Upgrading Stock trans cooler
Found this in another thread. You all think this unit would be a significant upgrade from the stock external trans cooler with the tow package?

That will be fine.. Although it may be favorable to get one with a bypass during warmup. Just in case... Granted you live in SoCal, but you never know where you may stay

I have my grill off the truck as I am installing a cutout stainless billet grill this weekend and figured I would ditch the stock cooler and install one of these coolers (even though I do not tow much and even in the hills, in heat, my trans temps never exceed 190) because I would like a cooler with a larger surface area than the stocker and I am going to be installing a shift kit.
I think I am going to get the one with the bypass. Even with winter temps that rarely drop below 38 deg. where I live I will have the truck up in Tahoe and in the snow on occasion and I dont want the truck trying to push sludge through the cooler while I am on vacation and risking damage from being too cold.

I live in beautiful San Diego, and don't have a problem with the cold locally. However, during the snow season, I love to go to Big Bear, Mammoth, Mountain High, and soon; I'll be going to Tahoe and Vegas to try out their snow.
For me it was more of a better safe then sorry.
BTW, I didn't spend more then $60 for my cooler and it's rated for 24,000. It too has an internal bypass. I am pretty sure it was a Tru-cool cooler. I did in my case have to get a longer set of hoses as the included one's were about 10" too short.
