Upgrading stock OEM trans cooler

[Bms]

So far average driving 5 degrees Celsius cooler and pushing up hill the most I've seen was 96 degrees.

I realize this thread ended a year ago, and it's more related to a budget simple replacement of stock cooler with larger oem style but has anyone considered or installed the RPG trans cooler?

Transmission Cooler Kit - RPG Offroad

It's naturally more expensive but looks nicely made and of good heavy duty quality.

I'm considering purchasing it but wondering if modification is needed to properly fit as a replacement, especially with a Whipple twin elec fan large intercooler installed?

So anyone running this cooler kit?

I guess I never updated this.

I went with the ADD CBR trans cooler fan kit. No issues and temps never spike over 198.

Really!? When I run hard (ha) I can hit 235 then have to "cruise" :/

question....will the Dorman 918-234 work with the stock if i added??

Im not sure.

The Dorman 6 row cooler fits like stock. I also did the AFE deep pan. Between the 20+ qts of oil and the added cooling capacity, should be a winner combo both in cooling and installation. Had my buddy flush the stock system first then added the cooler,pan, filter and extention piece. I have a 5 Star programmer coming in . I figure with a little higher pressure and less clutch,convertor slipping that should help too. To be honest Ive never seen my temp over 196 with the stock setup but I have to drive a couple hours to get to some sand. Ive had good luck with Redline watter wetter in the past but nothing over 5-10 degrees.

Afe pan

Just wish it came with a filter with a tig welded ext tube. It was pretty hard to get the aluminium one it came with into the new filter.
