The biggest cooler from IPT is over-kill. I personally own the 19,000 GVW cooler and love it. It keeps my temps. cool, and I do a lot of brake torquing. However, if you want to be safe, you can go with the 22,000 GVW cooler, but anything bigger than that is not really necessary for a DSM transmission.

Well, yes and no. You don't want to be so cool that it doesn't operate at a normal temperature. All I am saying is, the biggest cooler IPT sells is the size of our radiators. That is not needed. You have to understand, the coolers IPT sells aren't the coolers they offer for DSMs. Those are all of the coolers that they stock for ANY car/truck. You have to pick the one that is practical for your use. The biggest one they sell is for trucks that need to be able to tow tons of cargo. You will not need anything bigger than 22,000 GVW. 19,000 GVW is perfect. 22,000 GVW will give you plenty of safety.

If it's the Long Tru-Cool design that IPT recommends, it self-regulates how much it cools by the way it's made. However, the smallest they sell is for a 14,000 pound load. Which is more than you need by a factor of almost three. No need to get bigger and spend more.
