Which trans line to use
I am installing a Tru-Cool Max with bypass, which line from the trans is trans out and which is the return? Anyone have install tips or pics? should I use the max in conjunction with the my other cooler or as a standalone unit?

The front line is pressure and fluid returns to the rear. One cooler is enough and two may be to much of a restriction. You could always use the old one as a replacement of the sorry power steering cooler.

I put a max and a hayden cooler on, you think that's to much of a restriction? I also put a temp gauge sensor in the pressure line. Now you have me wondering but I've had it that way for years with good results.

I install the tru cool inline before the heat exchanger in the radiator tank, I also install the thermal bypass. this way your trans can get up to operating temperature quicker. I also run the pressure line in the bottom port and the return out the top port, this prevents air entrapment in the cooler.

Have never seen the need for 3 coolers. (2 air, 1 liquid).
Gives it another possible place to leak.
The use of 4X4 low on the beach in summer makes more of a heat load
than towing at max load down the road. I have used electric fan for 4X4 low summer use with the one air cooler. If i did a 2nd air cooler i would plumb it in parallel with the first air cooler. I would not plumb in series.
