    Transmission Cooler Kit

    The MM did not come with a tranny cooler correct? Is there a particular aftermarket cooler that is better? Or a style that is better? Is the radiator style or the finned skinny dual pass cooler better? Looking for suggestions. Gonna have my front bumper off and I wanna add one just not sure which one and might as well do it while the bumper is off.

    The Marauder came with a cooler from the factory. Some have added an additional cooler in series with the stock cooler. You can't go wrong adding more cooling for your tranny.

    Keep in mind the MM came with a very efficient plate type trans cooler that also has a thremal loop built in to it.

    Ahhh ok did not know that. So then there really is no need to waste the money on a cooler if it already has an efficient one.

    I never said it was a waste.
    If you do it correct and plumb the thermal loop properly then fine.

    As I said, plumb it in series with the factory cooler. I hooked up the output of the factory cooler to the input of the aftermarket cooler.

    Has any one logged trans temp differences before/after an additional cooler was installed?
    I just did a 200 mile trip in 90 degree weather and watched my trans temp stay at right around 200 degrees at 85 MPH and went up rapidly if I sped up.
    Just curious.

    Gary,

    I put a deep pan on mine and with 2 extra quarts and it takes a little longer to reach temp but ran no cooler so I installed a small auxiliary cooler and it runs about 5 degrees cooler.....maybe!!??

    When it's hot it sits right on 195* at 75 MPH and at times it will run at 200*......about the same as stock!!

    Wow, I never paid much attention to the stock temps for the tranny and cooler. i now know with the additional cooler, deep pan, aeroforce gauge and the hotter than balls florida 95 degree weather I drove in from 9am to around 2pm. tranny temp never went over 180. It usually stays around 160 -170.
