Engine Oil Cooler
 

Hi, I am looking into buying a engine cooler for my L6 4.0L, I have a '98
GC, is there any specific one that is better than another? What should I
look for? I just hate my Jeep running hotter than normal when towing...
Thanks a bucnch!

First thing is do you have the second transmission oil cooler?
It goes in line with the radiator cooler and sits in front of
the radiator on the left. If you don't I'd go with OEM, it
just plugs in. I'm not a fan of the ones that use plastic
connectors through the radiator.

Oil cooling is another matter. Apart from a remote filter
adapter and all the plumbing, you might be better off with a
three core radiator to replace the two core your Jeep probably
came with (double check the build sheet)

I already installed a three core radiator, it didn't seem to help much, but
some. Is the transmission cooler easier to install, and does it help much?
If so where would I get a inline transmission cooler? Thanks a ton!

Doug,
Where can one access the build sheet ! I believe someone on
this n/g mentioned a Jeep website that had this information available, quite
recently ?

Thanks, BMC
