    Tranny cooler vs new rad

    Thanks for the input guys! What my concern is that the auxiliary coolers do or don't do as good of a job as the factory radiator cooler… Any thoughts on that? What size or btu capability are you using? I've never had the milkshake problem on any other vehicle and am curious if it's just a...
