This is something that I'm working on, posted it on another forum but figured I'd bring it over here and see if anyone had any knowledge to share on it.
I'm looking at doing the bypass before I run out of my 80k mile coverage. Right now I'm at 70k.
My plan is to install a temp gauge for the last 10k miles and monitor temps on the stock set up. Once I hit 80k I'll do the bypass and install some more cooling capabilities and continue to monitor temps.
Here is what I initially plan on using to monitor temps:

Once I get out of the 80k mile warranty I will be doing the bypass no matter what. I'm thinking about removing the stock tranny cooler completely and replacing it with this:

My first question is has anyone tried this? Is there any reason that this wont work?
Secondly, what are the opinions on this set up? To me it seems like this would be more effective than just stacking two coolers together? This cooler has far more capacity than our stock ones. I may have to cut the grill a little bit to make it fit but if that's the only issue I dont care.
I know this has a high price tag. You could make something like this using similar parts:
B&M has a cooler for about 80 bucks that is similar to this without the fan although it is only half as thick
ProComp has a 9" fan for like 15 bucks on amazon
Derale makes an inline thermostat for about 30 bucks
So all this is easy to recreate.
I'm looking for opinions suggestions on this set up, any advice would be helpful.
