Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Heat Exchanger Removal???

[justinp20012500]

I am trying to stuff a BHT3B (TWINS BABY) and the stupid trans/motor heat exchanger keeps getting in the way. Has anyone successfully removed this "stupid ideas of dodge"?????



I am looking for parts/info on how it can be down. I will replace it with another trans cooler of course...

Call Piers, I know you have to remove it for his twins. Maybe he can shed some light and or provide some parts.

plug the coolant lines or loop them together, run the transmission lines to a big plate/fin cooler up front.

I took the heat exchanger and matched the fittings and built a setup with (2) fittings, (2) 90's and a piece of 8AN to tie them together, then supported the lines with insert clams and the bolt holes machines in the block... . going on near 2 years now..... no issues.

i plan on removing the exchanger on mine too along with all the OEM lines and front cooler.

i ordered this cooler to mount under the bed and will be using high pressure rubber hose for input and output. been thinking of doing it for a long time. tired of watching the trans gauge rise real quick at a long stop light etc. should be here today.
