Based on what I perceive as a common problem (please correct me if I am wrong)of the internal radiator tranny coolers rupturing and ruining the transmission, I have decided to install an external tranny oil cooler.

The problem is that ALL of the external HD tranny coolers recommend installing them in series with the existing internal radiator cooler (install the external cooler after the radiator cooler).

Virtually NONE of the may coolers I've looked at (even the ones for towing up to 10,000 pounds) said they are to be used alone (w/o the radiator cooler).

Obviously, placing an external cooler in series will lengthen the transmission/transmission fluid, but ONLY if the radiator cooler doesn't rupture (which is the reason for adding the cooler in the first place).

What coolers are you all using that are approved for solo use?
