transmission cooler

I just added a tru-cool transmission cooler right behind the grill in front of the a/c condensor. It mounted fairly hight up so it gets lots of airflow. Do I have to worry about getting air out the lines and cooler?? I wouldn't think so but thought I had better ask.
Thanks

I would say no.. you are good to go..Do you have temp guage for the trans. ? What really runs the temps up is running in 1st and 2nd gears pulling a load.. say thru town.
Welcome to the forum..

Like Clint said you should be fine - Just add fluid to compensate for extra cooler

Here's how to get all the air out of the cooler: Start the engine. That's it. Done.
