Remote Mount Tranny Cooler Mounting Help

[mountainview68]

I bought a Derale stacked plate tranny cooler with a cooling fan attached to it. It would fit perfectly on the passenger side fender well, but I am concerned about the heat in the engine compartment. What do the think??? Any advice would be great.

I just put mine on the drivers fenderwell. I don't see a problem mounting where you are thinking. With the fan going it gets plenty of air. I also raised mine another inch via some nylon spacers I got at Home Depot. Had to do this so the lines would clear the windshield washer res.

The reason I mounted mine on the drivers side is because I have my ARB compressor, module for ignition, RS9000 air block and remote transmission filter on the passenger side.

I have ceramic headers and plan to get a cowl hood but still don't want mine in the engine bay. I'm getting the same Derale cooler but it's going under the passenger seat floorboard like a few other members and I'll fab up a vented skid plate to protect it from the rocks.

i've installed 2 of them under the bed in front of the rear tank crossmember between the frame rails. both seem to cool just fine.

I mounted my Derale cooler on the inner fender well and that has worked
out well. I don't have a tranny temperature gauge, but I my tranny has
not puked fluid and the fluid still smells good.

Mine is mounted on the passenger side fender, I cut a hole in the fender and have it baffled to keep "STUFF" out and still have GREAT air flow. Check out the photos. Spent last weekend playing in the mud and the baffle did it's job.

Awesome idea and very clean job. I am just about to mount a tranny cooler and will be doing something very similar.

hahaha...you beat me to the baffle (haven't had time let). But mine is there also w/o issue.

Hotwheels -

Looking at your picture, do you have your tranny fluid running through both the aux system and through the radiator?

thanks,

yes...it is in the return line. Rad helps the tranny warm up and the fan maintains the right temp.

Mine is mounted under the driver's seat where the aux tank used to be. It's way up out of the way and works great.

That engine bay is "WAY" to clean. It must be a "before" picture ;D
