What tranny cooler do y'all use?
 
I use a B and M 16000GVW cooler mounted on the passenger side of the A/C condenser.

Anybody else?

Dope, i have the pics of yours you posted long ago. i know its hard to tell, but do you get ample flow through the cooler with it mounted like that?

As far as I can tell. I have not seen above 180 degrees on the fluid temp, in the middle of the summer.

With it sitting off the airdam like that, it gets looooots of flow.

16,000 GVW plate type cooler (forgot brand) mounted on bottom passenger side of condensor.

I have the B&M 16000GVW also. How is everyone mounting theirs to the bottom of the condesor, and is it keeping tranny temps low enough in the summer? I have mine mounted to the bumber and air dam in the front of the car, but I want to move it. It blocks off too much air flow to my FTRA right now.

B&M 16,000GVW. It’s mounted to the bottom passenger side of the radiator/condenser support frame. Keeps the temps below 200 until I really start to beat on it...

I'm thinking of switching to your mounting style but I have a question:

Does it work well in slow stop & go traffic too?

With it currently on the condensor, when my fans kick on sitting at a stoplight, I can see the tranny temp drop. That helps in heavy traffic as the converter is being worked hard, but the car's speed is below 30 mph.</strong><hr></blockquote>

Like I said, highest I've seen was ~180 in the summer (stop + go on a 4 lane highway for 20 mins, 70-80 degree ambient temps).

I 'only' have a 3000 stall though. For reference, however, with the STOCK converter and NO cooler, I saw more than 240 degrees several times in the summer (more like 90 degrees though).
