Transmission Cooler

Looking at either a 6.0 cooler or a tru-cool option for my 95 F350...in central Texas my tranny is running at 180 - 215 degrees without towing...so looking to add a better cooler and probably a bigger pan. Does anyone make a complete kit for a 95' or am I stuck buying the hardware and hoses as needed after I get the kit.

Get the 6.0 cooler and never worry about it again. I run temps what you do pulling 18k in my signature.

A bigger pan is a waste of money if you want to cool your trans. It's worth the money if you want it to make the underside of your truck pretty.

The 6l cooler is nice and I might have done it on mine. My intercooler placement however made that install impossible. I did the trucool and it is mounted to the back of the bumper.
i have had no temp issues after the trucool and am very happy.

I like mine too. You might have to modify the little metal piece between the bumper and the grill to allow for trans lines though.

Installed the Tru-Cool Max 40K Tuesday afternoon and the tranny runs much cooler....Maxed out at 150 degrees on a 100 degree central Texas day; before it would get up to 215 deg....it'll be a few more weeks before I'll be towing anything but I like the results so far...Install wasn't hard...took me about two hours (I'm slow)...was able to use the two mount points from the old cooler and added a 3rd mount point below so it doesn't rub or move around.
