speaking of tranny coolers, i have always heard that you should run the biggest rated one you can fit/afford. is this true? i have been considering getting a b&m cooler for awhile but can't deside if i should get the 19,000lb or the 24,000lb gv. for my truck. i can fit both and there is only a $5 difference.

can you have too much cooling?

i'm not really sure. i looked into it to put in mine but it was so expensive I decided to stick with my C6. when it goes i will be getting a Zf though! so i don't know the exact details. sorry man

only if there is such a thing as too much money can there be too much cooling

To All: Thanks for the advice,

To 94F140-408: Thanks for tip on the threads on the Autometer.

Re: the additional trans cooler(s). I've been reading that the E4OD is particularly sensititve to low pressure and the wrong cooler config will cause shift problems. This is supposed to be especially so when running a Banks Trans Command (which I have). Anyone have any comments?

I've often wondered about the huge tubes they run the fluild through in the standard tranny coolers and the possible drop in pressure. Most of the stacked plate design maintain a internal line size similar to that of your existing cooler lines, seems like this would be a preferred method just for that reason.
