Underbed Trans Cooler Leaking :-(

Hey...

What have you guys done to replace the Aux trans cooler on these trucks? Mine's pukin' fluid pretty good, and I don't want to just repair it.

I guess the stocker is refered to as a "plate and fin" type cooler...it looks like it would be a bit tougher than a regular finned "radiator" type cooler...anybody know where to find something like the stocker?

Thanks,
Vinny

Summit Racing and Jeg's both have them. They are gonna be a bit pricier than the standard cooler. I would just use a really big cooler myself. They are effective and have way less places to leak.

I used the Derale 15850 Plate & Fin cooler with fan from Summit, and the Derale 15721 thermal switch for automatic on/off.

You'll have to rig a new mount or an adapter to the old mount.
