Best trans cooler besides trucool 40k

[ImportThis]

I am upgrading my trans cooler, doing a fluid and filter change and upgrading to an aluminum finned trans pan with drain. i need some input on a trans cooler. Yes I know trucool is the best, but I don't have enough room for one. I have a light bar mounted behind the grill, the mounts are 12" apart and between the light/bracket and the hood latch assy there is only about 7.5" of room. Inevitably a trucool 40k will not fit. I found a B&M 24k gvw cooler that is 11.25" wide so it will fit between my light brackets. Has anybody ever used one of these coolers? Will there be a significant difference over the stock cooler?

Just mount the 40k lower. Behind the bumer or whatever.

24k will be a significant improvement, stock is more like 10k more or less. However, I would suggest doing what Playboy said and mounting is elsewhere. 40k is the proven best option why mess with success.

So is it best to run thru stock cooler and than the 40k are what, going to be getting a stall before long, would like to know what has been found to be best results, thanks.

Thank you kerrige for answering the question I had asked.

I'm not going to spend too damn much for a 40k, then spend more money to build a new bracket to mount my light. I'm going to spend 1/3 the cost for the B&M, not have to jack with the light, and still see improvements over the stock cooler.

They come off a ford. You can get them at the ford dealer.


You haven't seen the brackets that come with a 40k. You can mount that sucker anywhere. Just bend the brackets to fit. You can literally mount it flat if you want to.

If I mount one behind the bumper will it get adequate airflow??
