    The install diagrams you will find for using an aftermarket cooler in front of the radiator together with the stock cooler in the bottom of the radiator always show the fluid coming from the trans, through the radiator cooler, then through the aftermarket cooler. This always seemed bass-ackwards to me. As you said Roger, it makes more sense to take the lion's share of heat from the fluid with an aftermarket cooler in front of the radiator, then run it through the in-radiator cooler to get the fluid back to the temperature where it will work best in the transmission and torque converter. In my opinion, too cold is just as bad as too hot.
