions on A4s. question #1: will a 11'' by 11'' performance cooler be enough for a ss4k????? Question #2 bc the cooler manufacture recommends this cooler be used for motorhomes and RVs, would it be big enough to just run this cooler as my ONLY mode of cooling?? thought i might put less stress on the transmission pump=longer tranny life maybe. thanks in advance
xbox controller for size reference. lol

Im running this cooler on my SS4k and its badass. Im running cooler only as running the radiator and cooler inline create more load for the trans pump and the radiator heats the trans fluid up. This will be perfect for your app. Slightly overkill which is a good thing in this case.

That also looks like my cooler I have an FTI 4k stall dont look at the size pay attention to the GVW ratings of the cooler most people run 24k GVW and up and i'm guesing your's is atleast that or more.

ill check the GVW when i get home. sounds like i will just route hoses to bypass the rad all together. I like to simplify things anyways.

I believe that one is rated at 29,200 GVW or somewhere very close. The 24k is the B+M 70264 which is about 1/3 smaller. Its a very popular cooler.

Looks like it will do fine. Your not running a TH350 with 600hp so that would will suffice plenty. It actually looks like a big cooler you can pick up from u-haul lol.
