As there is lots of thoughts on whys, why nots, sizes, line routing, bypassing stuff, cooler before heater, cooler after heater etc etc .....

How about a collection of info in the one thread including links to past threads and posts on oil coolers.

I'll start with this.

The red and blue colours denote coolant temps,
The long thin pipes are the tranny line connections.

Very interesting,......I've got a ZJ Grand Cherokee Limited 4.0 , and it's got ( the original fitment) radiator which has the U.S. arrangement of in-tank auto trans fluid cooler on the COLD side - i.e. our passenger side -..........

I also noted that Natrad make an ALL METAL version of the XJ radiator.....I'll now have to check out whether they make one for the ZJ........ I thought I'd have to fork out big dollars for a custom made all aluminium type when my plastic tank finally carks it.....but with coolant maintenance schedules kept to religiously, it's lasted 13 years and 230K klms.....unlike the waterpump which seized up spectacularly last year 8K klms ago without ANY warning!
