Just questions my skeptical mind pops up when I read, "Save 10%, but add a cooler for the heat", usually these are two diametrically opposed events.

Hope I don't sound too much like a troll here, I'm just trying to understand it. Thanks.
there is a topic on this forum about the torque converter mod.
i researched the vehicle specific parameters, and it seems that the stock transmission cooler on our trucks would not be up to the task of removing the extra heat caused by the torque converter constantly being on. that said, an after market transmission cooler would remedy this, especially.

if you are questioning this, then you are questioning the validity of newer transmissions implementing better cooling devices, for the added heat of torque converter lockup.
