I have aquired this radiator for a very very reasonable price. Problem is it doesn't have an automatic tranny cooler . What are my options other than a different radiator. I am going to run an AOD. Can I just run it through 1 or 2 good quality tranny coolers or do the lines have to run through the radiator coolers? If the tranny coolers would work I was thinking of installing them in a frame with an electric fan to cool them in the rear of the truck under the box where everyone installs their gas tanks. This is so I have more room in the front for the A/C condensor. If theres room I could install 1 on each side of the grill up in front of the rad too. Let me know your thoughts on this.

 

I ordered my rad without a cooler... plan on using a frame mounted cooler... the round one with fins that run end to end.... any of the trailer or RV places can hook you up with an external cooler w/wo the fan option... nothing but your Visa is the limit

you can do what you said will work just fine

 

Thats good to know. Now once the mastercard quits smoking and becomes solid enough to run through a credit card machine again I will start looking into it.
Seriously I am glad it will work this way. I bought a soundbar for the roll bar in my jeep and this rad for a hundred bucks. The rad was only used for about 20 hours when buddy hit a pole with his hotrod. Thanks for the good news.

 

I have my C6 running through 2 stacked plate style coolers and It barely registers on the trans temp gauge. The tube and fin style ones don't cool as well as the stacked plate ones.
