    would you add an additional transmission cooler?

    thanks everyone. my current cooler is the derale 13960 rated at 46,000 btus per hour. the temp gauge is stock and im assuming the sensor is in the pan area. i will look into a deeper pan the only concern i have is getting it around the exhaust. the one i have now just fits if i remember correctly.

    steel rims out of round?

    no its the rim. both back tires look out of round tho. tire shop wont take responsibility as long as i have steel rims. they could be correct. are alloy wheels better? i allways thought they where best regarding looks and weight. tire shop says they are built better and stay round and true better.
