Auxiliary trans cooler on 2006 5.9 3500 ???
#3
My trans has Goerend billet triple disc con. Billet input shaft, Goerend valve body and also their deep pan. I tow a camper along with a electric golf cart in the bed. I have had this cooler on the shelf and want to use it. I need to mount it under the bed and run a line from the rear hose (return line) to the cooler then back to the trans if I am not mistaken. My cooler has an electric fan and temp sensor, can't hurt 😉 just need AN fittings and hose.

Several years ago I installed a trans cooler (with an electric fan attached) right next to the driver side of the transmission. I fabricated the necessary brackets to install it flat (horizontally), with the electric fan on top. I tapped into the "return line" to the trans, cutting and flaring the ends of the cut lines with the necessary hardware (union type fittings). I then used flexible stainless steel braided lines with AN-10 fittings, and attached to the cooler. I wired the electric fan to a relay, then to a rocker switch that has a blue colored LED light that illuminates when I turn on the fan. I only switch on the fan when I pull my rather heavy 5th wheel travel trailer in the mountains, or summer traveling through the deserts of the southwest. Works very well for me, and my trans runs at a constant 165-170ish when driving the flats, and NEVER goes over 185* when mountain driving, with the trans cooler fan on.
