I am bringing my 2010 JKU in for a state inspection and am considering have them put in a external tranny cooler. Any thoughts on what this should run me? I would easily do this myself but the last thing I want is the tranny to overheat and they point to the tranny cooler (that I would have installed) and say "Warranty is void!"
I had tried a while back to get them to bite on the TSB for "international vehicles only" that dealt with adding a tranny cooler but that did not work. They wouldn't go for it.
The last I spoke with one of the guys, he said not to worry. If it breaks, its covered under warranty. My view is that the warranty won't help me when I am stranded on the beach due to an overheated tranny and the tide is coming in!
Thanks everyone!

X2 on self installing, it isn't very difficult.
But before you run out and buy one, do a search on the J30 Recall. There was a software upgrade due to a lot of overheating issues. Several people posted that their dealerships installed a cooler for free under that (or a similar?) bulletin. Can't hurt to mention it to your dealership and see what they say.
There is also a new notification (L05) about leaking cooler lines. Wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and have them checked at the same time.
