Some recommend bypassing the stock radiator/cooler, as during the warmer summer months the hot coolant temps will excessively heat the trans fluids as well.
Personally, I've always heard that running the aftermarket cooler in conjunction with the stock cooler can provide up to 30% more cooling. This is what I'm doing.

This is what I was told:
If you plan on driving it in the cold (parked outside in the cold overnight or throughout the day), then run both the stock and the aftermarket cooler in series. The stock cooler will help heat up the fluid faster.
If you do not plan on driving it in the cold, then the aftermarket cooler alone will have cooler temps because the stock cooler will have the hot engine coolant preventing the heat to dissipate from the transmission fluid.
Like I said, this is just what has been told to me by several people. I plan on running just the aftermarket cooler and capping off the stock one.
