bypass the factory radiator trans cooler?
After hearing horror stories about dex-cool getting the the trans via the internal radiator transmission cooler and killing the trans i was wondering if any of you have tried bypassing the cooler in the radiator and running it straight to an aftermarket cooler in front of ac condensor? I am really considering and want to know if there are any pros/cons.. thanks for any input!

This is how mine is run. No thermal bypass either without any problems. It is recommended to double the size of the size cooler you think you will need when running it this way because air doesn't cool as well as water. So a 40k tru-cool would be sufficient for your application.

I ran a B&M Super cooler, I just took it off to do more mods, I found a lot of trash between the trans cooler and the AC cooler. I didn't have a temp gauge on it so I'm not sure how hot it was getting. It lasted 2 years before I broke the pump out of the housing.
