Hi guys

Ive recently got myself a new (well near new 30k on the clock) dual cab and it has a 6 speed auto transmission.

Ive bought myself a auxillary transmission cooler kit to help keep things cool in the trany dept.

I want to run it in series with the existing transmission cooler which is part of the radiator (EG make use of new auxillary tran cooler AND main radiator)

QUESTION

should i run the new auxillary auto transmission cooler in circuit before the radiator or after ?


My thought would be to cool the trany fluid down BEFORE it goes through the radiator to assist also with the reduction of heat going into the engines coolant and to also keep the motor coolant cooler.

BUT the instruction with the kit say for a series connection to install the auxillary tranny cooler AFTER the radiator..may be their way of thining is to remove as much heat with the radiator coolant so the transmission fluid it can be as cool as possible before returning to the transmission.

any thoughts

Many thanks in advance

John
