I'll make sure to wear my heat sleeves.

Pro Tip:

Use the neighbor's hands instead of your own.

I'm not so sure he would want to be my neighbor after I did that to him. Doubt I'd get any more Christmas cookies. lol

Sure, but if the thermostat is keeping it above 200 degrees, or higher, what's the benefit of having it? The fluid is still going to warm up to temperature, especially if it's running through the radiator cooler.

The thermostat will keep the trans fluid above 200 degrees, however, a larger trans heat exchange in front of the radiator and/or larger capacity oil pan will reduce the eventual high end of the temp range, all things being equal. Cody did you install your cooler control valve yet to see the temp reduction?

I'm thinking the benefits of the HUGE Full Race 20 row trans fluid cooler ($400) would be better than the B&M deep oil pan ($490). What do you guys think?

No, I have not. The truck is in storage for the winter, and also getting the ADV bedsides put on it. I already have the Full Race trans cooler, which is why I'm also doing the cooler control valve, B&M trans pan, and new lead frame, connector, trans filter, and trans pan gasket. Might as well tackle it all at once. Full Race trans cooler was installed at the same time as their radiator.
