Hey...currently I am running an trans oil cooler for my trans in-line with my radiator. I am going to go for an aluminum radiator soon, but was wondering if it was worth paying extra for a radiator with an adaptor for trans cooling. So re-itterating my question. Would i be better off running a standard aluminum radiator and seperately hooking up my trans cooler? Would it cool any more so than in tandem with the main radiator?

I have an aluminum radiator and run a separate B&M trans cooler. I have a trans fluid temp gage so I know it runs cool, even with a 2400 stall.

besides if you already have the tranny unit an aluminum radiator isn't that pricey. I just bought one for 180.00 from summit.
