Hey guys. Will be installing my turbo setup from huron this fall. Accumulating all my parts. Looking for an external cooler for my tranny. Who makes a good one and one that will fit with an intercooler in the front as well? Ive researched and found ADM mentioned a bunch, but am having trouble locating a kit. Any ideas? Also what fluid are you guys running? Buying a deeper tranny pan and am gonna need some fluid. Thanks

I pieced mine together, came out to somewhere around $180. I also used the tru-cool oil cooler

I installed a Hayden 679 on May, it keeps the temps 20-30 degrees cooler according to the temp gauge; while you are at it install a dipstick if you dont already have one.

Great write up and thanks. Does anyone make a fitting that allows the use of the factory hoses? So i could just remove both hoses from the radiator and adapt them to short sections of hose and then to the trucool cooler? Would be a cheaper way. Any thoughts?
