Buttons, do you have any temp readings with urs w the texas heat and the 40k cooler?

Cruising around it is around the 150 range on a hot 100* day. Hot roding around goes to 180. I towed a 6x12 trailer 2 summers ago and it never got above 170 for the 600 miles.

So around a 30-40* drop in this hot place.

Whats the average humidity out there in summer time?

Yesterday, traffic sucked, so I did quite a bit of "city" driving on the highway and I hit 180 for a short period of time.

I stayed around 165-170 while at cruising speed. I was a little surprised at this, I think my memory is not serving me well and that my temps with the OEM cooler were much higher than I remember them being.

Its not even jul/aug yet....

Summer is around 15-20% humidity.

This is TruKool 40k money isn't it? Wouldn't that be better for the money?

I am probably looking @ something like the Derale 13503 Series 8000 Plate and Fin Transmission Oil Cooler for my 'Nali. Seems like a decent bang for the buck upgrade. Unless I can find a junkyard cooler upgrade or something.

I paid around 130 for mine. But when heat is the biggest killer of these transmissions I didn't want to skimp out on the cooler. Especially how I drive.

Well yeah you run yours a lot harder than I do!

This rig is mostly for moving kids around on the weekends. I figure the lesser cooler would be enough to make a positive impact.

Dont skimp on the cooler. you never know when you will need the extra cooling.
