You also need a transmission cooler, especially if you do much wheeling or pull trailers. You don't NEED Gears, but they will improve performance and Reduce overall driveline stresses. The AW4 trans runs HOT, Any added stress, just makes it run hotter. Trans cooler will also reduce the risk of Overheating the motor, since the radiator wont have to work as hard cooling tranny fluid.

with the aw4 (auto) it is near bullet proof as long as you keep it cool
^^ is right about the tranny cooler.
if it is a manual as long as it is the ax-15 you are golden there too due to the torque/HP it can handle.

This is the best deal on one and its is also the best design.
that runs around 70 bucks or so anywhere else, its 54 shipped there. Also it is a stacked plate design that cools better than a pipe/fin design. Another added benefit is that there is an orifice in it that will not allow colder/not proper operating temp ATF run thru it. Basically it allows the ATF to get to operating temp before it can cool it.

any extra cooling you can do for a automatic transmission is a good idea no matter what kinda driving you do its a winwin

Should I worry about engine temp with that cooler from amazon or any other coolers I live georgia so it gets about hundred degrees in the summer on hot day and pretty cold in the winter. I know it kinds restricts air to the radiator
