Tranny cooler or deep tranny pan?

Post #1
I did a couple of searches and can't find what I'm looking for. I have a 2011 1500 4x4 Hemi Crew with 4.56 gears on 35s. I regularly tow 7000 lbs on the weekends (car hauler w/ off road rig). I have never had a problem keeping the transmission cool, but will soon be installing a higher stall torque converter and want to keep temps down as much as possible.
I know on the 3rd gen 1500s you could replace the 1500 tranny cooler with a larger one from a 3500, but from what I've read, all the 4th gens 1500-3500 have the same tranny cooler/ac condenser combo  So what are you guys doing to keep the transmissions cool in the 4th gens while towing? Adding a second tranny cooler, deeper transmission pan, etc.? Please limit answers to 4th gen only applications since the combined tranny coolers/ac condensers are different from the tranny coolers found in 2nd and 3rd gens. Thanks.

Vinch - did the B&M cooler you use have the integrated fan or was it just the plate and fin design? I looked at B&M's website and kinda like the idea of the integrated fan because it says it has a built in thermal switch to activate the fan when the fluid temperature reaches 175 degrees F.
Do you remember what size yours was, the 10x7.5x4 or the 13.5x9x3.5? Thanks.

10x7 no fan staggered it in front of the existing cooler only downfall was it took the trans longer to get to operating temp on COLD days. I would stay away from the pan seperate cooler is a lot cheaper and was a easy Mod to do
