On stock 91 GT - question on OEM cat system -

[MrPerfect2]

Would a separate trans cooler placed in front of radiator , bypassing the radiator take some heat from the radiator and lower water temps - would I sacrifice trans cooling though this way ?

 

[General karthief]

Not going to make any difference on the engine cooling, I'm on the fence with trans coolers, your trans needs to run about the same as engine temp, at least that is what I've been told by a trans 'expert' so may be detrimental in cold climates, I think the jury is out on that one though.
the 'dump truck' runs duel coolers cause it pulls a lot of weight.

 

[MrPerfect2]

Ok - probably not good to complicate my situation and just put new radiator in

 

[Noobz347]

That's pretty conservative, and it's a parroted rule of thumb

100%

It can be difficult to filter out responses from [mechanics] versus responses from "internet warriors".

You suck. Why do I keep paying you?

I appreciate your input - I was asking for advice and you gave it - we all have different opinions and you have experience - thanks

 

[MrPerfect2]

I am far from your guys level of expertise - i am a maverick mechanic who is willing to learn “why & how “
