From what you posted, it looks as though you did a single transmission cooler and not two, am I understanding that correctly? My setup uses two coolers run in parallel. I would recommend doing this. My experiences this summer with the single cooler showed that the fan will be running non-stop in that condition in summer temps. The rest of the year it would be fine, but if you live in Phoenix, high temperatures are a fact of life.

You could try to position the cooler such that it gets more natural airflow, and perhaps try to work a duct to help get more forced airflow. But really, I think a second cooler in parallel is the best option.

Congratulations on completing this! Did you notice any improvement in your engine cooling after the modification?
Hi Ted, thanks for the input. Yes I'm running just a single cooler. I wanted to try one first but I'll look into adding a second one. I agree, that would be the best option and should take care of my heat problem.

I did see a big improvement in my engine temps. On the trip this past weekend I don't think it got over 193.

Thanks again!

That's excellent, and similar to what I observed. The stock cooling system on these really doesn't handle cooling both the engine and transmission adequately.
