In-line is the way to go. It's proven to keep the temps more stable, and warm up the engine a LOT quicker.

You're not worried about the milkshake?
I just got a 99 4runner and live in Vegas (115F in summer sometime). since its so old i wanted to bypass the stock radiator, and already picked up a b&m cooler.
also, would an OBD bluetooth ECM reader be able to tell me the trans temp with a cooler, or do i need to install one directly in the line if i bypass the radiator now?
Edit: after reading a few similar threads it seems like running only an external cooler in 100+ ambient air temps may not cut it. i went with the B&M 70264 (14.4 k btu). would you recommend i also buy a new koyo radiator and run the cooler inline??
btw i know i quaoted absalom but anyone feel free to jump in
