Yup I'm running that one solo also blocked off my rad and all is good my tranny pan is barely warm to the touch even after some spirited driving.

yeah but it looks like you dont even have a stall. A big stall converter like mine adds ALOT of heat.

well i saw no real temp difference on the gauge. it did take longer to get hot though which is good. I really dont think this gauge is accurate. It says the temp is getting to 200 degrees, but i can touch my hand to the pan and its only warm....if it was 200 I shouldnt be able to even touch the pan i would think

I need to look into getting a gauge to keep track of my temps. I'm putting in a SS4000 in a few weeks. Is the 24,000 GVW B&M Supercooler BM70264 going to be enough to keep things cool? Thats what I ordered since it was the biggest avaliable from the sponsor I bought the stall from.

^^^i ran the 264 cooler for a long time on a 3200. I installed a trans gauge from day 1 so I have always known my temps.

OP, you have a gauge issue for sure.

Yeah I know. Its an Autometer gauge which are suppose to be good gauges. I am gonna try to find someone else with a tranny gauge I can borrow for a day and see if its any different. Also got to thinking. what size line are you running for the cooler?
