Is -6 too small of a transmission cooler line? do i need to go to -8?
No, I have -6 how big is the cooler?
It's not overly huge, just thinking about the drive to Moab in September, ill try to dig up a picture of the cooler.
-6 should be fine. It was recommended with my new cooler to do -8 but being a cheap azz and will try -6 fist.
I have -6 as well
