Tranny cooler( ATO to WTO) swap

[Diezel Dawg]

Ok guys here is what i think i have learned. I have been told that my tranny cooler is an Air to oil cooler(not acceptable) and i am considering changing it out to a Water to Oil cooler(what i really need). With the temps in the 80-90s here in Wyoming and probably going to be warmer in Spokane when i move, my tranny runs very close to 200, creeping up to 210 on occasion just driving around town. How difficult is it to swap it out and what all would i need to do?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

i dont live in that area, but i installed this tranny cooler Transtar Tranny Oil Cooler Install along with my stock one and i dont see 180 ever, and it gets in the high 90's here too

Cool, i just hate it when i see my tranny temp creep above 200* Im looking at getting a BTS in about a year or so, but i dont want my stock tranny to go out before because of overheating. 120,000 miles on it so far.

If you want to delete it, just install a new 6.0 or the biggest aftermarket you can get and abandon the old one... Hell mine is not even plugged...

what kind of temps are you running Joe?? You still going to TruckFest???

I'm thinking not this year... with the selling the house and buying a new one... I am kinda busy... I still might make it but its slim...

I run no more then 150-180 pulling hard... Built tranny but still

Is the 6.0 Tranny cooler pretty straight up with install?? What all does it entail?

^^^^^ there is a write-up in the current diesel power mag about swapping the 6.0 Tranny cooler - although I haven't seen it myself (was told it was in there by a friend that owns a cummins) to tell you how detailed it is???
