dl11sec70dodge Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 So i had the front grill off and saw the smallest trans cooler ever, it's got to go! Ordered up a perma-cool unit w/fan& thermo switch. Trying to save some money in the long run. Will start the install this weekend. Any one else changed theirs on the Vmax?

Black2003SS Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I changed to a B&M and it only made about 10* difference in similar conditions. I also have efans that run almost all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have efans that run almost all the time. are you running a fan on the cooler itself? We did a b&m w/fan on my brothers d-max and it dropped the temp from 210 to never above 170 while towing!

dl11sec70dodge Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) OK half way done, cooler install finished but still waiting on thermo switch wiring harness(had to reorder). Little more then a slight rebend to get the hard lines ligned up right... just elbow grease Edited August 6, 2007 by dl/06MAX/bluegranite (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nxtnlne Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Looks good. Did you have to cut the lower cross support? Nice color by the way I think we are the only VMax's I've seen with the blue. What color is your interior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl11sec70dodge Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 light gray leather interior, love the color. and no i didnt have to cut the support just the ends of the steel lines, also wired in a thermoswitch from permacool adjustable set to 160, let me know when you want to do yours.

nxtnlne Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I went to do the trans service this last weekend but realized that the Gm gen. 6 trans fluid is synthetic. Service not needed till 50,000 miles I won't be waiting that long but I have other things to save for right know. Your about 80 miles away thats not to bad!
