Default do i need a bigger trans cooler??

hi there!
i just swapped an lq9 in to my 98 excab and blew the 4l60 the first day, so now i have installed a low mileage 80e with a circle d 3000 converter, so should i make new lines and keep the facotry cooler on the radiator and small factory cooler behind the grill or should i buy adapter fittings and install this dual core aftermarket cooler with e fan and braided lines that I already have?? is it needed or overkill?? thanks for the feedback i do have a enclosed car trailer that i plan on towing soon

Bypass the factory cooler....its a heater, not a cooler.

Put the dual core on it.....cooler is always better for longevity of all parts.
