[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 747626, member: 6317"] Another area of concern I'd had since I first installed an automatic trans was the temps I was seeing on the gauge. I'd installed a Derale tube and fin cooler with a fan and have always wondered if it just wasn't up to the task so I ordered a slightly larger Derale in the stacked plate flavor and also with a fan. Previously I'd just used rubber hose with barb ends at the cooler and the transmission, but this time around I wanted to swap over to AN fittings and the same hose I'm running for my steering. I ordered one of the Trail Gear hose kits and went to town...it worked out well and looking forward to seeing if it makes a difference in temps I see on those long hills at places like Harlan. Moving the transmission cooler around and with the changes being made to the tcases I'd also removed my exhaust from the down pipe back. Previously I'd had the cooler mounted right behind the driver seat and under my Action Packer tote. The exhaust had a tubular muffler that came up in that same area with the tip turned down right below the cooler. So, I'd also wondered if the previous cooler might have been fighting a losing battle too...constantly fighting the heat of the muffler being so close. This time around I limited myself to one muffler and it is between the frame rails under the driver footwell with the tip turned down at the rear lower link mount. Hopefully I see some improvements with these changes and the exhaust doesn't drive me nuts...I like to drive...not listen to loud exhaust. [/QUOTE]
