Default tranny cooler

I would like to install a tranny cooler over the winter .Has anyone done this yet I have been looking on Summits site . There are a ton of choices. Iam a little worried because my wifes brother bought a cooler from a parts chain store and installed it on his Jeep and within 15 mins. cooked the tranny it turned into a long drawn out ordeal and the parts store paid to fix everything when it was found that the cooler was made wrong and had a partial blockage. The parts store said the mfg. would pay them back. I thought someone out there might be pullin a 50 foot trailer and had installed a cooler. Thanks in advance for any help u can all give me.

We have tranny coolers on ours cars already. They seem to be pretty efficient and fit real well in the nook just below the condenser. Your option would be to get a larger cooler and actually put it in front of condensor (it may interfere with IC however) or run another inline TC and mount it on the frame somewhere.
I would like to see someone make an aluminum spacer block for the 41TE pan to extend the pan down and increase the tranny's fluid capacity. This extra fluid should help it run a little cooler.
