Trans Cooler?

[Lee]

so have we decided that tech on UY will officially start with


OPEN THE F-ING BOX!

We've all done stupid stuff like that.
It's like looking everywhere for your keys when you've been holding them in your hand.

Don't you just HATE that!!

Heck yes!!

I'll probably end up over-using it though :/

[Lee]

i was wondering also about flat mounting it to the rad...but (correct me if im wrong) but isnt the AC condensor in front of the rad? how do you get those anchor pads behind it? or do you go through both the AC condensor AND the radiator fins? flat mounting it seems better and less bulky than with brackets. PS cooler done with brackets on mine...but im stil kinda about mounting the tranny cooler, as it doesnt have any holes for bracket mounting..so i gotta flat mount it

I just mounted mine last week. Ill throw some pics up later. But it is quite a tight fit between the AC condensor and the center hood latch rail. Anyways once I put mine in I slid it over to the side to place the sticky foam pads onto each corner. Kinda a pain but it works. Then yes, the zip tie anchor thing goes all the way through both the condensor and radiator. You will need to cut them once installed as they interfere with the fan.

I just installed a Hayden 679 last week. It is a monster cooler, but it fits if you go almost perfectly centered on the condensor. It was VERY easy and took only about an hour (that is after I figured out the damn clips that hold the grill on ).

I plan on a Tranny Temp gauge in the next few weeks so I can really get an idea about how well the cooler is performing.... but as mentioned earlier, I dont think you can cool your tranny enough, especially if youre trail-runnin'!

DSN, I'll be curious what your tranny temps are after you mount the guage.
You're so right about never cooling the tranny fluid enough.

As fast as this board is moving, this thread will probably be buried 20 pages back by the time I get the sensor and gauge installed!
I will dig this thread up from the basement and update you all when I get the stats.
