tranny coolers

I was looking on ebay and there seems to be quite a few tranny coolers at better prices than at retail stores. Can y'all give me some brands that are acceptable for my 97 F350 PSD dually?

Thanks

This is the only way to go IMO:

I have nothing but praise for mine. I installed it a few months back and it has made a HUGE difference in my tranny temps. Pretty easy install.

Does your old one come off first? Does it cause your engine temps to rise any because it's in front of th radiator?

I threw the OEM cooler in the trash can as it is just about worthless. My tru-cool is mounted centered in front of the engine radiator. You will be quite impressed with the drop in temps. My addition was hardly optional as I live out here in New Mexico and have been having 100 deg days for a while now. I just had my tranny rebuilt a few months ago and want to make it last longer. You will not at all be disappointed with this cooler.

I removed the OEM cooler and installed that one in it's place. If you live in a cold climate you should opt for the thermal break (thermostat) or your tranny may not get up to operating temp. I have the therm and my tranny gets up to 175 within 3-5 miles....and stays there, even under big towing loads.
