Maintanence after installing trans cooler
I installed a B&M supercooler on my 07 JK a while back.
And for those who have run it for quite a while, what should I look for in the long run?
I am guessing checking for any leaks/cracks and the hoses themselves but is that all?
Thanks for any input.

That is about all I look for after doing mine. Check fluid level occasionally and no worries. When I first put mine on, I had a slow leak from using gas line barbed hose splice fittings, but changed out to the recommended kind in the write up. No leaks after that.
Now that you have an aux cooler in the system, you may want to know what the fluid level on the dip stick should be with the lower temps you will have. Mine always runs in the 90°F to 130°F range.
Here is a picture showing that information.

Thanks for that pic. So how do you monitor your trans temps? I'm looking for a solution myself.
Since I installed that, I have an AeroForce gauge that plugs into the OBDII connector.
You can also point an infrared temp gun at the pan when you want to check the dip stick.
I did that and found the reading to be very close to the gauges' readings.
Ya awhile ago after driving around some, let the engine run for a while and I checked the dip stick thingy.
It was between the lines where it says hot but closer to the hole on the left ( pointing that way < ) towards the cold reading.
Is this normal?

That would be normal if the fluid temp was between 165°F and 200°F.
