Baby steps.......LOL.
Did like your set up better than the OEM.
Wonder if there is room for some type of fan that could be used on the OEM T/cooler??

Had the B&M tranny cooler installed. Lot larger than the factory one shown in this thread. Haven't had a problem since.

When you are off road, going up steep grades for a long time 4wlo is recommended. Locks the torque convertor, preventing the constant shifting that creates the overheat condition.

I installed a very complete Wrangler-specific Derale automatic transmission cooler kit several months ago into my TJ and I don't see why it couldn't also be installed into your JK. It has a thermostatic switch that turns its fan on at 180 degrees which is well before where the ATF could start getting burned from excessive heat.

Check the writeup out at http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/ke...ooler-1260191/

Available for under $300 from several online stores, it is more than competitively priced with Mopar's kit which does not include a fan.

Jerry, that IS the kit I would buy if I needed one.
The only issue I would see using that kit is being covered with mud.

Lumpy you're in Palmdale/SOCAL/desert, same as me. Where would you or the OP wheel around here where mud is ever a problem lol? The only time I have wheeled in mud was when Blaine J. & I rescued a few kids in their parents Jeeps that got mired in 2' deep mud in a rained out new housing tract. I will NEVER purposely wheel in mud again.

There is plenty after a good rain or snow here.
I've 'wheeled' all over the western USA and mud is/can be an issue. BTDT
