How many of you are running a B&M 28K GVW tranny cooler? Just curious if it fits and if it did, was it a pain to intall and was it a tight fit? Also, was there any cutting, removing, relocating, etc. of anything to make it fit? Lastly, if anyone is using this big of a cooler with the FTRA and not having to modify it one bit? Thanks

Re: How many of you are running a B&M 28K GVW tranny cooler? i've had my 28k on for about a month now, and had no problems at all with the fit. it is nice and snug at the top and i just used two cooler tiedowns at the botom and its not going anywhere. the only problem i have had was that i didnt get the two fittings tight enough and i got some leaks around the threads, but that was my fault. make sure those are tight if you get one, it was a mess taking it all apart after i thought i was done. this thing does work though, if im at 185 when i get on the highway it only takes a minute or two to get the temps down to 150. i think the fittings and everything else ended up costing about $25-30 so make sure you figure that in.

Re: How many of you are running a B&M 28K GVW tranny cooler? YES IT IS VERY EASY TO RUN IT WITH VERY LITTLE MODIFYING, BUT IT IS A TIGHT FIT AND TAKES A LOT OF PATIENCE

a 19k GVW will fit w/no cutting... 24K GVW i'm not sure about... but I think it'll fit w/out cutting... the 28K you're going to need to cut the FTRA unless you find another place to mount it... and there really isn't a better place than right in front of the radiator above the air damm

Re: How many of you are running a B&M 28K GVW tranny cooler? Yah, I use the 28k and it's kinda tight in there, but it'll fit. With a ram air kit, it's going to be really hard to get it in there.

mine is either 26 or 28k, whatever the biggest B&M had to offer....and i took the windshield washer resivoire out and cut the black plastic piece there and mounted it to the metal bracket behind where the washer resivoire used to be. i hope u guys understand my crappy description, i wish i had pics. oh....to run the lines to it i just drilled two holes in the top of the black air dam and ran them through. the fittings are pretty much at the top of the airdam.

I have seen pics of tranny coolers installed underneath the blinker light. Looked good but I would assume WILWAXU setup would be more efficient.
Also with the setup I mentioned above, I don't know what size cooler they used and also it would suck if you got into a fender bender cause the cooler is gonna get crushed
