I dont think comparing two HXs mathematically for our application would be unrealistic at all. We want to know Q, the heat transfer rate. This allows us to make an informed buying decision. Maybe the Hayden works great in 97% of situations for a good price. Maybe, as some have suggested, traveling up grades in higher temps, at higher elevations, the Hayden could become heat soaked. I usually don't just run out and buy something just because someone else said it worked. Trust, but verify. What kind of engineer would I be if I atleast didn't think about this a little.Such is the value of empirical observations. I often encounter other engineers whose analyses clearly don't reflect reality (i.e., a structure that has fine performance is at risk of imminent failure). My usual response is that their calculations are clearly wrong, yet they tend to believe their calculations over reality!

If nothing else, that expensive cooler looks bad ass. Really though, I think I like it better because it's made in the USA, I'll be happy to pay more for that, the cool factor is a bonus.![]()
@Acrad apologies Dyslexia’d your post. Should have known not to question anything you post![]()
As another engineer chiming in, hence one or two tests are never conclusive.Such is the value of empirical observations.

That’s me. Went to Michigan last weekend and returned in a brutal crosswind and with high heat and humidity. Coolant temps refused to go past 91°C. Trans got as high as as 95°C but usually was near bang on coolant temps.Hah I installed one and it runs cooler, calculations done
I have seen from a few folks with CSF radiator without an added cooler(or Hayden) it does seem to run a little cooler than stock.
R95/C95 is how I’ve usually referred to it.As another engineer chiming in, hence one or two tests are never conclusive.
In the medical device industry, we usually test 95/95 confidence and reliability which equates to 59 tested samples (usually rounded up to 60).
It works this way: So, for example, if a process has achieved 95/95 confidence and reliability, you know that you can be 95% confident that 95% of the units in your population are good.
So in our case we'd need a whole bunch of us running the exact same setup and then do the analysis.
Yeah, I'm kind of in the weeds here.![]()
Many scanners can reset the ATF thermal degredation estimate.
I used a Launch Creader Elite V2.0 to reset it
Read the first paragraph: https://blog.amsoil.com/ask-amsoil-mixing-amsoil-lubricants/Are there any issues with mixing Amsoil trans fluid with the Toyota trans fluid?
As I mentioned in my build post regarding the transmission service, my transmission guys says as long as it stays under 300ºF, no worries. Low to mid 200º'F is very normal and acceptable.I'm 4500 miles into a cross country roadtrip. I have the OEM aux cooler and I've pinned the thermostat. The tranny pan temps have remained under 190F for most of the trip and crept into the low 200s under heavy load, even with ambient temps of 100F+.
I'm currently in Moab and while running the Fins and Things trail it stayed below 200F.

yes thank you. I used that information to baseline/verify the response chatgpt gave for our model. its response was consistent with the information in the FSM, so I took that as a sign that it knew what it was talking about for the other trans.@llm FYI: The grid I posted above is directly out of the FSM for the 460 AT
