My god you guys are relentless!- Sorry I was away from the computer for a while, but will post the pics tonight. - I used the 16" cooler from Jegs, but wish I had used the 21"- it would be a perfect fit.

I am trying to post more (and better) pics, but even with my camera on VGA mode my file size is to big. Any advice?

Relentless yes, but extremely grateful. It's about the season for us to really be thinking about our auto transmissions. BTW how do you figure out which line is the return line?

As far as picture resizing goes, I don't know if I'm allowed to post this link, but it is for the common good. Download and install this:

Thanks again

Thanks for the advice on the pics- I will post more photos tomorrow, and give a much better look at the end product.
The return line is the line that is "on top" of the other line. I don't care what the guys say about overcooling. The Chrysler type IV tranny fluid is synthetic, and it flows very well in cold weather. Regardless, I use my jeep hard, and tow with it, so this is a must have item.

So how does this compare to a tranny cooler? I think this looks a lot better.

AAARRGGG- I am unable to load additonal photos as the file size is still to big, any I can't load the X-P software to reduce the size down as I am on my work PC.

As far as your question, a heat sink cooler is not as affective as standard radiator type cooler. But, the standard radiator type cooler reduces the efficiency of your AC Condensor and your radiatior. However, the heat sink is more efficient at low speed, as it does not require direct airflow.

So if you have a winch already blocking airflow to your radiator and AC condensor, do you want to make it worse by bolting a standard type tranny cooler to the radiator. Not me.
