Fix your truck! Come get the front clip!

I vote for not spending tuition money on car projects.
Well the money got spent on the trucks transmission which I rebuilt in an automatic transmissions class I had. In which we all had to rebuild a transmission.

I built one with parts mostly from them. Lol

I've been doing some thinking lately and have run into a minor problem. Air flow to different coolers/devices. The intercooler up front won't be a big deal, the ducting for my air filter will be fine (passenger side inlet) but what about that transmission cooler. There's no way it'll sit in the factory location. Maybe if I turn it to an angle but then what good is that.

My idea for a solution: Chrysler, as terrible as they were with transmissions made a helluva cooling setup on the automatic Cummins trucks. The cooling went as follows: trans. out/hot, heat exchanger (fluid to water/coolant cooler), to front air cooler then finally back to the trans. in/cool.

What does everyone think of this idea? Using the coolant as a source of cooling for the transmission fluid rather than an air cooler?

Unneccesary IMO

Seems like a good way to raise coolant temps.
Btw, got this for you whenever you got time to grab it

Is was simply an idea since there is nowhere else for the air trans. cooler to go.

It sure as hell keeps the 47RH/RE transmissions cool!

Time isn't an issue on the front end, it's the whole not having a truck thing that's phucking me.
