40K Trans cooler with thermal bypass?

[deerhunter1970]

Anyone used the thermal bypass (thermostat) that comes with the 40K cooler? Not real fond of rubber hoses, but I'm worried about getting the trans up to temp on cold days.

Thanks!

• Some coolers such as the TruCool LPD series include a built in self-regulating feature that bypasses the cooler through the upper two plates when the fluid is cold.

• In areas that have extended periods of freezing cold weather, we suggest using the "Tru-Cool" self-regulating coolers. This will help warm your transmission up to operating temp. faster in the cold winter months.

• If you are in the South there is not as much need for this feature with warmer winters, unless you are adding a very large cooler or bypassing the transmission cooler in the radiator.

• These coolers can be used with all transmissions using 5/16" & 3/8" transmission cooler lines.
