I have had a problem in the past when I was towing a trailer with my '71 Dodge 383 truck. Before I added a trans cooler it got too hot and actually spewed trans fluid. The cooler fixed it. I just gotta think that I want the cooler to remove heat before the radiator to help keep the radiator cooler. I will get a trans temp gauge and if it seems too cool I can delete the rad cooler. My cooler is the BMM-70266 in the Summit catalog which is rated for 28,000 lbs GVW. The mid-size racing cooler. I did hit the top first with the incoming fluid. ===================================================================== Dennis J. wrote:

I would think that sizing your trans cooler area would solve both your problems, keeping the temp. cooler in the summer and warm enough in the winter (or cooler weather) to function peoperly?
