Primary cooling... the secondary radiator only gets airflow when the van is moving; and it is somewhat prone to becoming plugged with mud/snow due to its location. Similarly, having the transmission fluid pass through the same radiator as the engine coolant helps warm the transmission in cold environments.So what are the two transmission lines going into the bottom of the radiator for ?
Not really... they are much more protected than the cooling system is by using oils w/ detergents; they are less prone to extended neglect as well (lack of fluid changes, at least engine oil), and far less prone to harmful contamination from mixing.On this topic, both the trans cooler and oil cooler are now 30years old. Aside from obvious fin damage, is there any reason why these would not be as efficient at cooling as they were on day one? Such as oil or film buildup inside of them?
Rubber transmission hose can be purchased at any auto parts store. I replaced the entire trans cooler with a unit that has a fan.Say I wanted to replace a seeping transmission oil cooler line just above the front skid plate... where would I find said part number to source one?

Is your trans temp high?
