Improving the 7.3 transmission cooler

[rammertide07]

Thanks man. So I can splice another cooler into the line somewhere?

I dont know that I would run 3 tranny coolers, but relocating a single cooler should not be an issue.

I wouldnt run 3, I am just interested in splicing another 1 into the line. What would be your concern with an extra cooler? If it best that I just redo the one cooler, I gotta get that big ranch hand bumper off somehow....I don't live close to any relatives that can help and people from work are on average 20yrs older than me...so dont really socialize with any of them. It would be a little while before I could get to do that then. Right now local weather mpstemps are in the -70/+60 and my highway temps have gotten to 120-140. And high temps normally get to 110-120 in this area. Thanks

My concern with having a too many coolers would be the restriction they create. The transmission pump needs a healthy supply of oil, and a restricted cooler can cause numerous issues. I am not experienced enough to know if the extra cooler will cause you any issues, but I would avoid it if you can.

I dont see why you have to pull your bumper to change the cooler, you should have plenty of room to pull the intercooler out by removing header panel and the radiator support "cross-member".

Worth a shot.....

180 is about the caution area...I dont want to get that high.

What are you running (truck model? Mods?) Fill in your sig at the User CP
