However, I did not mount my gauge where he did. Here is a picture of my gauge:

Excellent write-up
Hey paratus13, very helpful (and simple) write-up for the trannie cooler. Thanks for the contribution. Keep us posted on your results trailering.

Towed close to 2000 pounds yesterday - about a half hour trip each way on back roads, up and down hills, stopping and going...never got above 170*. This was in my 2D Sahara with 3.73's. Working well

Have you noticed if your engine temps have gone up since you installed the unit in front of your radiator? That is my biggest concern. I have had my cooler for a little over a month and have been trying to decide whether to install it in front of the radiator or not. It gets real hot here in the summer and I'm not wild about blocking air to the radiator. The unit I bought does have an electric fan on it, so that should help, just don't want to force more hot air through the radiator fins especially on trail rides when you driving slow and things tend to heat up more.

steam
Yeah, I was taking a hopeful guess that the steam was from the trans cooler... it bothers me that the radidiator is running over 220, normal driving in 40 deg weather... Hate to see what it steams like when it's 105 out this July.

I can get my entire hand between the transmission cooler and the condinser, the way I have done the install. It allows for plenty of airflow. If you ever notice any increase in temp in your engine cooling, you could always get a thermostat that kicks open at a lower temp.
