[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:23:27 09/13/02 Fri In reply to: HenryJ 's message, "Tranny cooler" on 16:49:45 09/13/02 Fri Here's the puzzle: (bear in mind that I think I have already made up my mind) #1:When installing a trans. cooler the most transmission cooling can be achieved by adding the aux. cooler after the radiator in the return line to the transmission. Pros-This way heat is dissipated to the coolant and cooled further by the aux. cooler. Cons- The transmission will take longer to warm up and there will be no reduction in the transfer of heat to the engine cooling system. #2: Installing the aux. cooler in the supply line before the radiator. Pros-the precooled fluid transfers less heat to the engine coolant, and will be heated by the coolant for a quicker warm-ups in cold weather. Cons-Aux. cooler will be hotter pre-heating the airflow entering the radiator behind it. Gm's Helm manual shows the aux. cooler in the supply line coming from the transmission to the radiator (example #2) The directions with my cooler show after the radiator in the return line to the transmission. (example #1) Which way is the best for our trucks? Need opinnions! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
