Oil and tranny coolers

[PoorPetrie]

Hey everyone, I'm at the point where I need to get my oil and trans coolers. What are yall running and how do you have them mounted to your bed cage?
Currently I'm just running a stock 5.0 with 4r70w trans. I don't know if it will stay, or get rebuilt. But I want to get something that is adequate for 450hp. I don't want to have to budget new ones when I throw HP at it.

@85Yota Do you have any suggestions?

Debating going with a set of Derale hi-flow coolers.

This one is not baller, but cools the 4L80 in the tow rig great!
37,000 BTU/hr and not too expensive

I would not go with any stack plate style cooler. I personally have ran a fluidyne cooler i got on ebay years ago. It was all aluminum and had tanks and fins like the CBR performance ones. I personally any running a Titon Engineering Race Cooler since Igor makes amazing stuff and the cost was not any more than the CBR performance coolers. Plus they were in Camarillo so I was able to pickup to save any shipping costs. Run the largest cooler you can afford and fit on the vehicle. Can't have too big of a cooler and if it's running too cold just turn off the fans.

I ended up placing an order through Summit earlier today for 2 Derale Hi Flows. They seem like a new item that they have put out, so maybe untested? I did look at the CBR Large Off Road Cooler, but with a discount it was $300 a piece difference. $600 total is like 3 tanks of gas.. Very well could be a case of buy twice cry trice, but i haven't talked to anyone who's tried them out yet. Figured I'd be the guinea pig. Also ordered a Pyrotect fuel plate for when I build my fuel cell.

 

[85Yota]

Yeah that style derale cooler should be fine for what you're using it for. Worse case, sell them and buy a bigger better one

 

[Matt_Mooney]

What stall converter you plan on running?

 

[85Yota]

Yeah a higher stall converter will create more heat than a more powerful motor

 

[PoorPetrie]

Oh I didn't even think about that. Right now its an all stock 4r70w, I'm not even sure which stall converter is in it honestly

 

[85Yota]

If it's stock converter that will work fine. If you're spending the cash to upgrade to 450hp then what's a little more for new coolers if needed
