Hey Moe i was out dropping the old radiator in position and realized, it doesn't accomodate an automatic tranny. No cooling. Are you running a manual tranny?

I'm running an Auto and an external Tranny cooler... I don't like just the internal coolers... On my 4x4 I ran both an internal and external, first it went thry the internal and then the external...

Oh ok, I didn't know that you could run an external tranny cooler only. I wasn't sure If it would do the job!
I submitted an offer on an aftermarket aluminum radiator. It has everything I need in the right locations..I talked to the wife about it and told her I get sick of trying to scab everything together ALL the time. She said "Well if it's what you need then order it!" So I didn't do a "BUY IT NOW" but I did a"SUBMIT BEST OFFER" we shall see what happens...It would be $300 all included. 250 offer and 50 shipping from MI.
Some others have used the same radiator here.
