Default hopefully ive got plenty of cooling...

Well, just finished installing the second cooler tonight. Figure with the th350 and a 4400 stall getting street driven often, I couldnt have enough cooling capacity. So I added one cooler "dope style" if you will and the other on the condensor in front of the drivers side fan. The one on the condenser gets air pulled through it like crazy from the fan, but figure 2 cant hurt. I will be installing my trans temp gauge when it gets here this week, ill let everyone know how the temps are.

Did you install it in series or in parallel? I have heard that if you install them in series it can actually cause fluid starvation because the time it takes to flow through both coolers. Parallel is always the recommended way it seems.

nope, they are in series. Looks like some do recommend to run them in parallel, but hundreds of people run them this way with no problems it appears. All the 4x4 guys recommend to run them in series, it should be ok.

Running just two stand alone coolers you should be fine. However more than that or running through the stock cooler in raditor and then through them you should consider parralell.
Heavy cooler restriction causes increased presure in the converter and can cause excessive engine thrust bearing wear.
Again though with just the two and no kinked lines etc you should be fine.
