I just installed my tranny cooler. Adavance auto parts for $54.00. Took about an hour. My trans temp went from an average of 195 degrees to 152 degrees. Huge difference & great write up.

Are the benefits of the trans cooler limited to autos or would 6-speeds benefit as well?

The 6 speed has no oil pump, no plumbing, and the fluid doesn't overheat.

Followed the write up and all went great,
Just hasn't been hot enough to put it to the test.

Thanks

My B&M worked GREAT during my first big trip pulling a 19' trailer. Had a few climbs that tested the cooler and it didn't let me down. The gauge never got above 160 degrees, even when I forgot to take O/D off. DOH! When I realized it was on, I turned it off and the temp dropped right back down. Although 160 really isn't that hot so I was never in any danger. Big thumbs up to B&M

Thanks for the write up, installed mine today. I thought it odd that the B&M kit was so complete yet it was short two hose clamps. Regardless the install was easy thank to the write up.

I'm about to install a B&M supper cooler 70268 on my 2010 JKU... Question: has anyone has any pressure leaks at the connections over time?

Just checking before I cut?

I had done this mod over 3 yrs ago and never had a leak. You should be fine.

I recently noticed that the lines I cut for the new tranny cooler are fine but the remaining factory line is leaking/weeping. Its not a lot but its def something that I want to fix what do you guys think would be the best way of going about this? Its coming from the factory flange but I know that they aren't going to touch it at the dealership since I modified the rest of the system. Any ideas?
