Tranny cooler solves trans reliability issues?

From : roy

Q: just how many are you planning to add i saw the same post 6 times. lol does anyone know if i were to add an automatic transmission oil cooler on my own to my 2003 dakota if it would void the warranty from what i read it would be cheaper to do it myself and does not sound that hard once i figure out where it mounts. steve dault@spamattbi.com remove spam for e-mail --- outgoing mail is certified virus free. checked by avg anti-virus system http//www.grisoft.com. version 6.0.501 / virus database 299 - release date 7/14/03 .

that symptom can be caused by a faulty speed sensor located in the rear diff. other signs of a bad sensor speedo doesnt move till your going about 20mph abs idiot light comes on with the brake light. hth mike could the the computer. my old cordorba would do the same thing for no appearant reason till i replaced the computer. hi group the last couple days my 95 dakota 5.2 liter v8 has been shutting down when i come to a stop. it will start right back up and next time it may be ok. i have had this since it was new and never a problem like this. this has just started to happen and i am worried that it is a symptom of something that may leave me stranded. any ideas thanks al arold al green .

do i understand it right that people with problem trannies did not have a trans cooler. i have 49k miles on my dodge and it has a tranny cooler. so far the transmission is okay. unfortunately i did not change transmission fluid until 48k miles or so. it did look fine however. at times i do tow heavy loads 4000 or so lb boat+trailer but infrequently. i you might first want to install a transmission temp. gauge to determine if you need anything additional. its a good thing to have anyway. you can put an additional cooler on if you feel the need. or put a double deep pan on it and thus increase the amount of fluid. you arent moving much so the pan might do it for ya. it will probably drop the temp15 degrees. ymmv roy roy .
