Is anyone running a engine oil cooler?? My 88 has a oil cooler a trans cooler and then the radiator. I am replacing my sealed system to a 2row open system and want to replace the oil cooler why iam their. Does anybody got any suggestions

 

Got pics of your set-up?

 

I can go take some. Its all stock set up right now..

 

So here is what it looks like



















That's what those are right?

The small one is oil. The big one is trans. Then obviously the radiator behind it all.

 

I believe the small one is the optional factory auxillay tranny oil cooler, then a/c condensor, then the radiator.......no engine oil cooler.

 

So I have 2 tranny coolers? The one in the radiator and a external?

 

Yes correct

 

I'm planning on getting a new b&m stacker plate cooler to replace the factory one. To me I feel like the factory one isn't all that large enough to really cool the fluid that much. While i'm there i'll probably turn it into a power steering fluid cooler just because I can.

 

Should be able to follow the lines to it and figure out what its for.

But for sure the big one in front of the radiator is AC.

Little one I don't know.

 

The small auxiliary tranny fluid cooler in front of the a/c condenser is part of the factory "tow pkg". The PO could have snatched it from a donor XJ and installed it. Not many XJs have the factory auxiliary tranny cooler so most folks that add a auxiliary cooler install a larger (than factory) auxiliary cooler.

 

Ya that's what iam going todo. Their is no tow pack unless they took it off. Not sure. I thought it was a oil cooler. I will follow the lines to double check. Does anyone run a oil cooler?

 

What is the part # I have been looking @ the B&M trans cooler.

 

Most people go with the 70268 one. When I get around to it, that'll be the one I purchase.

 

My pic above is a B&M 70264. It's a 1.75" thick core vs .75" core......thicker core means smaller foot print with more cooling capacity.

 

What's the diff between the two?
