http://m.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G4969. This is the one it say it should stay between 160-200 and it's getting to 190 w/o a stall..... Should have bought a Trucool 40 that's what I get I guess

No I have not had one blow.

I assumed he wasn't driving a race truck, but could be wrong.

That would suck to send one back from a faulty radiator.

The theory behind it is that there is no better heat transfer than liquid to liquid. If you had the air cooler only and were to tow you could really be in a world of hurt. The heavier loads and slow speed would be all bad.


Tell us more about the truck this is on.

this was after i put my ecsb back to stock, had a stock 6.0 with a built trans, headers and tune, figured id hook the trans lines back to stock also, week later i got on it, the next day at work trans was slipping, noticed the coolant bottle looked like peto-bismol

i understand the theory about the cooling system and i agree with ya, no doubt its a better way to cool the trans, maybe it was the luck of the draw, but its not a chance ill take anymore

by the way trans line pressures were stock, just like when it was modified !

I've never had a trans cooler leak in a radiator, I bet that was quite a mess! With all the bad luck I've had over the years that's one failure I haven't encountered, yet. "Knock on wood"

Not the biggest summit has to offer, actually that one is pretty weak for a truck. Try this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BMM-70274/ I run that one with a 3600 10 inch converter on a 4l80e with a bypassed radiator cooler and it rarely sees above 190. With radiator cooler you should be around 150.

Since the day I put my Tru-Cool 40k on, I have been over 190 ONE TIME with my 258mm 3400 in my 6l80e. If you didn't know, the 6l80e runs hotter than the 4l60 and 4l80. There's a reason everyone uses them.

[T-Stark]

But he's asking if you bypassed the radiator or if you are using both,

Basically how did you hook it up?

I am still going through the rad.

Thanks if its good enough for the 6l60 it good enough for mine
