Hi all
I am swapping a 6.5 TD/ 4L80E into a 1980 scout. i am wanting to know from you guys what trans cooler and oilcooler you would recomend? I will not be towing much if at all. it will be a trail rig with 35 in tires 4.09 gears. i plan to keep things as cool as possible. i was think of a thermostically controlled seperate unit for each...

I use a Tru-Cool H7B aftermarket model in my truck which is made by Long mfg, the oem supplier for GM and I believe they some of the coolers for B&M. It was made for engine oil but I used it for transmission cooling and it works very well.

Here are some links to sources:

The lowest cost I have found is here:

And TruCool now has a 40,000 btu version with or without thermal bypass:
