Looking for some help with a project I am working on. I put a trans cooler in my 2016 Tech GT350. Anyone do this job with positive results willing to give me some feedback?
I am using a stock cooler with hand cut -8AN lines and a Weldon K9200 pump. I mounted the pump to the K member on the passenger's side. The input of the pump is connected to the trans drain, about 18 inches away. The input of the pump is lower than the drain, so gravity should keep fluid against the input of the pump.
I primed the pump and filled the trans. The pump was nice and quiet for about 3 seconds, then it got very loud, like before it was primed. If I crack the AN fitting on the pump input or output, fluid bleeds.
The pump is lower than the trans drain, but the pump sounds like its not pumping fluid. I was thinking about going for a ride to get the fluid hot, and then turning the pump on to scan the trans cooler with a pyrometer to see if hot fluid pumps through it... but I am worried about burning up a $500 oil pump.
Any idea what the heck I am doing wrong? Is everything fine and the K9200 just loud?
