Re: transimission fluid?

Agreed. You need a temp gauge in a good location to see at least what is coming out of the tranny.

Since I am in a rapidly fluctuating climate I am facing the diffuculty on how to produce a working thermostatically controlled cooler.

Currently I am wondering about how a 160 thermostat would ever close with the cooler being in the radiator and the conduction constantly heating up the trans fluid....????
I think it might be open all the damn time.

Conversely, one that is set to be full open at 180 degrees will crack and allow 10% at 160-165 which might be the best option.

Also, I am going to plumb to rail coolers next to each other, one the std tube and fin and the other the finned full aluminum model. The tube and fin will sit above the belly pan so it will have some protection from the rocks etc while the back one has a little more beef and act as a better heat sink.
