Another 6.0 Trans Cooler Question...
I'm trying to upgrade my X's trans cooler to the 6.0L trans cooler. (My X is a 2000 Ltd V10).
Can someone advise me on the following:
> I've sent several messages and tried calling one of the highly recommended vendors on this site -- but have gotten no response. I've taken to searching the internet for a "turn-key" upgrade kit, but can't seem to find a good deal. Can anybody give me a tip on where to get a kit at a great price?
> I've read that if I upgrade the trans cooler, I ought to upgrade the trans pan, too, to allow the trans to work using more trans oil. I've found a supplier with a pan that increases the oil by 3.5 L or so... and the pan allows the installation of a trans temp sensor, too (which I think is a great idea). Do you guys/gals agree that a pan upgrade is a meaningful and effective thing to do? Or am I "gilding the lilly?"
Thanks.

X2 on saving your money on the new pan , it does nothing. You could call tousley ford which is one of the forum sponsors and get a price on the cooler. Also if you do a search on the forum there are lots of writeups on installing the new cooler. I used the factory lines from a 2004 superduty and modifyed them to work on my truck. I also installed a magnafine filter after my cooler because my cooler was used. I have some pictures of my install on the forum. If you cant find them let me know I will try to find them for you.
