I would upgrade no matter what. Super simple to do for not a lot of bucks. Heat is a trannys worst enimy.

Yeah as monmix said, its nice and simple to upgrade. Never hurts.

Yep I agree too. I pull a pop up with mine and I added a tranny cooler and an external tranny filter. Cost maybe 100 bucks total for alot of insurance.

Any certain kind, where to purchase, what size, Etc.

I got my cooler at carquest auto parts and my filter kit at a performance shop in Clearwater, FL. I don't remember the brand. The filter kit was the hardest to find, if you call around it's called a remote oil filter kit. The filters for oil and transmission are the same. Mine takes the same ford filter as my engine. So when I do the oil change I just buy 2. I use Bosch filters because they are high quality filters and they are black so its harder to see from the front.

Definately add an extra cooler, preferably a stacked plate style.

Take a look at http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=127283&highlight=B&M .

Also give thought to full synthetic ATF too.

B%M is a top line to look at.

Yes! Aldives thread is what I used to do mine. I printed the pic out and brought it out with me to set mine up. A tip that I found. To mount the remote filter I went to home depot and purchased a metal light box cover to allow more surface to mount to the cross support. (Hard to explain)
