Editorial Review :

Adding this B&M SuperCooler keeps the ATF and transmission cooler, and keeping a vehicle's transmission cool is essential for dependability, especially in performance applications. The unit is designed to be very efficient for its size and weight, to cool much better than an ordinary 'fin and tube' cooler, and to reduce the risk of lube system failure. Using fluxless, oven brazed construction for vibration resistance, it is built out of lightweight aluminum alloy and features a revolutionary 'stacked plate' design with multiple oil flow paths. The unit monitors resistance to flow by allowing a controlled amount of ATF to pass through a self-regulating orifice. Controlled by viscosity, thicker ATF is returned directly to lube through two bypass openings in the stacked plate core, while thinner ATF is directed through the core to cool as operating temperatures increase.

Great built

easy to install with the steel brackets, good quality oil hose, and just about the right length, over 4 feet of it. I believe this under $50 cooler will save me thousand dollar in the future.

Easy to install, effective

This cooler does what's expected of one, I guess... not much to say about it.

It comes with 2 sizes of brass NPT fittings to interface with your existing factory cooler, if equipped. Supposedly there is an orifice bypass which serves to prevent overcooling, I guess that's cool except if you live in Arizona where overcooling doesn't really happen and instead you'd rather have all the flow you can get.

In case anyone wants a reference of functionality, I have a 2001 S10 4x4 with 4.3L engine & 4L60E transmission. On 110 degree days at 75mph my transmission used to run 240F, now with this cooler it runs about 205-210F under those conditions.

Tranny cooler

Again Amazon had the best price I could find. Shipping was fast and it's a fine product.

wrong hardware

I have a 05 Silverado and the fittings that came with the unit did not work. Had to get compression fittings, cut the return line, and splice them in. This would be an easy install job with the correct fittings, without the correct fittings its a real hassle.

Heavy duty

Most people oversize these things. This one is built to be out front of the radiator, where there is little protection. It doesn't have the flimsy fins, it's alot more sturdy. Buy some those pre-drilled brackets and mount it at least a few inches in front of the radiator, that lets some cool air mix with the hot air from the cooler before it hits the radiator. I never liked these zip tie mounts since all the hot air from the cooler will heat up the radiator, losing some of your effectiveness and allowing dirt to build up between them that is difficult to remove. It's easier to mount it in series with the radiator cooler. If you do this, have the hot fluid go to the supercooler first, then into the radiator. Otherwise, buy some extra hose, cleaner, and some plastic nipples so you can seperate the tranny cooler from the radiator. This is the most efficient way of doing the job, but you need to know which hose is the pressure hose and which is the return. A good product, buy it.

Stant 45358 SuperStat Thermostat Stant 45358 SuperStat Thermostat
Price : $12.96 $5.65
Features :
  1. SuperStat exceeds OE performance
  2. Contains larger piston and springs that OE themostats
  3. Better flow control than OE themostats
  4. Stainless steel flange for longer life and strength

Average Customer Rating : Not yet rated

Editorial Review :

The Stant SuperStat Themostat out performs the Original Equipment themostat. Unlike the OE themostats that continually open and close to achieve the proper operation temperature and flood the engine with coolant, the Stant SuperStat has a patented V-notch, non linear design that reduces cycling by precisely metering the amount of coolant needed. the V-notch provides a small initial flow. As the engine heats up, the V-notches gradually open wider, metering coolant released into the system until the desired engine temperture is reached. The benefits of proper engine temperature control are: efficient engine operation, prolonged engine life, reduced oil consumption, improved fuel economy and improved emmisions. The SuperStat uses a high flow venturi for maximum cooling capacity during high temperature high load operation, and employes a patented Weir Valve, for percision flow metering during cold weather light load operation, to ensure stable temperature control under all conditions.The power element of the SuperStat is comparable to those used in the heavy duty trucking industry. It employs an actuator piston that is 25% larger than our standard themostat and 55% larger than competitive products. This larger heavy piston duty delivers one and one half times as much power as competitive stats for enhanced durability and longer life. The flange on the SuperStat is 33% thicker than our standerd product and 43% thicker than competitor's themostats for added strength and longer life.The operating spring is 50% stronger than on standard themostats. This helps return the Superstat to the closed position and provent cold running even under the most adverse operating conditions.

Questions & Answers
Question : Whats wrong with my engine cooling system?
My 1988 4wd toyota pickup has been having some problems with keeping a normal temputer. When i turn my truck on it runs fine but after it heats up to normal temputer, it dont stop tell it gets to almost the redline on the temputer gauge and then it cools back to normal temputer. Also every now and then when i stop in idle(about 1 out of 5 times) the engine stays up to around 2 rpm but i have it set to run at 1 rpm. I rebuilt my engine recently, tryed stock toyota thermostate's, changed my water pump, and checked my cooling system to see if it was pluged. but i cant figure out whats wrong. About once a month i have to add more antifreeze to it so maybe i have a small leak., but i do not know what is wrong maybe the fan clutch or some type of sensor?

Answer:
I would check the sensors and the guage. I think the high idle and cooling problems are 2 different things. You need to do alot more testing to figure this one out. Borrow a lazer thermometer and find out when the stat is opening and what temp the coolant is when it leaves the radiator. That should get you some ideas.

 

Question : is there some problem if car engine cooling incorrect percent ?
I changed my car cooling myself.After that i saw the temperature meter drop down when driving ( goes to low tem. ).of course temperature always under limit. Need help and thank for help.

Answer:
Looks like you have a bad thermostat. when you have a bad thermostat it does not open so the coolant is circulating all the time and does not let the engine warm up.

 

Question : How do you remove the engine cooling fan in a 1999 Buick Lesabre?
I am trying to replace the fan motor, so how long does it take? How many bolts does it have? And is it easy?

Answer:
Here you go. Complete instructions with pictures available here:http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/15/db/d3/0900823d8015dbd3/repairInfoPages.htmY ou can click on the pictures to enlarge them if needed.

 

Question : how do i bleed the engine cooling system on my 2000 sunfire?
i know were the bleeder valve is but the adjustment screw snapped off. i baught a new 1 and now im not quite sure how to go about bleeding it or how to even know whene the bleeding is done.

Answer:
If your talking about the Cockpit in the bottom of the Radiator, it is threaded and can be removed all the way so the Antifreeze will escape. To fit a new valuve in the bottom wsimply screw it in the hole, but make sure you have the right thread patteren.

 

Question : How much does it cost to replace a 1997 Geo Prizm Engine Cooling Fan, with the labor at 60 dollars per hour?
Just the cost of the engine cooling fan and the cost of labor. My husband is being charged $130 for just the fan and labor. I found out that it only takes 1.1 hours to replace it.

Answer:
That doesn't sound too bad but I also don't know what the average labor rate for your area is. Many around my area charge $60-$70/hr. I really wouldn't imagine youare getting ripped off if you are getting the part and the labor for $130.Oh, you're at $60 /hr. Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me. Shops have to make money and that means they have to mark up part costs some in order to do so and they must charge labor. Usually they will use a standard labor tie guide to determine labor. Book time might be 1.1 hrs but if the technician ants to make money he better do it in less time than that.

 

Question : Why does my engine cooling fan come on so often? Coolant may need changing?
My fan comes on allot in my 2001 Hyundai Accent, the temp sensor in the car is reading okay. The coolant may need changing.... what are the results typically if the coolant is getting bad, and the engine is getting too hot? Can my car run rough? Sudden surges in power? RPM's raise high? Thanks!

Answer:
First, the reason the coolant fan come on maybe just a bad sensor that turns the fan on, and off, BUT is contoled by the temp. sensor, Replace the sensor.2nd,...Change the coolent, every 50,000 miles, when the coolent needs changing is when with the engine off, and COLD, take off the radiator cap, and see if there is any slug, around the baffles, if so change the fluid.3rd,...When your engine stars to run HOT, and then rough and the RPM's start to rev. up, it your EGR valve. Cuase... wrong octane, and plugged PVC.. Valve. Change the PCV valve { located on the valve cover,} and you may have to replace the EGr valve. That EGR valve can be pricie, so take your bank book. Good luck!!!

 

Question : How does the engine cooling system on a Hummer work?
I am wondering how the cooling system on a Hummer works.. I have seen it briefly and the engine seems back and inside the body of the hummer and the radiators are where the engine is normally on a truck and they are angled.. and have an opening above the radiators.. does this help cooling significantly? Do they use electric fans to cool the radiators? Or an engine driven fan?If anyone knows where there are some good diagrams of the internals of the hummer that would be great too..I'm talking about the original general production models.. not the pure military or the H2 or H3 etc.

Answer:
Because the Duramax engine has cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation and an internal engine oil cooler, the team had to deal with a big 40% heat rejection increase to engine coolant but were unable to increase the size of the cooling pack between the air-lift brackets that protrude from the hood. This meant dramtically re-engineering the fan system, putting the fan directly under the coolpack and driving it through a new special gearbox, directly off the crankshaft damper pulley. Several other cooling system modifications were required to assist with cold-starting from minus 30 fahrenheit.

 

Question : Where is the engine cooling fan relay located on the 1995 oldsmobile cutlass ciera?
The fan is not comming on when the engine gets hot

Answer:
There are a series of relays along the upper edge of the firewall, sometimes on the right, other times on the left. There are usually 4 or more of them, 3 will be the same. Not sure which one is which. Did you check the fan itself to ensure the relay is bad? Also, did you check the temp sensor that turns it on?

 

Question : Additional cooling for an '89 Toyota RV engine?
I'd like to add additional engine cooling capacity for my Toyota 6 cylinder engine and I'm deciding between an engine oil cooler or an additional coolant radiator located in a space under the camper part of the motor home.It hasn't overheated, but there have been a few times when the temperature is over 100 degrees that I've had to turn off the AC to let the engine cool.It's a 6 cylinder engine with an automatic transmission.

Answer:
I'de check with a radiator shop and see if they can retrofit your rig with a larger capacity unit.

 

Question : 2009 Grand Marquis engine cooling fan starts up in parking lots?
2009 Grand Marquis 1/2 hour after turning off the car and parking it, the engine cooling fan turned on and ran for awhile. Does anyone think it should do this? Wasn't hot outside. And even if it was hot, if the fan turns on every time it is hot outside, for pete's sake, it'll run 24/7 in Florida here

Answer:
This is normal. When you shut off the engine, the temperature in the block will rise because the coolant is no longer flowing. When the temperature hits a certain point, the solenoid kicks the fan on to cool the antifreeze in the radiator and natural circulation (hot to cold) of the antifreeze cools the engine block down to a safe level. the solenoid is controlled by engine block temperature, not outside ambient air temp. Nothing to worry about.
