Will this trans cooler work?

[Carolina444]

Would this trans cooler work well on my truck? I got this b&m cooler w/fan laying around from my old mustang and thought I could use it on the truck instead of a 6.0 or v10 cooler.

It's tiny. I wouldn't replace the stock cooler for that little cooler, much less a V10 or 6.0L cooler.

I meant to say would it work well if I was to run it inline with the stock cooler..

I have used those B&M coolers with the fans on some plow trucks. That cooler has a thermostatic switch set for 170* to control the fan, every truck I put one in has never seen more than 170* even when plowing snow, so they do work pretty good. I know those temps are accurate because they have aftermarket trans temp gauges.

I'm going to wait until I get my gauges installed and then add that cooler inline with the stock one and see what kind of temps it will maintain.

Keep the cooler in the radiator, and run the trans fluid through it first, then any air to air cooler.

Be careful when adding coolers to the stock system. You need to ensure you do not create restriction and stifle fluid flow. IMO you are better off buying a larger cooler (V-10, 6.0 or 40k Tru-Cool) and eliminating the factory air-fluid while retaining the fluid-fluid cooler in the radiator.

No, it wouldn't. Three coolers may create enough restriction to open the bypass valve. If that happens NO fluid goes to the coolers.

Thanks for the info.. I'm just going to sell the b&m cooler and find a 6.0 or v10.

Part number FO4050104 is only 190.79 on rock auto plus you can find at least a 5% off coupon somewhere online. I have the cooler from rock auto, the quality is good and I had no issues with it.

NIB, less expensive. Better than the $230+ members are asking for used coolers.
