Cool tranny!

FYI...
With my 6.0L tranny cooler coupled to the Trucool 4739 cooler my temps
have yet to exceed 176F(as measured by Autoenginuity) while towing the
9000lb TT in humid 85F temps heading uphill(short steep hill) with T/C unlocked.
Looking to put it thru worst situations but previously with the stock setup
i would hit about 230F. On highway at 70mph i ran 150F plus or minus a few degrees stock was around 200F.

Looks like you are getting the same result with your Trucool 4739 cooler that I'm getting with my Hayden cooler.
Returning home today from camping, pulling the Gearbox, 92 degs outside with a 102 heat index, I ran 65 mph for 2 hours, tranny temp was at a cool 160 degs. before the 2nd tranny cooler i would see 220 easy and would pull over to let it cool down. Ain't it nice to worry about trans temps anymore.
