Default tranny temps

Now with my 3400 stall i cant cruise for more than like an hour or my tranny is runnin 210 or so. I have a 22,000 GVW cooler on there but it doesnt seem to be working, would 2 coolers do much better? I have another 18,000 GVW cooler in the garage.

Do you have the GVW and stock trans coolers both hooked up?

If you have both hooked up the fluid should go into the radiator/trans cooler first, then the GVW afterwards.

The Radiator operating temp is usually 210* so if you flow through the GVW first, then when it hits the radiator, it will actually heat up the temps.

This is why it's supposed to go stock/radiator, then aftermarket cooler, so the aftermarket can further cool the temps.

Many people reccomend bypassing the radiator/stock transmission cooler completely and running only the GVW.

You also need to make sure that where you mounted your GVW it gets good airflow.

Try the second cooler and tell us what happens. I am going to run a second cooler as well since I hit 210 on really hot days in the city or after WOT runs. Normal cruising is 180 with my setup.
