Radiators & HELP!

no you dont need a different radiator to convert. all you need is as transmission cooler. it looks kind of like a small radiator, but it only has trans fluid running through it. they cost about $50 for a good one. get the largest one you can afford. your trans will thank you.

If the aftermarket cooler is your only option, then go for it, but a cooler in the radiator is actually better in the winter, as it actually warms the fluid for better operation. Find a good radiator shop in your area, and I bet they can take your tank off your existing radiator and install a cooler from another they have laying around.
