3. I have one and am very happy with it. I opted for the thermal break (Thermostat). It gets the trany up to temp (175-180F) in 3-5 miles and stays there. I pulled over 20K and never saw 200F. If you decide use the therm option be sure to mark the ports on it permanently before you install it. The markings come off very easy when ATF eventually gets on it, then gets confusing.

All right I will definetly do the write up probably next week I put them on just arent wired yet. As for the trans cooler What difference does a fan make? Doesnt it continously circulate the fluid so it is constantly being cooled? Im not quite sure how they work I just know my tranny temps are all ready getting high so I need to do something before summer. And thanks for the input so far.

The cooler, as all finned coolers are, is dependent on an adequate air flow to carry off the excess heat (note the size of our cooling fan on the radiator). The problem I had with a load on the truck, crawling in the back country (2-4 mph) up steep dirt roads was that I couldn't move enough air across the cooler to keep temperatures in the 170 degree range. On the open road (where speeds are higher) the cooler, without a fan, was more than adequate. I suggested a fanned cooler due to my experiences in the back country of Nevada with a cooler that didn't have a fan and the delightful
