Product Description
Helping your transmission and engine keep their cool.The last thing you need in the middle of a race or a road trip is to have a transmission or engine go south because your oil cooler can't keep up. B&M's SuperCooler oil coolers will keep your transmission or engine cool and running in your time of need. They're made of lightweight aluminum, with an efficient "stacked plate" design. Multiple cooling paths give them the cooling capacity of larger fan-and-tube coolers. And, because they have a low pressure-drop design, there is less oiling-system restriction.

 B&M 70268 Supercooler Review May 12, 2007
Gamma Man (UP Michigan)

The B&M supercooler is worth the extra bucks over a cheaper version. I have another Jeep with a cheaper cooler that works fine but isn't built nearly as solid as the B&M. This thing looks bullet proof. I like the plate design which allows for mounting using the plastic straps through the radiator or if you want to build a mounting bracket there are holds and supplied bolts to do that. I like the low-pressure drop design as well which allows cold fluid to by-pass the cooler so that the tranny fluid isn't over cooled in the winter months.
The install took about 2 hours but I'm very careful with what I cut and where I mount it. The 4 feet of transmission hose that comes with the cooler was enough for me but that is mostly due to the way I mounted it. Mounting it in a different location would require more hose so I recommend that before you take too much apart you consider the location. Transmission hose can be purchased for a few cents a foot at an auto parts store.
In conclusion, I am so far very happy with this cooler. Once we begin pulling a trailer this summer in the heat the full truth will be known.

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.

Comes with all the hardware needed to install.
Good quality part.
This is a bit higher degree of difficulty than an oil change or brake job because some fabrication is needed, but a capable home mechanic should have no problems.
Great built May 29, 2009

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.

It coools the transmission fluid. On my 2001 4Runner. Get 5 extra feet of hose and you're gravy. Don't bother with anything else, this is all you need.
