Necessary to run 2 Coolers?
Okay I decided to go with a Yank SS3200. I have one cooler already installed in front of the radiator, but I have a feeling that this might not be enough. Should I run a second cooler, and if so where should it be mounted? Let me know what you think. My drive it quite a bit uphill and I want this sucker to stay cool.

I have a 19,000 on one side, I'm putting another 19,000 on the other side and I'm gonna link'em together. The fluid will go through both before returning.

The B&M's are nice, but if you want a real nice one, Setrab's are alot more effiecient than the B&M....but they cost one arm and one leg..lol. I have one that is a tad larger than the B&M, but it has twice the rows, but it was 200.00. This is going on my coupe.
I have a B&M on my TA and was going to put a second one on...car is getting a PG. I had this one cooler with a PT4400 and it ran fine. You just can't be assin' around on hot days though. I sold my tranny to some fool and it blew up because he was doing this....now he thinks I sold him a bum tranny.

A couple of days and nights ago in the Hot humid 90 degree Chicago weather my trans temps reached a little past 225 degrees and it freaked me out completely. So I bypassed the radiator and used two B&M coolers, One mounted in front of the radiator and the other one mounted dope style. I then took an hour cruise with the car on the street and on the highway and my temps did not go over 150. When I pushed the car to its limits after driving it for more than an hour the hottest the temps got were about 165. I am really happy. Bypassing the radiator is the way to go! Trust me.

It worked for me. I just got my FLT level 3 tranny and new Vog 3200 about 2 months ago and the trans temperatures were still getting really hot. It does not hurt to run two coolers and bypassing the radiator.
