Trans Cooler

[ONE BAD EXCURSION]

Next week I am going to install a 40k trans cooler. Should I leave the factory cooler on or take it off.

Hey bud leave that one in there 2 it helps as well as the 2nd one does I have 2 on my truck with a cooling fan on the 2nd one.

Leave it there and put your new cooler in line after the factory cooler.

Hey strokin early 99 whats a good T/C to buy I have the john woods valve body is precsion T/C anygood

[strokin_early_99]

I would buy a JW T/C if it were me. But then again, I have one and it is awesome. Call and talk to John, he might have a couple of options for you depending on your mods and future goals....

However you will probably find that John will say to stay with the stock convertor until it dies since a billet convertor takes more oil and if you put one on without modding the pump, it will starve the trans of oil and kill it real fast.

I personally don't like the PI convertors, I am a Ford guy.

ok i talked to him about it if i did his t/c i would do the new pump in the tranny has well one other thing should i change my pcm in my truck to a later year truck i have a eary 99 and tony wildman told me i should go to a later year cause its easier to program the chip he said so i dunno he said do a PMT 1 or NVk

Thanks for the info. Didn't know if running another cooler would effect the line pressure or not.

John did not worry about it on my set up. Must not be a problem or he would have taken it off when he built my trans.
