Since buying a new/heavier trailer (travel/toy hauler) my quest to upgrade my Diff & transmission cooling has run into a few hurdles.
1. Apparently Banks only make their new ram-air diff covers for Diesels OR 2019 & newer gas 2500`s (different`t bolt pattern). Mine being a 2016 is not included, per my call with Banks today. Strike 1.
2. So far, deep pan trans pans are for RFE68, not my 66RFE. Yes there are stock config finned aftermarket pans but a deep pan doesn`t clear the exhaust crossover! Strike 2!
3. As a result, I thought that I would just add an aux trans cooler and a Revmax bypass instead, in searching for plug and play trans coolers it looks like they already came stock on a HD 2500!
The trans shroud covers the inside/back of the radiator, the best I could see there didn`t appear to be an external trans cooler, the cooler in front of the radiator appears to be the a/c condenser.
There is however a 2ed electric fan behind the rad in front of the engine fan. Strike 3?
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW THESE GAS 2500s are equipped stock? Is there a aux trans cooler option? Thank you in advance for any help on my quest!
P.S. I hate that the aftermarket does not support gas models like they do with diesels....
