Do I go with a stock 4-row radiator, or go with an aluminum radiator? I was thinking about using a stock 4-row radiator that comes with transmission cooler, and then also possibly adding aftermarket trans cooler. Tech support at Derale Performance suggested running through rad trans cooler and then through aftermarket cooler like this.
