Default tranny cooler ?

i had my 3200 stall put in at the end of last week and have yet to put a cooler in it. haven't really driven it around much but then again its been 31 degrees here. my question is i bought a cooler before i knew what to get and got a 10,000 gvw cooler is that going to be good enough for cooling or should i add an additional cooler to that one considering i just got a 15,000 gvw cooler for free. also when you guys install your coolers do you run them alone or do u go back into the radiator? thanks in advance

You still need to route your cooling lines back into the radiator.

Go back to the radiator, and you need more than 10k most go with 24k.

I would by-pass the radiator. Why have the radiator heat your tranny fluid up? If you talk to TCI or any other reputable tranny builder, they will tell you to by-pass the radiator so your cooler is an independent system. I would sell the two you have and buy one 24K unit, or you can daisy chain your two together as well, up to you..
