If your in a climate where it gets cold you should get one with a thermostat on it
Some transmissions like the 545rfe on the crd don't allow locking the torque converter untill the transmission reaches operating temperature

I want to buy an auxiliary transmission cooler. Can anybody suggest a model that will give me the most bang for my buck? Also when is the best time to install one? Around 30k miles when I drain the fluid? Also why am at it should I get some of HD hoses All J’s sells? |

I think you would buy the cooler based on your needs [size, cooling capacity and attachment methods] They are a great idea and the sooner you install it the better. |

I installed a Hayden cooler also,one ment for a 28,000lbs GVWR RV,did it when I had about 200 miles or so on the KJ,paid like $30 for it.AS far as the hoses can't tell you,I change my hoses about every 30,000 miles anyway along with the t-stat and the coolant(about every 3 years). |

Thx guys, why I am at it should I get a power steering cooler. Anybody have problems with the power steering overheating on a rough trail? I am trying to prevent problems before they start. I plan on wheeling a little harder this summer. |

I don't do much trail riding, but I do a lot of towing and haven't ever had a problem with the power steering fluid. I know that I have the extra cooler or what ever, but I don't think it's been really benificial in my situation. I would worry about the transmission cooler first and then later down the road you can do the PS cooler if you think you need it. |
