transmission cooler

[george.ratliff]

i was told by a buddy of mine that i will probably need a new transmission cooler when i go back out to Missouri towing my other truck.

im getting gauges to monitor the temp seeing how the truck has 300000 miles on it.

do you guys think a new tranny cooler would be of use or should i not bother spending the 200 or so dollars for it?

anyone have any advice?

no one has any input?

Another trans cooler is only going to keep the trans fluid colder. It won't hurt nothing but your wallet a bit. I have three on my truck, my trans never gets hot.

I do suggest you get the external filter removed if you have one. They like to clog up, create resistance in the fluid flow.

The tru-cool coolers are very nice. Cost $120. In addition to the stock cooler,these should keep the temps in check. http://www.dieselsite.com/index.asp?...ROD&ProdID=205

I have heard that you can use a 6.0 cooler on the 7.3 trucks as a up grade.
