I just got my new Aeroforce gauge and saw that my trans was running at 190. That was on a rainy day and the temp was 63 outside. Anout a 7 mile drive at light throttle. Couldnt believe it was that high. SO I bought a B&M stacked plate trans cooler. I ended up mounting it infront of the passenger side front wheel behind the for light. Seems to work pretty good so far. Went for a quick 10 mile run. 76 outside and sunny. On the throttle alot and only got to 166. I was running it pretty hard too. I have some pics not sure how to post them here. They are in my member galleries. Let me know what you think.

What kinda fluid does the Marauder use (Mercon V?) and which line is the feed to the stock cooler? I have a cooler I am installing this weekend and doing a power flush while I have the lines open.

The top line is the feed line. Bottom line is the return line. Mercon V is the fluid.

Dont let that tough black shell fool you.

A rock properly propelled will put a hole in that cooler.
I would look into protecting it, otherwise wise choice on the type of cooler.

if I'm not mistaken wouldn't the cooler fit behind the grill in front of the condensor. There should be plenty of room, unless of course there is an intercooler hinding in there.:D It would get better air flow.
