Went out and picked up a Hayden Ultra Cool trans cooler today, a model designed for motorhomes/ trucks pulling over 10,000 in tow lol.

I figure that should keep the trans cool lol. Went for a 20 min drive with it being 90* hitting hill * and not topping 40 mph in 3rd gear, i didn't even touch 200* on the trans temp

Here'* the pics.


Stock setup:

Ya this was impressive lol

The new one on the left, OEM on the right, look at the design and size difference:

Here'* the finished look with everything installed, done, and cleaned up:

dude! that looks WAY COOL! bet its gonna stay cool all summer now!

nice job!

Looking good Lake and Ya know thats gonna keep the tranny cooler. Nice install.

that stock cooler does look a little small compared to the aftermarket one. These transmissions need all the help they can get when it comes to keeping cool. Nice work!

Thanks

Ya today it hit 96* for a lil bit today, trans didn't get any hotter than 194 while running errands today.

Normally it'* running 210+ at times.

Nice job. What were some of the details as far as pricing and mounting it up?

Mounting it....not too bad, just I had to pop off the top two screws to the auxillary fan and bend it back a lil to get the holder on the rod thingy.

Price with something else cheap and not related, I don't remember what it is either...that'* gonna bug me, but, the price out the door was like $56 and some change at my local parts store.

hard part it getting the rubber hose they supply you with onto the metal tubes that came on the car with oily/greasy hands....that had to be the hardest part of my battle.

Looks like about twice the size of stock
nice install lakeville !

would it be wise to put one on my 00 SLE or not

you are in the land of the polar bears.....you dont want to trans too cool, espically in the winter, what are the temps in the summer and winter where you are
