Trans TEMP

[8nutz8]

yall welcome for that bypass valve trick . mine are around 190s when i beat on it. have bypass valve and aux cooler.

polski- are you running the aux cooler with the 2 T fittings or just straight back to the trans from the aux cooler?

I have T fittings with the AUX cooler on the branch.

IIRC you tested it both ways correct? did it stay cooler with one way or another?

I didn't test it the other way but can confirm that the aux cooler was 180 and i could hold the pipe that goes through the radiator. I followed the stock design.

Sorry i'm seeking a little bit of clarity here. trans temps were 180 without the T's? Is there a reason you decided to decided to add the T's? Did you determine one way ran cooler than the other? or just wanted to keep it in stock configuration.
Trying to determine if it would be worth it for me to tear off the bumper and add the T's to my system since the aux cooler had no additional effect as its rigged up now.

Weird it really shouldn't be that much different either way. The stock cooler is part of the ac condenser coil. I don't think you will see cooler temps per se they will just be much more consistent. The thermostat won't allow temp to go under thermostat set point.

I thought the same so i plumbed the aux cooler in the simplest way possible. Starting to wonder if it does a damn thing at all or if it's the by-pass Tstat that's doing all the work. Although that's highly unlikely or FMC wouldn't have bothered with the additional cooler. The trans temps do seem more regulated and consistent but peak temps have not dropped at all post aux cooler install.

You would have to bypass the thermostat but then in the winter it would never warm up which is also bad.
