Default trans cooler size?

i need to put a tranny cooler on pronto, just curious of the size you all would recommend.

i am figuring nothing under a 20K gvw, but any input would be great.


thanks

AFAIK You can't run the tranny too cool. Get the biggest one you can squeeze in there.

That is what I run as well. In the dead winter, it does get too cool IMO. It will not even get into tripple digits. Summer time it is 150 TOPPS after spirited driving or heavy stop and go traffic, E-fans on high.
