I run 33's with stock gearing and do not use od. Just keep it in third and the tranny never gets hot at all.

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.
Every auxiliary tranny cooler is going to require a little bit of modification. The hardest part was finding a way to mount the cooler. But that's as easy as drilling a couple holes and running some bolts. Or you could find a way to zip tie it to something. It's really up to you. But yeah, B&M seems to be a real nice brand around here. I use the 70264 and have had a great experience with it.

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 remember reading that as well. I would say deleting the factory tranny cooler really depends on where you live. If I didn't live in Southern California where it never gets all that cold, I probably wouldn't have deleted the factory cooler. But I'll never have an overcooling issue considering where I live

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

I assume I'll be ok with that setup on the aux cooler alone since thats how it was setup from the factory and I'm not on 33's

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
