Just needed to know if all tranmission coolers are the same, and if AODE's have certain criteria (dimensions) plugs or AN fittings that are specially needed.
Thanks.

I bought a cheap one at Oreilly's. It came with all the fittings for a rubber hose hook up. It's not the BEST way to do it, but it's been working fine for a couple of years.

Get yourself a big stacked plate cooler. They're more efficient than fin-tube coolers and they self regulate.

I say get a big one because I had initially chosen one that packaged nicely. Then some tune changes came and it was getting overwhelmed (I watch temps closely). I have an 11 x 11 x 1.5 cooler now.

Braided line is nice but I couldnt afford it. High quality hydraulic line should be ok. I sheath mine in heater hose to try and keep the actual hydraulic protected.

Good luck.

+1 on the stacked plate, keeps my tranny at 176deg F no matter how hot or how hard I beat it.

I'm running rubber lines as well until I can put on some sturdier ones. Been fine for a year on the rubbers.

So is their a size dimension I should be looking at?
Are the coolers internal or external?

Coolers are external. Most folks mount them in front of the condenser but you could remote mount one if you use a cooling fan with it.

The size noted above should do well for you. I'd want a cooler that is rated for mid 20K GVWR or mid 20K BTU's.

SN95stangman. I just noticed on the back of the B&M transcooler box that the 70268 cooler has a BTU rating of 13,000. Isn't that too low of a BTU? would that be too low for nitrous?


Im thinking of reselling mine on ebay and going for the 70266 20,500 BTU style.
