E4OD Trans Cooler Upgrade
My E4OD overheats and belches fluid out of the converter shaft seal when I am making long slow climbs off road. It occassionally spikes at about 215-225 on long slow highway grades when towing.
It came with a factory trailer tow package and a plate type OEM heavy duty cooler (I think it's a Long Tru-Cool). I installed an Autometer trans temp guage at the pressure test fitting in the housing just above the pan on the left side. I guess that means I'm reading the fluid temp in the pan after the cooler and not as it exits the converter before the cooler.
I'm contemplating installing a 40K GVW Long Tru-Cool Max or a switchable Hayden electric fan infront of the factory cooler.
I would appreciate any advice on this matter including any installation tips.
Thanks JQ
