e40d - Aux cooler install?
Couple questions. Tranny has been heating up rather quickly when driving.
I let it idle for about an hour or so this morning in 70*+/- ambient temp. My tranny got up to about 140*+/-
But I was hitting 190-220* fairly quickly with no load within 10 miles. Did a drain, filter and installing a 8 pass aux cooler to replace the 2 pass stock one.
My question is should I leave the rad cooler in line or bypass the rad cooler? Does anyone have tranny temps to support their setup?
Thanks,
BTW I have a full ZF swap with Southbend that I will be installing Just not looking t start now!

*IF* the radiator cooler is not plugged it should stay in the circuit. It is a very efficient cooler. If you remove it you will lose a lot of cooling capacity, which is not what you want to do.

That's is kinda what I was thinking.
FU question: On a moderate ambient temp day say 90-95* what type of temp rise should I see in the tranny fluid? Assuming I have no load and am not racing around.
Just to give me an idea for comparison!
Thanks,
Again

Well my truck barely will off the cold mark so I am pretty sure the fan is good.
I put the cooler on with the rad in line still heats up. Tried without the rad in line still heats up. So I ripped it all out to do the ZF swap . I have no patience. Any body need an new 8 pass tranny cooler? $50 from O'riely used 1 hour $35
I have the stock cooler
8 pass
tranny lines in good shape
auto tranny harness
and a E40d that will need something(probably a soft rebuild, pump? and TQ Converter?)
If any body is interested.
