Hilly,Silver Bullet,
I can't get enough of what I'm seeing!
Looking to get rid of my heat exchanger in the worst way and go the radiator setup up front like this. I'm regularly running in the 210-220* range and this is waaay to hot! Your 150*-175* sounds gold. I was looking at the Mishimoto Raptor upgrade (is it PnP?) or go with a Hayden unit that I've used in the past (have built in tstat bypass). Can you detail more of what you did around the heat exchanger (pics?). Did you just disconnect the trans lines to the exchanger and attach the trans hose to them with clamps? What is the hose I.D.? 1/2"?
You say you removed the heat exchanger, what did you do to cap off the coolant lines, or did you just splice the return/feed lines?
Much appreciated!

Where you able to get it to work?So I started off this weekend with getting the Mishimoto cooler installed as well as running the lines down to where I can run them back to the transmission. Since I’m removing the HX, I think an easy way to run the lines is to repurpose the coolant lines to the HX. Going to flush them out, ordered 5/8 lines to adapt to the coolant hard lines, and run them to tie into. I got overzealous with doing the cooler install and didn’t take pictures. I going to try to do this on my own if I have the patience and time. I figured at this point I can still take to a trans shop and have them do this without charging an arm and a leg.
If I do on my own, I’ll try to document for others to follow.
There is a deeper aluminum trans pan out there. Someone posted about it somewhere in this forum.Gotta say before I went through all that I'd be trying to locate a double deep trans pan for more fluid capacity. If that is viable.
