Installed tranny cooler, now engine running hot

[zeake]

The hose thats along the rad hose is the inlet line to the new cooler, which is hot from factory rad cooler anyways. The return line from the new cooler to my tranny inlet line is only about 18" long and runs along the passenger side of the rad. I wanted the return line line to be as short as possible so it wouldnt be affected by the rad temps on the way back to the tranny. Is this bad theory? Do you think this is a problem in the future?

I doubt you will have a problem. I am no expert though.

I don't think you will have a problem with it, but I probably would have flipped it and had the fittings on the bottom like Jermoslin did.

btw I mounted it with the fittings facing upward due to the gravity fed internal bypass on this particular cooler.
