Auto Zone transmission coolers

I was looking at auto zone and saw they have some heavy duty transmission coolers and was wondering if anyone have tried them?

Also what is the difference between ones with super cool and without?

Thanks

I have a 2000 F250 7.3L 4x4 Auto trans mostly used for plowing and pulling trailers.

look to see what GVW the cooler is rated for, I just installed a Tru-Cool 40,000 GVW cooler. it was the largest I could find without spending top dollar for a 6.0 cooler.
Get the biggest you can find.
Here is the one I got: transmissioncoolers.us: Tru-Cool MAX transmission cooler *No external cold weather thermal bypass
You may want one with the thermal bypass if your up north.
Im not familliar with auto zone coolers.

I have the same cooler that Frank has, and it does a good job. I don't know about the other coolers you are talking about.

Rick, was Brian Ok with that? I know I'm going to need something, but the cost of the tranny is more than enough right now with out adding another $450 for him to install a 6.0 cooler...

I told Brian before I went, that I had the Tru-cool cooler and he said that cooler was fine. This is where I got mine. LINK
