Ford has a thermostat on the stock trans cooler, that does not allow fluid to flow until it reaches a preset temperture. I would not recommend the additional trans cooler because there is such a thing as trans fluid being to cool.

does this apply to a stock or a modified one? Cause mine seems to run around @ 100 to 150 at the most and so far so good.

the 03 w/ 4r70w does not have this t-stat feature. it was not incorporated until 04 with the 4r75w. and besides the t-stat will not keep the fluid from getting too hot.....and that is the purpose of the cooler....

The Marauder never had this feature, and a good transmission cooler is always a good idea especially on high RWHP cars and with high stall converters the device you are describing is basically a thermo bypass valve

it works in theory just like the cars thermostat, the fluid comes in and when the car is cold it senses that and it bypasses the fluid from the transmission cooler, till the fluid comes up to temperature, then it opens up and allows it to circulate through the transmission cooler.

What is the device on the line to or from the stock transcooler? Isn't it a thermostat?

What is the rating/dimensions/price on your cooler Dennis?

Is it meant to go in the same space as the original?

What do you do with the PS cooler when you remove the stock trans/PS cooler?

Dennisi,

Does it flow enough to be used as an oil cooler?

I know I'm bringing back an old thread, but for the people that have got this cooler and have a trans temp gauge what kind of readings did you get before and after installing the trans cooler that DR sells?

Also when I get one I'd like to install a trans temp gauge, any certain place the sender unit should be placed at on the lines?

I'm going to install my Autometer sender in the supply line to the cooler.

Your going to get a bunch of different suggestions. :lol:

I've been running with an aftermarket cooler plumbed in after the stock cooler with no problems for over 3 years. Heat is the enemy of tranny fluid......

I personally would like to know the temp of the fluid leaving the trans than coming in. With heat, comes destruction.

That's why I'm installing the port in the line going into the cooler from the tranny.

Tom Adair has one on his car and I am thinking it ran about 190 degrees the trans cooler I sell has a check valve so it regulates the transmission temprature
