I'm not a fan of most aftermarket stuff.jontyrees wrote:Just dropped off the truck with my mechanic. He was pretty insistent that the way to go is to add an external atf cooler kit, in front of the radiator. He said that the stock external cooler is "not enough", and since the kit is about $60, and his labor is very reasonable, I'm going with his suggestion. That's actually the solution I'm most comfortable with - keeps the atf completely out of the engine coolant loop, adds cooling capacity, less than $100. What's not to like?
what's not to like?
the additional mounts, hoses, clamps, and plumbing of an aftermarket cooler.
I'd rather stick with the by-pass and OEM radiator, as I've done to both of my R51s.
here is the definitive thread on the radiator & bypass.
it's long, but it sure is definitive!
