The numbers are GVW, which stands for gross vehicle weight. The larger ones are actually made for motor homes. But they work perfectly for high stalled cars. I would seriously get the biggest you can find. Just make sure that it will fit where you want to put it. I put a 28K gvw in my car.
BOSS APPROVED! The cooler temps and longer warm up time will not hurt anything , The PCM monitors fuild temperature and modifes the presure and shift quaility accordingly.As far as the added warm up time from the PCM perspective your drivng in alaska lol and its just takes a bit longer to get warm , It dosent know the difference.

Tranny -> stock cooler -> aftermarket cooler -> tranny
But there's always some wannabe genius who doesn't understand the air/water, air/air efficiencies, and says to avoid the stock cooler. But that makes no sense. When sitting still in traffic, I want the air/water cooler's help for sure.
yea - the instructions tell you to use the factory cooler in series with the B&M unit. i installed mine yesterday - it was very easy.
i used a couple self tapping screws into the lip of the radiator support. it's pretty sturdy there, and gets plenty of air through the front bumper cover.
