Transmission Cooler

I used a BIG one
My cooler is for a 26,000 lb gross vehicle weight. It covers my condenser completely. I've had it in for a year, NO problems or issues. The a/c still cold as ever, the engine temp hasn't changed at all, and the tranny Likes it....

Hey all!
I too will be doing this mod. I added some flow directions to the photos. For the less mechanically inclined like myself it may prevent some poor plumbing haha. Can someone confirm that I got the photos correct?

I am just old school. I don't like a lot of rubber hose in the system.
EDIT: Please accept my apology. It has been a while since I made this mod. The TOP line in the transmission is the RETURN line, not the supply line, like I said above. You need to use the RETURN line because this still incorporates the factory cooler in the system FIRST, which is the best way. I apologize again for my mistake. I'm not a good artist, but if you need a diagram of how to run the lines, I'll be glad to scribble somethin up.

I've been using the same thing, ultimately
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH LINE YOU USE
The xmission oil, doesn't know any difference, when using an aux. cooler !!!

The important thing is to followthe MFG info !!!!
The Xmission oil doesn't care if it's going thru the PRIMARY or AUX cooler first, BUT
You have to make sure the oil flow direction, is from the top of cooler down
Some coolers MFG show the AUX cooler mounting, so oil flows side to side
Just follow the MFG sayso !!

Ok I changed the photos.
Based on all the info here this should be correct!
I found the write up confusing as to which direction the lines flow.
Thanks for the help folks
