WOO HOO no more overheating!
I bought a can of rad flush and 4 liters of coolant, and 4 liters of deionized water, and a new 180 degree thermo, changed it all and the warmest it gets now is 90 degress celcius ( half way up the gage). Next week me and 4 friends are planning a camping trip we figure we can stuff 3 tents, 2 coolers, all our sleeping bags and clothing in the trunk and in the car it self..can it be done?? lol

Man, I just went camping this past weekend. I got 2 sleeping bags, one tent, a cooler, a camp tote, my clothes and a dog in the car with one other passenger. So tight I had to send my beer cooler with a friend.
That'* gonna be a squeeze.
Get a tranny cooler on that thing!

I'm a firm believer in a cooler tranny, cuz the cooler fluid won't heat the engine coolant as much when it enters the radiator. I'm running the stock cooler, AND an aftermarket right in front of it for good measure.

If you want to add more cooling capacity, I would suggest getting an aftermarket one that will come with various parts enabling you to hook it up in some other convenient spot and tap it into the existing system.
I also don't think you can have _too_ much cooling of the trans fluid, so if you think you're pushing your car harder than normal, go ahead and add another cooler.
