I took out the stock cooler and simply replaced it with the 40k.

Mock up.


Thin coat of flat black to hide it.


Finished product.

Installed and drove around about 10 miles of cruising at 50 mph or so. Temps never got over 142. Seemed to stick at around 138. I wish I would have done AN lines and compression fittings, but I'm going to be out of town working next week and wanted to get this thing on. I may go back and do it that way later. I took out the stock cooler and simply replaced it with the 40k.

Huge cooler. Sadly I have no space. have anyone tried the B&M with fan? Do the work?

Mine has only seen 190 once and it was pulling 7000lbs up a. Long steep grade . Cruising im 140 on average ....dunno why the 6.2 makes difference or not
Thus is still all stock coolers

140degs? Lol. Something must be wrong with your gauge because there isn't one truck I've been in that cruises at 140degs from the factory.
Even my stock caddy cruising for 2hrs going to Laredo run a solid 187degs with cruise control on.

The trans fluid flows thru the stock radiator trans cooler and that water is 200degs. No way it's coming out and back into the trans at 140degs.
Even if u have a 160stat.

U must have the only truck that runs 140degs trans temp from the factory.



They u go playboy. I shouldve quoted his post

We're good. Although in George's defense, he does live in an area of the country that sees much cooler temperatures than we do year round. I wouldn't doubt that his truck has seen lower temps than us southern folks on average.

[George C]

doubt that, if it doesnt get hot pulling 7000lbs up hills then i doubt a lead foot is going to make a difference

i got a heavier right foot ill get it hot lol
