Lol. Probably means an upgraded one.I'd shjt a chicken if any 454 truck didn't roll off the line with an aux trans cooler.

Yea I’m not talking the dinky OE coolers. 40K GVW cooler does the job.
Consider measuring the temperature of the fluid before you go ape-**** on the trans cooler.Yea I’m not talking the dinky OE coolers. 40K GVW cooler does the job.

Anything under 170 is pointless if not actually harmful. 190--230 is fine.
Crap like this was getting pushed on me when I was in trade school DECADES ago. And it wasn't "new" then. So if you look at your calendar, and it's 1960 where you live, this MIGHT be accurate.

^^^If it's 2020 in your town, (or later, as this post ages) this chart is BULLSHIT. Trans fluid, trans seals, clutch material...have all improved greatly since the info in this chart was developed back in the Kennedy-Johnson era (if not the Eisenhower era). YES, there was a time when a transmission with a hundred-thousand miles was considered suspect. Engines wouldn't go that long, either. Not any more.
If you THINK you need more trans cooler...PUT A GAUGE on it, or look at the temp sensor info on the scan tool if your OBD has a trans temp sensor. Keep in mind that the OEM sometimes doesn't turn on the radiator cooling fan until 220 degrees, so trans fluid going back to the trans would be over 200 degrees if it's "cooled" by an in-radiator heat exchanger--and there's nothing wrong with that.
Putting tranny heat into the radiator is silly as the OE cooler is integrated. Also towing 15-20K with that cooler is silly. When I drop 4K into a Stage 3 Billet 4L80E it gets a cooler bigger the better. That’s heat dissipation.
Don't we all.Sounds like you got some learning left to do!
Yea I built a truck smart ass!
OE ran 200-210* as that’s all an integrated radiator cooler can manage on a Big Block! Putting heat in a radiator.
Heavy towing now runs 160-170*
I love you opinions but do you actually have or have ever built anything? Sounds like you got some learning left to do!
