I had hought a cheapo flexalite cooler for $40 but i just returned it and im looking for something that doesnt look so cheap and will be quite reliable. I see you guys recommend the 70264 cooler from B&M. Best choice for the money?
Its not on the list of coolers for cherokees on jegs atleast. Its on the site just not there when you put in that you have a cherokee. Im assuming it still works without any extra modification?
Im also runnin 33x12.50s on stock gearing by the way. No issues so far though and i have quite alot of hills here.

I haven't installed it yet, but I have a B&M cooler I am going to slap in there soon. Plan on deleting the factory trans lines and run regular hoses and fittings to it. The B&M claims it has a valve to prevent over cooling (at least on the one I bought). I will have to check what model it is. I think the factory setup is stupid my self. I ran regular trans coolers on my starion and mustangs before I got into the 4x4 stuff and none of them ran through the radiator, and I never had "overcooling" problems.

I'm only running on an oem aux trans cooler right now. But temps get up there in the Inland Empire, might have to go with both here before it gets too hot

Have you ever had problems with your trans fluid boiling over? If not, I wouldn't worry much about because the OEM tranny cooler (not all had this option) is pretty effective.
If you're worried, disconnect the cooler and flush it out to make sure it's still clear and fluid flows nicely through it

No I just recently put it in last week. I only drive 11 miles round trip for work. Next week I'm lifting and getting 31" tires. Wondering is if I should combine radiator and aux coolers

Since you're just in the IE and temperatures don't get too extreme, I'd say bypass the OEM radiator tranny cooler. You'll keep the tranny cooler that way than you would having both the OEM cooler and an auxiliary cooler together. I am speaking from experience
