Should Factory Cooler of Vehicle Be Used With a Supplemental Transmission Cooler or Bypass It
Question:
Is it better to run the sink through the radiator first or have the sink as a stand-alone from what I have read the cooler in the radiator gets it I operating temp then the heat sink will cool it down but some say skip the radiator and use the heat sink by itself my heat sink is a 20 inch derale dual pass

Expert Reply:
The ideal setup is to have the fluid go first through the cooler that is mounted in the radiator of the vehicle and then to a supplemental cooler like the part # D13265. Some people will use coolers like this as a standalone but if your factory cooler is working well I would recommend continuing to use it along with the # D13265.
