Yes there is a factory cooler, its in your radiator. I run a stand alone Tru-cool cooler #4490. I got mine from http://www.makcotransmissionparts.com/tru-cool-lpd.html.

Yes sir. Transcoolers are very important especially with a stall. A good investment.

Go with a plate cooler. Most are made by Long Company in Canada and sold under various names here. I prefer the B+M 70274.

You basically have a tube/fin and a plate. A tube and fin lets the fluid travel faster (meaning cooled less) with less restriction and its the cheaper of the two. A plate cooler slows the fluid down so it can be cooled more, slightly bulkier, and slightly more expensive.

I have one. It has just over 4 k miles on it and was in my daily driver. Had a 3600 stall and it never saw hot temps, works flawless and can be installed easily. $35 shipped to anyone who wants it
