Trans fluid path question.

What is the flow of the transmission fluid? When it goes through this cooler, is it on its way back to the trans or headed away from it at this point?

Yes. Gassers are air-to-oil diesels are water(coolant)-to-oil (secondary cooling system)

Since you are deleted you have lots of capacity to keep the trans / fuel / CA cool as they are the only 3 other things on this system.

Sweet. Thanks. I just ASSumed that this truck had two like the older trucks. Was gonna do a flush like I use to do on the 7.3s (crack a line, watch fluid, when good flow stops, have someone immediately shut off truck, fill with equal amount I have in bucket, repeat till fresh pink fluid comes out). The trans cooler is in an ideal spot to do this. That's why my question was asked originally. Thought there were two.
