Important

I got 2 d's in college, one in probability and statistics and one in differential equations. The prob and stats one was a 11am class in the summer that I went to maybe half the classes. The DE class, well I could take that class about 8 times and probably never get it (didn't help the teacher was a dick).

Differential equations sucked! The first try the teacher barely spoke English so I knew that I wouldn't have a chance so I dropped it the 2nd week. Took it with a good teacher and suprisingly did pretty good, but still hated it!

I am so glad I am done and have that fancy piece of paper... Only use ~20% of what I learned in college...

Whats everyone using for aftermarket trans coolers?

thinking of putting one on the jeep and the flex since i will be toting the camper around, wanna keep the trans happy.

I have the b m (b and m?) I can never remember what it is. It works really well...put it in at 190k so it's been on for over 100k.

Don't feel bad cheese man, I didn't ever read the stories either...and I was trying to get an English teaching endorsement. The sad thing is that I got the endorsement without ever reading any of the stories for any of my lit classes. That's when I first realized how broken our education system is. I also realized that I could never teach something that I wasn't really passionate about....that's sort of what drove me from teaching high school and into what I currently do
 
Way back, when I went to school for electronics (Z80 microprocessor was almost state of the art), the teachers would occasionally get to the point where they would have to say "You need calculus for that" , but it wasn't required as part of the program. I took it just for fun and managed to get a C. It did help that many of the examples were electronics related, and that the teacher was cool.

I learned on 8085, did z80 for fun, now know half a dozen other architectures... all since 2001, I might be a nerd :laugh:

Showed up for the first day of class with the 8085 and had already read half the textbook and designed a single board computer with it. I love that stuff.

These days I spend my entire workday designing PCBs and writing firmware for AVR and ARM microcontroller based embedded systems, so it kinda paid off.

I used a Tru-Cool LPD 4544 9.5"x11x.75" 3/8" barb cooler it is the stacked plate kind and iirc is the kind that claims to internally bypass the cooler when fluid is cold.

I use a B&M trans temp gauge, a spin on filter and redid all my lines in pushlock hose with AN fittings. But I got kind of out of hand with it lol.
Here it is if you want to see it http://www.naxja.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1080904&page=3

Mark "High2by" Morton is going to be the next National DAL BOD member. No one ran against him. There is a vote up in the national election booth, I think we should support him and make sure that he gets our vote.

How about The blue meanie.

I used a hayden from Advance auto, the biggest one that would fit on the radiator.
The stack plate coolers cool better than the tube and fin because there is more surface area.
Its best to route them into the radiator and then into the cooler. Running it throught the radiator and then to the cooler helps bring the trans up to engine temp faster than running it the other direction.

The first math class that I had in college was a self taught online class. It was college algebra. I had to pay a teacher to "teach" a class that he/she didnt have to go to. I was suppose to go to a class room and teach myself on the computer the material. I dopped that class the first day and got into a regular class.
The teacher would asign homework everyday and then the next class she would go over the work but never pick it up. I caught on real quick. I would go home halfway look over the work and then show up the next day and ask questions about the ones I didnt understand.
I got a B in that class.
 
My first experience in college was me being a jackass and wasting a shit ton of money my folks paid because they worked their asses off to provide for me. Hence the reason now I carry a 4.0.

I've done quite a bit of testing on my Jeep and F150, and to date, I have never had trans fluid enter the OTW and come out hotter than it went in... Its more like bringing the engine up to trans temp... Just my $0.02
 
Well after 10+ years and 2 name changes looks like I'm in the RED now.


Andy Stock is the name. I'm VP of Make It or Break It Four Wheelers in central(South) Iowa. Been doing the XJ MJ thing for long time.

Current stable holds my 89 XJ based 'buggy' 4.0/aw4/231 getting tons and 40 LTBs. A 93 2dr 2.5/5spd/231 locked, caged, PRP Pro Highbacks and 31s(built for tufftruck racing), and last is my 99 4dr 4.0/aw4/231 33" ST on 5" lift DD. And I tow with an 02 Yukon XL 2500 8.1.

I might have to visit sometime. Moving to Chapin in a week. Looks like I'm 1.5 hr straight north of Des Moines on 35.


I make it down to Cedar Falls to visit the wife's relatives on a regular basis...
