Trans cooler help
Hey guys, I have been lurking for a while and this is my first post.
I am installing a Tru Cool Max cooler on my 2000 F-250. I had researched this and was told the return line going to the rear of the transmission came off of the drivers side of the cooler. Well, it looks like the return line comes off the passenger side on mine.
I have already installed the cooler, run the hoses and have everything ready to hook up. Will there be any problems running the fluid through the new cooler first then back through the OEM cooler before it returns to the tranny? I can switch the hoses around but this will reverse the flow through the OEM cooler.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
thanks

first, if you have a cooler in the radiator you do not want it hooked up that way. it should go from the trans (front port) to the cooler in the rad., than to the stock cooler, than to the tru-cool, then back to the trans (rear port). second if you do not have a cooler in the rad. than it would be best to run it through the stock cooler first than to the tru-cool because the tru cool will see cooler air (provided you mounted in front of eveything) than the stock cooler which sits between the a/c condensor and the intercooler.
