Think I would be okay if I got a Bosch one, or would you advise against that brand. Also I talked to my mechanic who said its perfectly fine to go from my stock 110A alternator to the 200A so I'm fine with switching now (I think I'll add a sub and some aftermarket light and maybe a train horn since I'll have a bunch of extra power potential lol). ---------- Why I'm on the subject of transmissions, Alfie would swapping my transmission cooler for a larger one be too difficult? My truck came without the factory tow package and during the summer my trans temp sometimes gets to 170* in traffic and on the freeway (also I have plans for things I'll need to tow, already have a hitch installed). I remember DJ on here saying with his he usually sits around 130*, just curious because I know trans fluid starts breaking down somewhere around 200* and I'd like to extend the life of both my fluid and my transmission by keeping it cooler. Also what else does the factory tow package entail besides a tow hitch, 7-pin connector, and larger trans oil cooler, anything else? I think there's another engine oil cooler too right or no?
