Just to back-track a little bit; Did we ever distinguish which line to was better to tap into? The top return line was the first choice however throughout the thread some have been saying the bottom would be better to cut and send the hot oil into our aux cooler and then to the factory cooler.....?
Which one shall I tap into tomorrow when i install my cooler?
Thanks!

Based on that, B&M's instructions and other posts here, I tapped the top line.

Just got done installing my trans cooler! Went with the Hayden brand available at pretty much any auto parts store. It's a little bigger
( 3/4x11x11 5/8x 9 1/2 ) than the B&M and cheaper! Part # 679 and I made mounting brackets and got another 5 ft of hose just to be safe since I went out on each side...

Hey guys, I know this thread is getting into a lot deeper information now from the first post. Can anyone tell me if the info from the OP still is accurate? I want to install mine in the next few days.
Also, best transmission fluid to have available?

What info were you referring to?
On late model Jeep stuff, I prefer going to the dealer and getting the factory fluid. It just makes me feel more warm and fuzzy.
