70chevy03ss Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 I was looking on ebay and they have one with a thermal bypass. I live in Mass and it gets cold up here, is that something that I should get?? I am interested in the kit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrtbeat1 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Funny I just found this today. Is this for the Long LPD47391 and if so are these still available? Been pondering how to plumb the cooler and really thought it to be a waste to use AN fittings for such a short run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96vteccd5 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) I plan on ordering the tru cool in the summer so I am down. Edited February 18, 2009 by 05on20's (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmuir Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) I'd be interested in the kit too, as I will hopefully be getting my converter in the next few months. I do live in Vancouver, Canada though and in the winter it gets to about 20* F sometimes so may need the cooler with the bypass. What is the lowest temp you can go without the bypass? Will the kit work with the bypass? ...just saw the date on the original post, don't know if you're still offering these?

misterp Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'd be interested in the kit too, as I will hopefully be getting my converter in the next few months.

Will the kit work with the bypass? ...just saw the date on the original post, don't know if you're still offering these? The bypass can be fit with the lines, will take a little more cutting/fitting. Yes there are plans to offer this kit before summer, I have redesigned the brackets for mass production; still working on a high-volume jig to repeatably/reliably make the pre-bent lines, that took a lot of time to validate each set on my truck! You do not want the transmission to run too cool, it's not good for it. You want a trans temp of 150-170, mine 'bites' best at 155-ish. Anything over 180 starts to really eat into the life of the trans, and anything below 130 you risk water vapor buildup in the ATF. Below 110 and Dexron-III is too thick and the hydraulic parts in the transmission cannot move fast enough, you risk lazy shifts that glaze over friction materials or having 2 gears enganged simultaneously for a split-second on gear changes. In your climate I suggest in the winter you may have to take a piece of tin and partially block some area of the TCMax to keep the ATF temps up. Mr. P.

96vteccd5 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Well I am over here on the east coast. I know it get hot as hell it only a few days it single digits but not for long. I doubt I would need the bypass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
