Trans cooler question
Does the Radiator have a dual core coolant/trans? I looked under the runner and saw the fluid lines running to the bottom of it.
Is this good enough for towing or is another cooler recommended? I will be towing a uhaul 6x12 trailer later this month and want to make sure its ready to roll.
Thanks,
Jeff

Tranny cooler is a must unless that trailer won't be loaded with anything and you are just driving around the corner. You can just grab one at Napa or somewhere and have it on in under an hour.

An extra in-line tranny cooler or even a bypass cooler is ideal for towing and or regular driving.

I got mine from Derale. It's run in series with the radiator cooler and a remote filter with an oversized K&N filter. adds another quart of tranny fluid to the whole system. I run around 180 degrees pulling a 2000 pound boat.
