[QUOTE="NEVRNF, post: 53283, member: 709"] Something to consider. When you run the trans fluid through the radiator you will be heating the fluid to match the coolant temp. In low speed operation there is little airflow to aid in cooling. I have 2 trucks, my early 99 and my Ex. The 99 has NO radiator cooler and just a 6.0. I have towed 20k with this setup and never had heat issues or saw temps over 165*. This truck runs 120* empty all summer long and in the winter unless i am plowing and the radiator is packed with snow it never gets hotter. this truck has a local rebuilt trans and a low budget converter. The Ex has a BTS,6.0 and a radiator cooler. This trans has been in 2 truck over its life of 10 years and has always run close to radiator temp. The trans temp is always right around 200-220 in traffic in the summer. When Brian went through it 3 years ago there were NO signs of heat related wear after 7 years of use with these temps. Generally i agree with the 100* over outside rule. I have tried running the Ex with and without the radiator cooler I still get the same temps in traffic But the temp will drop quicker without the radiator cooler once i get moving compared to with.
