Hey guys.
I just installed a tranny temp gauge on my 97 ranger. I have the 5R55E Auto. I have noticed that my tranny reads about 180-200 during the day. This is with normal driving around town and freeway. Outside temps are in the low 90's. I would like to get it down to around 170 so when I tow or go up to the mountains I wont put to much strain on my tranny. What is the best cooler you reccommend? How hard are they to install? I am an avid mechanic and feel pretty comfortable installing or fixing things on my truck.
