Dual transmisson coolers

Is this possible or would this be to much restriction? I was thinking the normal cooler up front and a fan operated cooler on the frame rail somewhere. The truck does a lot of stop and go towing and it heats the trans up quick.


Any other opinions ???

Thanks guys
Steve

I run a 62 pass trans cooler out of a Army HMMWV and it flowed fine.

I currently have a 6.0 cooler on the truck. It cools down just fine once u get going for a while but towing in the city it doesn't get enough air flow that's why I was thinking a fan operated one but was now sure about flow restrictions

I don't think it would be too much of a restriction. Its a fairly heafty pump on the trans so it shouldn't have a problem.

I didn't think it would hurt it. Just take a little more fluid. I just like hearing peoples opinions on here first so I don't make the same mistakes as others lol

Now any recommendations on fan coolers ?

Thanks
