Default 2nd ?

Are you guys sure the bottom 5 inches on the a/c condensor are the tranny cooler ? need to be sure plan on running 3 6inch fans on the bottom to see if that helps instead of cooler and have no warnty issues that way

The bottom 5 inches or so is the trans cooler. No doubt about that. As for which line to tap? I'd tap the return line. See this link for port identification

http://www.atsgmiami.com/articles/ht...Supplement.htm

The top port on the side of the transmission is the cooler return port. Trace that to the front and cut that line.

Try out the fans but you may be adding more of a PITA factor than nessasary. The cooler installation is quick, cheap, easy and very effective.

As for warrenty. It seems to me that from all I read here that Chrysler is taking a different tact on warrenty claims . . . that is deny when at all possible. I'd just rather not even bother with the dealer unless I had too. Add the trans cooler and never worry about the transmission again.

A showroom floor stock Jeep is like a blank canvas. Can you really leave it stock? would you want to? Trying to negociate the "will this void my warrenty" minefield and make meaningful upgrades to your Jeep is an exercise in frustration and exasperation. Why put yourself through it? Leave it dead stock or forget about the warrenty and hope for the best and plan for the worst if you have an issue.

Default Thanks

I know what you mean by avoid the dealer already had 2 head gaskets replaced at 5000 miles So just going to install the cooler found one with fan that comes on at 175 works for me off road when you are just tinking along seems to be when she heats up. Thanks for all the help.
