Something to consider is that modern trans coolers seem to be designed for much less viscous fluid to be passing through at a lower pressure. Just observing the transfer tubes it looks like they are a good bit smaller than a cooler designed for engine
oil, especially the weights of
oil that most of us with dinosaur motors tend to run. It would be interesting to measure pressure loss across the cooler just to determine what sort of restriction the coolers of different designs would have with different
oil weights.
In other words David, I know you got that cooler off of the hydraulic system of a front end loader, so go put the dang thing back and get a proper cooler! I’m sure the construction company would like to have it back as well. Frikin Cajuns man!
