Ordered a TruCool MAX cooler today. Planning her maiden voyage in April, so, hopefully it shows up before then so I can install it on the Yuk. I'm extremely hopeful that this keeps me in a more comfortable temp range. This will be a sea level/coast trip, so, it will be the absolute baseline data point. It will only get hotter from that altitude.....
I've got one of those on my Tahoe. It made a big difference to trans fluid temps, and I already had the max tow package with an air to air cooler on my Tahoe. The TruCool is about 3 times the size of the OEM cooler.
Also, plan to change the fluid and filter (Dexron VI) more frequently than even the severe duty recommendation in the manual, and make sure to use the quality stuff. This will get you a transmission that lasts a long time.
