Oil cooler hookup question
I just got a new radiator, and now I have an oil cooler hookup goin through the rad. Is there a kit to hook one of these up? Right now the 2 holes are just taped off. Any suggestions? Thanks

...But if you Do have an auto tranny, definitely use the trans cooler. In fact, use it in tandem with a large aftermarket trans cooler that mounts in-front of the rad. It will save your tranny on hot days and when hauling heavy loads. For auto trannys, heat = DEATH!

All,
The can of worms has been opened!!!
When using a supplemental trans cooler, which one do you pipe to first? the radiator or the aftermarket tranny cooler?
The atomspheric air is 30F to 100F.
The radiator fluid is probably 160F exiting the radiator.
What next?

Here's my guess:
The radiator is designed to deliver fluid at the correct temp.
Go through the aftermarket cooler first and through the radiator second to reheat in case you've overcooled.
