tranny coolers what are you guys runnin?

U can usually get one of the ford exploder units from the jy for 10$ I have a couple around just for that next project. They are a stacked plate type and work great.

finally got it all together. bracket welded installed, then when i was making the lines it was too close to where they would go through the radiator support. so i had to move it over to the passenger side. lol

I used aluminum hard line, with XRP aluminum -AN fittings, which take a 37* single flare that you have to make PERFECT! they connect to a bulkhead fitting, then from there I will use braided flex line to the tranny...

Doesn't putting the trans cooler in front of the radiator add heat to the radiator and degrade its effectivness?

What kind of sleeve did you put over the black braided stainless? I'm assuming it's some sort of heat shield.

I'm planning to do this mod myself soon (switching from steel hard lines to braided stainless for the cooler lines), but plan to run the lines completely away from the headers so hoping I won't have a heat/melt issue?
