I asked because I have a mike L trans cooler and it doesn't look like mine :thumb:

Might have to do with the fact we run at 900+ HP for 45 seconds straight through the Allison at over 8,000' DA. IIRC, we decided to go for more cooling due to the thin air and high HP?

Or it could have been an experiment. Not really sure. There have been lots of stuff tried on our truck that did not end up going to market.

Mike L would know more about it.

Looks very much like the Mike L. Setrab on my truck (with the Mike L. mounting brackets & fittings for our trans lines). I'm running the infamous garage door spring (as Mikie called it) on my pump which drives temps to the stratosphere if your not careful. My stocker just was way to little to keep the temps in check. I run two stock trans coolers as my oil cooler now with a (highly modded for full flow) thermostat controlled sandwich adapter at the oil filter. Got cooooling?

Thank, I didn't realize you had different kits, sizes. My cooler looks exactly like a stock cooler until you look inside the fittings.

Somethings wrong here. My cooler does not look stock. I only have 2 cooler kits. The one you see on Pat's truck and the 6 speed which is totaly different.
I don't know what you have.

hmmmm not sure then. I know i bought it used and called you because it wouldn't fit my trans lines. You sent me new fittings for the cooler and then it worked? Now I don't know what the fck i have. I know it looks EXACTLY like a stocker on the outside. The coil is def bigger though as i can see.....

So Cal.
Mike's cooler looks nothing like a stocker. Here is the two side by side.
