this is the one i and most people use, Automatic Transmission SuperCooler #70268 ... i think the only thing i bought was better hose clamps, and some extra rubber line, because it wasnt quite long enough if i remember corretly.. any way it was cheap. this cooler does a great job, i have the aeroforce gauge and can monitor tranny temps and it stays nice and cool!!

Could you tell me more about the Aeroforce temp gauge? Price, where to buy, how to hook up?? I would like to have a trans temp gauge and a real engine oil pressure gauge.

It plugs right into the OBDII Port an has enough wire to mount most places (From my photo I chose to mount it under my window switches). It can be set-up to monitor most any parameters you choose, mine stays on Tranny Temp an Coolant Temp. Bought mine for around $225 online, and it comes with an online toutorial on how to set it up.

My interceptor gauge is a few years old now but unless the newer ones have it now, the oil pressure sensor is an add-on.

Great gauge. Expensive but does a lot.

just google aeroforce interceptor.

I went with the ORW model also.
Kit is very complete, and not hard to install. Well built.
