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.Originally Posted by HarleyDave
Only time it would be good [extra cooler 1st] would be in very cold weather to help your trany heat up to operating temps.But by covering your extra cooler when it is very cold out helps the trany warm up. Get a Interceptor gauge and you can monitor the temps.
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.

Hope this helps.

Think about it, why would you want to cool the fluid to 150 degrees and then heat it back up in the radiator?
