While this is of interest, it would be good to see the oil temp out of the trans, to see the working temp of the oil and what the decrease in temp out, would be.

It's pretty much made my mind up that the JK needs a trans cooler before even thinking about towing... and probably could use one just for normal driving!

I wanted to use the shortest hoses possible. According to the guys at B&M, the way I have it mounted and with the hoses pointed will achieve max cooling.

Cooling
Good deal, I added one of these to my TJ when I got it...
I'm going to get a temp guage as well, mount it near the 4x4 shifter...
that glow looks spiffy...
my friend's Excursion has a tranny temp guage stock... but its setup for towing.
Can an auto run too cool? what if you added like 40 coolers?

No, stock 32" and the radiator steams off rain when it's 40 out... I'm not talking some steam either, I'm talking clouds of steam rolling out of the grill. The temp gage (if it really is a gage and not an idiot light with a needle) never moves over mid-gage.

Might be worth talking to the dealer and having them check out though, then if you have any issues later, even when it's out of warranty, it should be covered because it's been noted as a pre-existing condition.
