Trans cooler recommendations
 
I bought a 27ft travel trailer and will towing it with my 87 3/4 ton.

I want to put a trans cooler on. Any recommendations or lessons learned. Is there a better cooler than others? Thx

I'm fond of a stacked plate design over a tube and fin, but just buy the biggest one that will fit.

I was looking at the stacked vs finned and came across a pan cooler for a TH400 trans which I have.

Anybody ever use or have any experience with these? Hopefully the link will work.

I was just thinking that it won't work when stuck in traffic while the others mounted in front of the radiator will have the engine fan.

The pan "may" work, but I'd go with the front mount.
Personally I got a good size (not the biggest, but far from the smallest) tube and fin. I also run the radiator cooler with the aftermarket, sometimes the extra heat is needed.

I think the cooler I have is Hayden. Not sure though. Whatever I was able to pick up locally. Just went to look, got the box. 2nd largest, for motorhome use and 5th wheel towing over 10,000lb.
