Bypass radiator/tranny cooler combo?
Hi all. I have a 2005 Yukon XL Denali and wondered if anyone else has had success doing a radiator bypass for the tranny lines, and just using an Aux cooler on the front? Issue 1: From the factory...

I don't think it's more than I've thought about. if I did the bypass I'd probably hook it back up if I ever sold it to someone else.
For my situation...I only use the Yukon for trips/towing, the rest of the time I drive a car or my van, so my purpose is very specific. I also have it garaged with insulation, always 45 degrees + here.
My biggest beef with running the tranny fluid through the radiator is the damage it can cause if it cracks internally. Do a little googlin' and you'll find countless threads with this. It's like built in obsolescence IMO.
