Yeah but when you get a transmission cooler you are getting it to make your
transmission last longer. Because whenever the Fluid gets hotter than it
is supposed to be, then it starts to ruin your trans slowly. It will make
your automatic transmisson last a lot longer if you are using it for towing.

I thought I would let you know I have a class 3 hitch on my truck and
haul loads from 3,000 lbs (util trailer) to a 5,500 lb horse trailer.
Now I hual these two trailers in the mountins of Colorado along with the
flat lands. Basically when hauling those loads up the passes I just take
it easy and only get join about 45mph up the pass. If I pushed it I
could travel 55, and then I still don't have any problems.
Never has my tran-temp light come on, but to avoid that you want to find
a speed where your transmission is not going to be shifting a lot if it
is a automatic, I find that means just going a little slower.
I think maybe they are trying to sale you something that you don't need.
Thanx, Brian

Unless your putting extremely heavy band equipment in it then you
shouldn't
need one. I have the same size trailer and truck, and I carry DJ
equipment
in mine. I only load it with around 1500-2000 pounds of equipment.
It
has not much of an effect on my transmission. I don't drive on many
hilly
roads though and I don't go far. So unless you live in the mountains
and
your hauling 4000-5000 pounds of equipment and using it a lot then I
wouldn't bother getting one...

OK, guys help. I'm in the process of having a class III hitch installed
on
my 97 4x4 dak with a V6. For peace of mind I think that I should
install a
transmission oil cooler but when I was at pep boys yesterday they had
many
different types. Any suggestions as to what I should get, and if I
should
get one at all. By the way I will be towing a 5x8 box trailer and
around
2,000 pounds of band equipment. Thanks for any help....Matt
