I've been looking around about doing this mod, but I'm not feeling overly confident with what I've found. Here's what I got, some time back I did some work for a buddy who payed me by getting me some stacked plate transmission coolers by Imperial, one's a 7-1/2"x11" the other a 11-3/8"x11". The rigs a 89' 4.0L with the trusty AW4.
Imperial states the smaller cooler is good on full size vehicles towing up to 2,500 lbs. The larger is for class "A" motorhomes towing up to 10,000 lbs.
So, who has anything to say about ditching to factory in tank system for a totally external system? Can I safely do this and run the samller 7-1/2"x11" cooler, I'd prefer this since it appears as if it will fit a bit easier.
I can (or can I?) assume the best place for it is in the airflow for the main fan? My A/C condenser is gone BTW, OBA is way more important! Of course I will be installing a gauge too, just to keep an eye on those temps.
Thanks
