Transmission Cooler
#531
Anyone know what size fittings the hose ends to the radiator are??? I would like to find a way to not cut the factory hoses and add the cooler. I like to do stuff the hard way for the following replies that say just hack the lines..LOL

Just as a matter of practice I would have the cooler working all the time, but I would save the fan till I was offroading, towing or climbing big hills.
You can get a transmission temp gauge to help you decide when to use the fan. Look at Aeroforce Interceptor gauges.

that makes sense the switch is a fan switch on a trans cooler when you are going slow and not moving enought air you turn it on. No need for highway driving, its just there for crawling around with no air flow..

Yeah they probably do have to account for the parts. Probably the area rep. checks them over.

Idiot Light?
I'm getting ready to add a trans cooler to my Jeep in the next month or so. In the mean time, I had a question about the idiot light... Is it an actual light on the instrument panel? or perhaps a warning that shows on the LCD? I have an 08 that was flashed for this, and yesterday I got a "ding" from the dash just like the one I get for low tire pressure, but nothing lit up. Any suggestions?

The ding you got for no apparent reason is probably the "mystery ding" that seems to be common to the JK.
