    My reply will not help the op with his issue. Years ago, I installed a similar cooler for my transmission.
    Knowing that it is possible to have the radiator portion fail, leaking transmission fluid into the cooling system, and apparently letting coolant into the transmission, I set mine up without connecting to the radiator. Scangage is set up to monitor transmission pan fluid temp. Normal South Florida driving temp stays around 160. Pretty sure stock, with the tow package trans cooler ran about 180/185.

    I did utilize the oem tow package trans cooler and run the power steering fluid thru that smaller cooler.

    Ultimately, the goal was not connecting the transmission fluid hoses to the radiator.
