Transmission cooler?

[acritzer]

I've had a transmission cooler installed. With a trip out West towing a 30' TT I'm wondering if I should upgrade.

The one that's on there now is approx 10"x 7 1/2". There's plenty of room to add a larger one.

Any advice?

Monitor the trans temps while towing and go from there.

I don't have a guage for the trans

Cooler is way better than not cool enough.

A popular swap for people with 4r100 transmission is to run the same cooler that the 6.0L Excursion came with. That's my plan.

Would something like this work?

Yeah. Although I'm not sure on the hose barb size. Since you'll be putting rubber lines on (either the ones supplied or your own) you'll need to make sure it'll fit.

An idea to ponder and data point. I put a B&M filter between the in/output of my stock trans cooler; it's roughly the same dimensions you described, and takes a standard oil filter to help catch any debris. I pulled a 10K 28' trailer from MD to CA, and back a few years later after a few mods. Never a problem. Changed my fluid/filter every 25K when trailering vice proscribed maintenance interval. I also upgraded my trans pan to a maghytec (it also has an NPT port for a sender) and holds an extra 8 qts as well as a 1" magnetic drain to catch the little fuzzies..it has a port for a temp sender to gauge. I have an autometer Pro-Comp Ultra Lite series.

There is also a "monitoring" port on the E4OD trans to accept a NPT sender too.

You can get a Scan Guage which plugs into the computer port under the dash. It will tell you the trans temp and three other readouts. I have been using one years. No muss no fuss installation. A little bit to set up, but it does a lot. Also will read out other codes.

or an Ultra Gauge for about 1/4 the price of a Scan Gauge. And the Ultra Gauge will display up to 8 things at once.

Hmmm .. Y'all got me thinking of adding a Trans cooler also since I'm running 35's
