![]() ![]() The radiator is like a pre-cooler for the aux trans cooler and will always be COOLER than the hot oil that was just went through this massive hydraulic pump and gearing and the MASSIVE heat generated from even a mild stall convertor.īut to each their own, that is what makes this hobby interesting, everyone has their own unique ideas. The fluid coming out of the trans is EASILY over 240° once your warmed up. Agreed it would be a very short time before the in-radiator cooler startes being a 'cooler'. Cold wear isn't a good thing on your motor or the trans. Here is a great page for sizing the cooler (in series with the radiator or as a stand alone cooler) And it doesn't mean my ideas are any better for you than any one else's Just food for thought here, I don't know of anything mechanical with tight tolerances (measured in thousandths of an inch) that works and wears well when it's operated cold, or when the lubricating oil is overheated.īut to each their own, that is what makes this hobby interesting, everyone has their own unique ideas. Then it cools in a aux cooler to really loose some heat. The temps coming out of the trans are hot enough to fry chicken! The steel lines themselves act as somewhat of a cooler, the in-radiator oil to water cooler is a excellent cooling medium,much better then oil to air of the aux cooler. If you want to see how hot things are really getting, put your temp probe in the OUT from the trans, and not in the side of the pan like most of us do. Something with a good 8" minimum fan and a thermister switch.i.e. If your going to use a aux cooler as a stand-alone trans cooler, I'd highly suggest you consider the PLATE type and not the fin-tube aux coolers. I believe all of the directions for the fin-tube aux coolers say to install AFTER the radiator, and few say it can be used 'in place of' the radiator cooler. The radiator is like a pre-cooler for the aux trans cooler and will always be COOLER than the hot oil that was just went through this massive hydraulic pump and gearing and the MASSIVE heat generated from even a mild stall convertor. ![]() The servo tested good and the flap turns easily. It's little bracket seems to have rusted off right at the manifold. The fluid coming out of the trans is EASILY over 240° once your warmed up. 5th gen EFE (heat riser valve) I'm in the process of replacing all the vacuum lines on my 1985 5.0 and I followed one down to the EFE valve on the passenger side exhaust manifold to find the vacuum servo dangling by it's linkage. ![]()
