Tranny Cooler
What tranny cooler is everyone running out there? my truck is pretty much stock but the cooler that came from the donor looks like it got ran over by a steam roller... I'm not looking for a high end piece just well priced and efficient. thanks

That's a tube and fin cooler. I would never install one of those on something I wanted to cool. They work poorly, if at all.
You need a stacked plate design. The way to tell the difference is that a bad cooler has one tube that snakes back and forth. A stacked plate has two tubes, one on each side (or top and bottom) and many plates that connect them. This has much less restriction and MUCH better cooling.
A cooler for a 2003-2007 6.0L truck is the best trans cooler you can get.

OK guys, sorry to butt in, butt could i use an hvac coil and plumb it inline to cool the trans? I've got 4 commercial units that were working (no leaks) but the crew was gonna toss them. i believe they are 20' x 20' with a 3/8 copper coil. if so, i would be happy to take photos and send them to who ever can use them.

Now if you had a 20"x20" (20 inch x 20 inch) cooler and it is a stacked plate design it should work.

What about one like this? I'm already ordering the core support mounting kit from them so it would be nice to get it all in one order
B&M Transmission Cooler, 9,800 BTU
Or do I need a bigger one? Again it's a stock truck except efuel and hp crossover for now atleast
