    As far as your trans temps go, when was last time your fluid was changed? If it wad me I would just ad an external air trans cooler somewhere, disconnect the current tranny cooler lines and run new lines to the air cooler. Only because you dont know why those lines were cut.

    Itll be fine........ depending on what your pulling and HP you can probably take it off all together.

    Unless your grossed out at over 100,000 lbs or more with 550hp , just take it off.

    I answered your question already.

    With your HP and gross weights you dont need a cooler. Just take it off.

    If your waiting for others to chime in and say the same thing , fair enough.
