you have to plug the old line fittings in your radiator and I used big zip ties to attach a tranny cooler to a ford truck I used to have, its easy, just thread the zip ties through the little fins in the radiator. I think when you buy a cooler it comes with the big zip ties.

all of them come with everything to install and its B&M....plus its the cheapest i could find

 

They would all work well for you. The only difference between them is the dimensions.
The first one is the thickest of the three. If you ask me, I would choose to mount that one in a spot other than in front of the radiator. You still want air to easily pass through the cooler and to the radiator. The other two you could prolly mount in front without problems.
That's just my opinion though.
Bobby, yes, the factory radiators also cool the tranny fluid but remember it's already hot with coolant passing through there and has no fins of it's own for air to pass through. It relies only on the radiator cores,which are hot already, to cool the fluid.

 

ok i see, thanks! so you just take off those lines and attach them to the new cooler and plug the holes where u took em out?

 

I got this one hur and the tranny temp gauge from Summitracing.com for around $100. Comes with everything needed to connect it.

 

Yep, that's it...easy huh?

 

lol, i gues soo lol

 

what do ya plug em with?

 

how much pressure is in that hose that carries the trans fluid to the radiator? i was wondering cause the trans. cooler im getting has some hose barbs on it and you just slip the rubber hose over that and use a hose clamp. its not so much pressure it could pop off is it?

also, should i cut the factory metal lines down a little?
im also going to put a oil gauge in while im at it and was wondering, should i put the probe in the line or would i get an accurate reading if i just wedged it into the cooler?
