If your pressure is good in your tranny, then that should work fine. Most overheating problems in C6's are due to a lack of pressure. (In my case anyway).

I'm running the biggest one hayden offers with an electric fan in the bed, but my situation is probably a little different then yours. My truck gets driven hardest at slow speeds, and I have no problem out of my setup.



That is without the electric fan mounted.

Here's a shot with the back taken off too show the size of the Cooler itself.

I know that seems like a crazy setup, but it does seem to work, and if your wondering why it's glued together, its because my a dog chewed a whole in my tig welding cable allowing water to run out. This project was on a weekend, and I was ready to get the truck going. It's been in there a year with no signs of fatigue though.

Sorry about this form of Hijack, I just thought it would be a good opportunity to show off some redneck lore.

I didn't know I chased it for months finally found the whole problem was low pressure due to a sector shaft that was broken in half...
