Auto Trans Cooler

Anyone using the 10,000lbs auto, trans cooler from Napa? What kind of results are you having with it?

get a bigger one.....I've got the Ultra Cool, and I'm not sure what the rating is......but I believe it's like 60,000? Get the biggest one you can! They aren't much more expensive, and it's money well spent

The Trucool 4739 Max is also a 40k cooler vs the 10k Napa.

Tru-Cool is definitely the most popular, but the results are the same......they are both effective. The Ultra Cool has pretty much the exact same specs and it's about $80 cheaper

Hayden Ultra Cool (tube and fin Design) is rated 26k. Hayden Transaver Plus is rated 30k. These were the largest I have seen in these models.

Honestly.....I think the BD Cooler is better then the Ultra Cool, Tru Cool or the Hayden, it's got a built in fan

Thanks for all the replays, I actual already have a BD Cooler mounted under the truck on the right side. My trans temp run 160F to 185F on a 85F day. Pulling my 5th wheel it will run average 185F on the freeway but when pulling at slow speeds up the dirt mtn roads it will get up to 200F to 250F. It really scares me when it gets in the higher temps. I think I will move the BD Cooler behind the grill to get more air flow through it.

Once you move that BD cooler up front......you won't have any cooling problems at all, save your money for another mod!
