Aftermarket/Decent tranny cooler

TheRedneckDrummer · 03-24-2012, 07:57 PM

My stock one is leaking pretty bad. Should I just install another stock one orrr whats your guys's opinions?

**Ewgoetz** · 03-24-2012, 08:16 PM

Depends how much work your willing to do. Go with a stock one and its bolt in. Go with a aftermarket larger one than you will ahve to fab some brackets up to make it fit. A bigger aftermarket one would be better.

The B&M Supercooler is a fine trans cooler.

**Seattle FSB** · 03-25-2012, 12:31 AM

That is what I am using, a B&M Racing 29,200 BTU Transmission Oil Cooler (11x11x1.5)(PN 70274). Add in a Perma-Cool Remote Transmission Oil Filter Mount (PN 10678) and a WIX Transmission Fluid Filter (PN 51622) why you are at it.

Stacked-plate coolers are the best.

Get a stock one from a newer truck in the JY if you don't want to drop the loot for a new aftermarket.

TheRedneckDrummer · 03-25-2012, 01:55 AM

Any good dealers or brands in mind?
And SeattleFSB, how much did those run you up if you dont mind me askin

**Seattle FSB** · 03-25-2012, 02:11 AM

The cooler is about $93.00 and the filter mount is about $60.00. See Summit, Jegs, B&M or Perma-Cool. The oil hose is specific or spend the money and go braided stainless steel like I did.

TheRedneckDrummer · 03-25-2012, 11:39 PM

How much better is the B&M Supercooler over a stock one? 50 bucks isnt bad and Im interested in it

Steve83 · 03-26-2012, 01:02 AM

Not enough to notice. If you're towing the truck's max trailer weight through Death Valley in June with the cruise set at 80mph, you probably still couldn't measure a difference in the 2 coolers' performance.

Seattle, did you upgrade to 3/8ths lines all the way back to the e4od. I have the same parts waitting to go on a rig, but I don't know if I want to bottle neck the 1/2" cooler and 3/8" t-stat/filter on a 5/16th line. If you upgraded to 3/8ths lines, did you have to put 5/16" fittings for the e4od and radiator onto the new lines, is that possible or did you use some kind of adapter?

Thanks bud.

**Seattle FSB** · 03-26-2012, 04:34 AM

Sort of. All are -6 AN lines which are equivalent to 3/8". Everything is using adapter fittings to -6 AN as they make a better connection. There is almost any kind of hydraulic adapter fitting you can think of available. See this link: BillaVista Tech Garage Plumbing Bible

Interesting... Thanks Steve

**GetBent4x4** · 03-27-2012, 05:59 PM

Thanks bud, bookmarked. I need to get this truck done!!

Hey Seattle-How did you attach the lines as they went along the body? Do they have special retainers or fasteners? I replaced my hard lines but just went with standard rubber transmission hose. I have the stock trans plate cooler and a Perma-cool aux filter too...

**cajunrebel** · 12-01-2012, 03:42 AM

These clamps do very well with the lines that SeattleFSB used for his transmission. Those lines are common on the fighter jets as are the clamps.

**Seattle FSB** · 12-01-2012, 02:03 PM

Thats what I used, along with a couple of zip ties.

**psychlopath** · 12-01-2012, 05:25 PM

those clamps are called adel clamps we use them a lot in the aviation field to keep fuel lines fron chaffing. I am pretty sure you can find them most places but theres a name for you.
