John : Get the Transmission cooler. It's worth the time, and money. DON'T use the Rad Tank as a cooler.

Transmissions run FAR better and last MUCH longer when they run COOL.
Anyone saying different, doesn't know

his ass from his elbow. My statement comes from several Transmission
rebuilders, as well as a Friend who has

the record for the fastest 400 Turbomatic in Ontario, Canada. Luddite is
wrong, don't listen to it.

It's too bad you totally missed the subject of this conversation
although it doesn't surprise me.

John was not asking about transmission coolers.

He was asking about an aftermarket transmission pan that holds
additional fluid. The concept being that more fluid equates to lower
transmission temperatures.

Tests have not proven this to be true. All the bigger pan with more
fluid does is increase the time to get up to temp slightly and increase
the time to cool back down.

Everyone here, including me, recommended an auxiliary transmission
cooler, especially for towing. Turns out John's truck *has* one that
was factory installed.

Go practice your bass.
