Cooling a Cooler? I am getting my PT4000 installed and i bought a B&M cooler, the one just above the 24GVW, i think the part number is 70266(or something). My question is since i dont have a gauge to monitor temps is there anythin i can do to ensure the the cooler stays cold, by cold dont mean slightly warm i mean cold. I know for chargers they have an after cooler that can hold ice and such, i would like to hear opinions on what people have done other than just let the air hit it.

thats a big TC. the 24k is ok, but i have a 28k, and my trans still gets warm. theres no way its gonna stay COLD. one thing that really helps out alot is a fan switch. i would definately get one. i consider it just as important as a cooler.
but the trans temp guage is not hard at all to install. i can email you a write up if you want?

Not doing anything unusual but i live in Texas and its summer, and if a do some high speed runs i dont have a gauge right now to monitor temps. i dont have a lower besides teh stock t-stat, but when at a stop both fans come on.

Verdad Gallardo If you are using a stock T-stat, you might bypass the built-in tranny cooler becuase your temps are high. I would do a 160 T-stat if you are really concerned about cooling.
