well, if you have an automatic transmision, you need the cooler, if manual, you don't


why pay $600 for a fancy one that you can't see, I have no clue

you could get a stock replacement for around $150 or less

Re: Radiator suggestions

the stocker is good for about 700+ HP, and temps up to 130 degrees outside. but, if you wanted that radiator, get an add on tranny cooler from autozone. i paid 40 bucks for a hd one for big rigs. it's about half the size of the stock radiator.

"edit" make sure you get the aluminum stock replacement one, not the copper. copper sucks.
