Tru Cool cooler
my trans hit 220 one time on the interstate and ever since i have been afraid of getting it to hot. I have been doing some scrap metal and on day that OAT was around 50-60F i seen temps from 140-150 pulling the trailer was 6000lbs loaded that includes the trailer itself. I got a tru cool cooler for 28,000lbs. not the max one is this one just as good?

Were you pulling a hill when it got to 220* with a load ? I have never been that hot on the freeway with my truck, even pulling a mountain pass.. You might a something else going on to bring the temps up that high..The only time I get up around 200* is pulling a load thru town, with stop and go thru stop lights, using 1st and 2nd gear alot.. and the torque converter working extra hard..

I have seen temps that high with mine. But that was snowplowing a lot, so no air movement. I now have an electric fan sucking air thru my larger cooler, havent had any problems since then. When it starts to get hot plowing I flip the switch and watch the gauge go down. Also change my fluid about every 20,000.

Yes, PHP can change the calibrations for the valve body. Just be aware that the only thing the valve body will do for you is mechanically increase the flow rates through the valve body instead of doing it electrically with increased pressure.
EDIT:
Oh, and the new switches are $25 each plus shipping.

You'd have to get it through us (or another TS dealer). Simple plug/play.
The valve body doesn't strengthen the transmission, it just alters shift feel by mechanical means and larger orifices rather than just raising pressure to get the same flow.

Any "shift kit" is just going to alter transmission pressures (although without actually modifying the orifices IN the valve body).
To strengthen the transmission, you actually have to get into the actual power-flow hard parts....the parts that actually have to withstand the power.

would a TC lockup switch help anything just looking for small mods right now the bank has run dry. How hard would it be? The reason im asking is bc sometimes in town around 38-40mph i can see the tach move up and down likes its locking and unlocking.
