Tranny cooler in series or bypass ???
Hello,
I am having some issues w/ the tranny heating up. A PML and 9 qts of AMSOIL later, I am still hitting 220-225 when towing up the hills.
My next move may be the dealer. After that, another tranny cooler.
I was wondering if people are setting this up to bypass the radiator or in series with the existing coolers. What would offer the best cooling power?
Does anyone have a good schematic of how the current tranny coolers in the Titan are setup? I have an 2006 4x4 SE Crewcab.
Thanks,
Mike

On a related question, I see people adding a second tranny cooler.
Has anyone replaced the factory cooler with a better one? Is that better than adding a second cooler?
I am wondering if my factory tranny cooler is bad.
Most people here say that when you shift to 3rd, the tranny temp drops like a bomb. Mine doesn't. It stays or climbs a little.

what year is it? if its -07 the gauge can go up to the first white line and its still good... i suggest a better cooler before the dealership..
It is an 06.
I have a BD GT on it. The temp went to 225 on my first towing trip after installing PML.
I live in Phx,Arizona. It is going to be hell towing that trailer up the hills in the middle of the summer if I don't solve this problem.
Any advise on a tranny cooler?

Here is a recent thread about a tranny cooler...

Thinking about this a bit more, if the coolant temp is 200 degrees and the tranny temp follows it closely, the tranny temp should come down a bit after it goes by its own cooler. This does not happen.
Tranny temp was 225 or so even with coolant temp at 200.
I have a feeling that the darn factory ATF cooler may be history. I wish there was a way to validate that.
Plan A for next week is probably to take this truck to a tranny shop and ask them to install a big *** cooler to bypass the factory one.
