what to do for a trans cooler?

so my life time warranty radiator from cold case radiators started leaking warranty was easy to do but the new one they sent no long has a transmission cooler inside of it, which really grinds my gears as i tow with this truck and i under stand that the water cool cooler is a lot better, then a simple air to air cooler, im waiting to hear back form cold case as to why the new radiator which has the same part number no longer has a transmission cooler in it. but if they cant remy my issues what is the best external trans cooler, i have braid an hoses right now.

Re: what to do for a trans cooler?

On my LS projects with an auto I always run a B&M stacked plate trans cooler.
If you go that way get the kind with NPT ports so you can easily adapt -6 lines.
Here's a pic of my C10. You can just see it in front of the radiator. Better pic of my current 80 Camaro LS3 project.

I found this one in the utility building with the an lines already in it so I'm going to flush it and clean it real good and I guess I'm going to mount it in front of the radiator and Let It Rock
