Tranny cooler upgrade
I want to get a bigger Transmission cooler, and was wondering if it would be better to get the Tru-Cool tranny cooler to add, or can the V10 style trans. cooler be fab'd to work on the OBS?

Both are very similar, I have the Tru-cool and very happy with tranny temps. Get rid the stock cooler, its crap. If you want go more get a 6.0 tranny cooler.

You probably didn't get the thermal bypass did you? also did everything come with the kit or did you have to buy extra part or make brackets?

I put the thermal bypass on mine. The only thing extra I had to buy was some 5/16 rubber trans line. Kit comes with 3/8 fittings, truck has 5/16 steel line. The 5/16 rubber line fits over the 3/8 fittings so that's what I did. Some have changed the steel lines on the truck to 3/8. I don't know how much u gain by that besides having the sizes match up correctly. Worked just fine this way, I'm not the only one who did it like this.

No I didnt get the thermal bypass, I dont needed it here in my country. And everything came with the kit, I just mod the stock brackets and made some new ones, and thats it.

I spoke with our tranny guru, Mark K. prior to upgrading mine and he indicated that the larger line upgrade was a worth while mod.
