TruCool 40k

I have an 05 tahoe, just put on the trucool 40k, wondering since I live in arizona would it be beneficial to bypass the radiator Trans cooler?

No id run both I have it hooked up through the radiator and trans cooler and my temps stay around 165-175 in the summertime

that would kind of be like taking a step backwards, you add a cooler and then remove one....

My Tahoe diddnt have a external cooler I have to T the line to add my cooler on it if I find the pics and yours is the same I’ll send em over to show you how I ran the lines

Ok thank you, I was curious cause I read that some people bypass it if they live in hotter climates. I don't have a trans temp gauge but I feel like its running better, have noticed that the engine is running slightly hotter at idle.

Shouldn’t have messed with the engine side of the temps?
The 40k is a great cooler my truck would stay around 205-220 and after this it’s stay around 165-175 even when I’m ******* it and when I towed the highest was maybe 185-190 pulling a truck and car trailer so that’s some cheap insurance imo for 100-150$ to help prolong your transmission life

Unless it's blocking too much of the radiator

Update: I didn't take pictures when I first finished the install a couple months ago, here they are now. Any input is appreciated
