Transmission Coolers

[Krusher]

I am considering installing the trans cooler from BC Broncos using braided line and terminating the hard lines from the C-4 for a number of reasons. My question is, would the stand alone cooler with fan provide adequate cooling without the radiator in line as well? Also, would I expect to see a marked difference in engine temperature running the tranmission fluid through it's own cooler?

Thanks

On the first question, yes, you can run a tranny cooler by itself and not through the radiator. Been running mine like that for 2 years.

On the second question, you probably won't notice a difference in the engine running temp unless you move the tranny cooler completely away from the radiator and ran an electric fan on the tranny cooler itself.

8) 8) 8) The offroad book had a story about that back in the late 70's and they fabed a box and put the cooler in it with a elect. fan two ends were open on the box and they said it worked very well it was placed in the wheel well out of the way food for thought good luck. : : : Bill 8) :

Exactly what I was thinking. I'm probably going to fab up some brackets to located under the body and use a skid plate of sorts, to keep it protected from stones/mud/rocks.
