Default Tru-cool 40k report

Haven't posted in a while, but still lurking on a regular basis.

Just wanted to give a nice report on my Tru-cool 40k trans cooler. This morning on my way to work the ambient temp outside fluctuated between 46-49*. I have a 30 minute drive to work that is 90% highway driving and my trans temp never got above 104*. I also romped it once getting on the on-ramp.

Just wanted to give a thumbs up for a great product.

No, but I would like to sometime. I'm a little worried about my drive shaft though. I've heard too many stories of drive shafts going kaboom above 100 mph.

I think there is thread floating around on here a guy started with similar mods as me that put down like 396?

I guess its just luck of the draw or ticking dime bomb. I have had my 130-140 more times than I care to count with out incident but thats not say it will never come. I am actually already in the process of buying a aftermarket drive shaft just to be safe but till then we shall see I guess
