Thread: Trans cooler mounting location options?

Tweet

I don't think I'd even bother using the radiator cooler with a fin/plate cooler with a fan!!!! I've run the fan cooler by itself on many cars and trucks, even a tow rig or two, with absolutely no problems.....

Will you be mounting it with the fan towards the trunk floor, or the fins toward the floor???? With the fan towards the floor, it should be able to draw plenty of air....with the fins toward the floor, I don't think an inch would be adequate.....

I also usually add in a stone deflector in front of the fan, just a little L bracket the width of the cooler, to the assembly....

Any suggestions on which cooler to get?

I was looking at this one...

I guess that would depend if the fan is a puller or a pusher

I figured if I mounted the fins toward the floor with the fan on the bottom, the fan would pull air through gap...

I was actually thinking more of a scoop to draw more air across the fins

" I guess that would depend if the fan is a puller or a pusher "

With DC you can reverse the wire connections and change the rotation for push or pull, all good.

Some fans have fin designs that aren't as efficient when reversed, but I doubt it will be an issue with the one I've chosen since the manufacturer lists them as reversible
