IIRC all the new trucks have an external cooler now. versus the heat exchanger that was in the obs and nbs. the stock nnbs cooler is MORE than adequate for ordinary driving. unless you're going to haul heavy loads or live in the mountains, its overkill.

actually yes. :read:


ambient temperature has far less to do with fluid temperature than the terrain/driving style/vehicle weight do. :read:

you dont do the kind of driving to warrant that. youll just end up keeping the fluid TOO cool and possibly below prime operating temperature.

I have a stock one. I keep asking people does it allow me to just swap out the cooler and keep my stock lines or do I have to re run the new lines?

My trans can get pretty warm sometimes,close to 200. I like to be a little ruff on her when I probably should be. That is why I want to upgrade. So I don't even have to worry about this problem.


better safe than sorry:imo

AFAIK you can use stock lines.


What is "normal"?
