Separate cooler and electric fan from the radiator and fan. Never had an issue since.

I run a 2 row trans cooler with a fan & I run AMSOIL Trans fluid. The Fluid dose help with the heat.

^^^^^that's about the same one I got.  But I run a cheaper fluid.  LOL

[4x4xdodgeman]

first buy a good converter!! 80% of the heat in the trans is form the converter. 

[Boggen Joe]

I am putting in a FTI MR convertor.
Those are the tube n fin style coolers. Any advice on the plate n fin style or stacked plate style?

I run an ac condenser out of my old blazer for my trans cooler.

I run a  deep pan and a cooler W/ fan

Running in 4low helps with the heat. Bogging in high gear heats them up quick. But I mean, naturally with a bogger the trans takes a beating. All you can do are add band-aids to slow it's inevitable death. Lol

Ps. Next time you get the trans overhauled, I prefer to put the grooved (waffle) clutches in. Yea, some people say that you loose clamping area, but it helps the fluid leave the drum. With flat clutches, sometimes the oil will get trapped, and partially apply the clutch. It burns your clutches up, creates heat. And all that clutch material can prevent the fluid leaving the drum even worse, then eventually needs new clutch and/or another overhaul. But that's all worse case. Most important part of the clutches is having the pack clearence set right. If it's right you really shouldn't have a problem with stock flat frictions not disengaging.
But that's just my $.02.  I just spend the couple extra $ on performance clutches that are made to handle more heat. Good for bogging.

Yeh I'm thinking of going with all the Fti rebuild stuff and man valve body 34element

You might already know this, but I'll say it anyways so other people can see it. When using a 34element roller clutch, you have to change the clutch drum to a 34 element drum. The drum is part of the inner race.  And if you have a sprag instead of a roller clutch, it's possible to put the sprag in upside down, and the trans will lock up.
But with the roller clutch, it only goes in one way, it's impossible to put in wrong.

we use old ac condensor and haven't had much issues with overheating now thry hold lots of extra fluid

[Blazin40s]

I run the one from summit that is for like a 35,000 gvw truck.
