trans cooler
trans cooler
so recently i put a trans temp gauge on my 01 5.4 and ive noticed things that were making the trans overheat(or coming close to) that make me want better cooling, it has the factory tow package. i was thinking of replacing the factory aux cooler with one of these http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
usualy when it gets hot its when im moving slow so i figured this would help, but should i replace the factory aux or ad to it? i think replacing it would be a neater install but will it work good

A cooler with a fan is obviously better than a cooler without a fan. But first of all, how high are your temps getting? I have the B&M Hi-Tek on my truck. Also consider getting a Mag Hytec transmission pan. They are deeper, have cooling fins, and a magnetic drain plug.

Solid cooling power from B&M.
Keeping fluid temperatures down is a really great way to minimize wear and tear, and to prolong the life of expensive powertrain components. One of the best ways to give your engine and transmission that protection is with B&M's fan-equipped Hi-Tek SuperCoolers. These efficient coolers are built with B&M's favored fin-and-plate construction to handle tough cooling jobs, and they have built-in mounting brackets to make installation easier. On top of that, they're fitted with high-quality, 12 V, high-flow fans that are controlled by a thermal switch, which activates them automatically when fluid temperatures reach specified levels. These rugged coolers are pressure-tested to 200 psi and can be used on RVs, race cars, and high performance street vehicles.
