The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Hi guys.
I'm looking for a tranny radiator with fan due to a temp rising when I drive home with a consistent uphill during 2 km.
Anyway if the car goes to the track it will be useful too.
Well, I'm searching between radiators with fan included, to switch on manually.
I'm thinking in something like that http://store.summitracing.com/partdetai ... toview=sku
When sellers says that - For use on vehicles up to 22,500 GVW - what they want a say? Is gross vehicle weight?


Thanks everybody.

I have no idea what GVW has to do with it? Don't worry about it. It looks like a good bit of kit to me.

I believe the GVW rating is for towing usage. I'm into four wheeling too and transmission coolers are commonly seen on pickups here in the USA that are often used for hauling or towing.
I'm actually getting ready to put a transmission cooler into my offroad toy, a 1979 Dodge Ramcharger. Nothing fancy like what you're contemplating though, just a standard B&M cooler.
If Eddie has a workable camera, he might be able to take a picture of the cooler in his diesel pickup. If you can even see the cooler, that is

un less your towing a dump truck , it will work, hope it fits!

I have a manual tranny in the Diesel,(6-speed). BTW, I would plumb it after the rad not before, to insure cooling at idle.

Sorry Eddie. Forgot about that.
