Default Best Transmission Cooler for 4l60e? please chime in

Hi guys, just quick question. I am looking for a really good transmission cooler for my 4l60e shift kit and 3200 stall. If anybody has any ideas looking for a nice cooler fan no fan? Just want something to keep the life in my trans for a while. If you can throw part number or name of cooler that would be great.

Thanks

Have you read the stickies in this section? Lots of good cooler info there. Most here prefer B+M plate coolers. They are made by a company called Long in Canada and they are sold under different names. If it looks like a B+M, its likely the same cooler made by the same company. Most will run the 70264, but being down in the south, I choose to upgrade to the 70274 for the extra cooling capacity.

IMO go big or go home...the bigger the better especially with a stall.

I'll prolly go with the 264 then. Plus it'll save me some cash since I can get ot with the installation hardware for cheaper than the 274 without hardware

Ive found that airflow is key in keeping temps down. When I moved my big cooler to the bumper support area I lost a ton of airflow (even with a hole cut in the bumper) so I had to add a fan.

yeah im thinking the addition of my larger 31" intercooler directly behind my bumper and I think the changed air flow has made my B&M a little less efficient

Does anyone know if they use a B&M unit, or is it their own?
