Hey John, Have you got that beast running YET! What kind of trans cooler did you get? If I were you I would take the radiator out of the picture and just use the trans cooler. Why generate extra heat to the radiator. The front line on the trans is the preasure side. The back line is the return side. The trans cooler is nondirictional, but a good thing to do is put an inline oil filter like a single PH-8A screw on type coming off the preasure line an add a oil temp sending unit for a trans temp gauge. So it is just a big loop from front preasure line to rear return line. Goood Luck ! Hank Out!

Hank, You are god send!!!! I wasn't sure what to do and it seemed as if

I couldn't find the answer.. So, do I cap off te trans line ports on the radiator...

I have a standard typ trans cooler that it came with so I will just use that.

But I will do as you say and get the presure hooked up w/ filter and a temp unit..

Thank you oh so much... It is very close to running I just taking my time to avoid misstakes. John
