i mounted my rad in the bed of my truck and that works great but i seem to be overheatin my tranny . I ran the tranny cooler threw the rad and then threw the cooler . i ran some trails and some bogs prolly a total off about 8 -10 runs total . my fluid is burnt and its lookin as if im loosin low gear . so i guess what im askin is how or where do i mount my trans cooler and should i use an aux. fan on the cooler and bypass the rad ? thanks yall .
put the trans cooler under the hood, without running it thru the rad. i would put a fan on it, but YOU MUST HAVE A SHROUD FOR IT TO WORK!!!

my dad builds these for race cars, they do work!!!
change the fluid first! then remount and use a elctric fan to cool.
X2 ITS SOUNDS LIKE IT'LL WORK TO ME
i was kinda thinkin that but ive got one more run so ill change the fluid and run it one more time . thanks yall
i have mine in the back of my rig through the exturnal cooler on rad in the back. and have the fan from rad pull air through, and have no trouble
I think part of the problem is the transmission itself. It sounds like your first gear clutch pack is wearing out or your front pump is not suppling enough pressure to keep the clutches from slipping. This slipping is what may be turning your fluid brown.
Install a transmission temp. gauge and you will know when you are having problems before you melt the tranny down.

i have mine under the hood on the side of the inner fender well without fan for it like econobox said i would assume it the transmission that causing it to over heat
ok well figured out the problem im an idiot i was runnin without the fan on till the engine got warm duh . and i remembered that chryslers dont flow in park only in the rest of its gears . so im gonna run for the rest of the season .
You may wanna get your trans checked out this winter though.
im gonna rebuild and do some mods over the winter
