    This truck is daily driven but as money allows I am building it up to be a more off-road vehicle (Bumpers, sliders et cetera)
    A couple months ago I did a cooling overhaul that included a mishimoto radiator. It has done fine for me but I am worried about developing the pink milkshake.
    My plan is to replace the lines from the transmission (just the soft) and route around the radiator to a standalone trans cooler.
    Hayden 699- about 80$ and is designed with an internal bypass to help the fluid heat up. It opens at ~160.
    While I am at it I was looking to install a trans filter such as the derale

    Any thoughts on this setup? Will the Hayden be enough to cool my trans alone? Anyone have any recommendations?
