Need cooler advice I just had my tranny redone by a sponsor, CK Performance and noticed that my tranny temps are running a bit high (probably a big part of my problem in the first place). In 80* temps. in stop and go driving the temp is 200-205*. I haven't logged highway driving yet, but I'd like to see the temp. a bit lower. I'm running a B+M 15,000 GVW cooler along with the cooler in the radiator tank. Should I upgrade to a higher GVW cooler and stay with the radiator, or should I try running a cooler bypassing the radiator?
My Yank 3600 gets my temps up around 205-210* in 90+ degree weather in town. I'm bypassing mine tomorrow and will let you know. A lot of people here are saying the temps comes down between 10-25* ... worth a try.
With my 3600 stall, trans temp never goes above 180*, sitting in traffic in 95+ degree temps/high humidity. I've got mine going through the radiator and then into a 24,000gvw cooler. My temps don't seem to drop below 160 on the highway though.....I may look into bypassing the radiator and see if that helps. I'd like to see 130* temps on the highway.

Thanks a lot guys! I just got off the phone with B+M and they don't recommend by-passing the radiator unless I use something like a 28,000 GVW cooler (the cooler I have is way too small). I just ordered a 24,000 that I'm going to swap with the one I have and keep running through the radiator.
