Well i had my mind set on the trucool 40k. But i heard B&M coolers are a direct bolt on setup with no modification needed? What B&M cooler is equivalent to the trucool 40K?

as far as i know, any cooler that's bigger than stock will require custom plumbing. i've been doing a little research into buying one as well.

I think that the biggest B&M makes is a 24K...I currently have a Permacool 17k tube and fin cooler that I will be replacing with a trucool 40K in a few weeks when I swap in my FLT level7 and Circle-D 258mm converter. You'll probably be fine with the factory cooler but why take a chance, even a 20k cooler will be more efficient than the factory cooler and is easy and cheap enough to do..."protect your investment"....words to live by....

Some nice info in there.

Stew is right. Heat can even kill a stock trans, in fact it's the #1 reason for their demise. :nunchuk1: A 278mm reworked TB may be fine, but like others said, it's cheap insurance.
I agree w/. others, even if I considered just throwing in my tranny & stall for a wk. or 2 while I could collect fittings (&/or -AN line if I run it) It's just not worth it tho. I could run the fittings incl. in the TruCool 40k in the meantime.

40K could apply to any co. if they actually offer it. It's a towing capacity of 40,000#. Here's B&M universal cooler stacked plate design. 29.2K is the bottom (their biggest).

You only have to overheat it once to damage the transmission. Do you have a transmission temperature guage? If you are going to risk it for a few weeks at least have one of those. When I got my guage I was quite surprised at what my temperatures were, why GM didn't include a trans temp guage on the half ton 99-06 trucks is beyond me, my truck didn't even have an aux. cooler and was way under-cooled in stock form.
