I'm planning to install a cool soon, but was told to run it to the aftermarket first then to the radiator so it could help regulate the temps. Any truth to that?

:bsflag:It is a lie!! Let's say the temp. at the bottom of your water/trany cooler in the bottom is 180 o F. Your cooled down trany fluid would be heated up to that [180 o ]. So why have a extra cooler? The torque converter is what heats up the fluid the most and can get it pretty hot.Quote:

So from the trany to stock in the bottom of the water rad then to the extra cooler. That is the way everybody does it, you can be different if you want to.:LOL:

Hope this helps.:beerchug:
Think about it, why would you want to cool the fluid to 150 degrees and then heat it back up in the radiator?
