I have two rubber hoses from my tranny installing a new cooler. Does it matter which hose goes to which nozzle on cooler ?

Not that I have ever heard but was wondering the same thing. I guy at the tranny shop that rebuilt my tranny told me to hook them up and it would be fine.. But I noticed he went outta business???

Up here in Minnesota you want to run the transmission fluid from the transmission to the external cooler then to the tank in the radiator. I cools it better in the summer than just the radiator tank. In the winter however you need to warm it back up before you send it back to the transmission.
In Arizona you would do the opposite.
Tranny -> raidiator tank -> external cooler -> tranny.

Your login looks like you are in MD, sort of half way. You'll have to decide but I bet you could hook it up like the southern people and do ok.

The best thing you could do is install a tranny temp gauge, hook it up one way or the other and keep an eye on the situation.
