H2 external tranny cooler

H2 external tranny cooler
Just installed the H2 external transmission cooler and completely by-passed the radiator internal cooler. Now i don't have to worry about the coolant mixing with transmission fluids when the radiator internal cooler go.
I used this
Also, did this:
replaced transmission filter, transmission pan and gasket (old pan we're dented from off-roading)
completely flushed the transmission fluids with oem dexron 6 and reset transmission fluid life to 100% with Tech 2
replaced transfer case fluids with oem dexron 6
replaced front and rear differential fluids with oem 75w90 synthetic gear oil
replaced rear brake pads and parking brake shoes
Serviced front brakes
Need right rear parking brake cable, siezed, parts on order.
Road test result with the new external cooler (about 20 km distance), will update for long term use:
54*C at idle with 90*C engine temp.
65*C at 110 km/hr with 28*C outside temp
I used to run around 98*C with the stock tranny cooler.
I will see if i need to install the by-pass valve in the winter.

I liked how you bent out the bottom brackets. I did the same and it worked great. I put a little relief score in the top and bent them carefully. I also had to notch the lower bracket of the power steering cooler to be able to slide the tru-cool over just a little to clear the hood. Thanks for the help.
Oh, what are you using to plug up the radiator holes?

Make sure that the lower bracket was not touching the ac condenser, i have to trim mine.
I just used the tranny cooler plug that i saved that came in the new radiator when i replaced in my wife H3.

Now you have me wondering. The AC Condenser is behind the cooler and the lower bracket is now bent in front of the cooler. How would it hit the condenser? Or are you saying on the backside of the tru-cool, the lower bracket sticks out beyond the cooler profile and could be hitting the condenser? I can't say I saw that either.

Citiboy, when are you coming back down to Staten Island so you can install these in my trucks? Hope all is well.
