I wasn't trying to disparage anyone. I'm really curious ! He has valid points just like anyone. I just wanted to know what framework he is coming from. That's what I was trying to find out earlier. Civil engineer, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer. All will be coming from a different...

OK I'm curious now. What kind of engineer are you ?

You will loose the ability to help heat the transmission oil without the radiator in the loop, but it's your decision.

Your correct, though I wouldn't use a aftermarket seller to prove my point as they have a "personal" agenda ie: to sell products. The temp of the transmission is kepted pretty close to optimal by using the radiator cooling. If the fluid is cold then the radiator will warm it up. If it's too hot...

TRANSMISSION OIL COOLING SYSTEM BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The transmissions of many modern cars and trucks employ torque converters. Heat produced by the torque converter on the oil used to transmit power must be dispersed. A conventional method involves pumping the transmission oil through...

So we can safely say you are Not an engineer or a mechanic by trade then. All I'm saying is my experience of over 40 years as a "ASE Certified Master Mechanic" says otherwise to your learned opinion. But like "Skinny" says this is just a TH400, a 60 year old design. The reason they went to the...

This is how I have my truck setup. Since I removed my engine (I'll be honest, I hated that 6.2 engine ! ) and went with a Chevy 383 Hi-Torque I no longer needed the engine oil cooler in the radiator. So I routed my transmission lines to go there. Where the transmission lines used to go I routed...

Marcus, you seem to have some strong opinions on this. I'm curious, what do you do for a living ? Are you by chance an engineer ?

Your forgetting overheating the engine radiator part. Auto manufactures go for the most practical and economical way which usually is the best way. As far as quality of parts go that is another matter all together. There is also no way you will over cool a transmissions oil unless your in the...

There is no bypass on these coolers. The TH400 has no cooler loop either. It comes out of the torque converter and then to the cooler. This is also how we usually change-out the transmission fluid. After draining the pan and replacing the filter you would add about 8qts of fluid to the...

The way the factory installs them is really the best way. Why ? Because you will loose most of your transmission heat to the radiator cooler. It is the best conductor of heat after all, copper tubes next to water. The air flow through the aux cooler will not generally bring down the temperature...
