(just as a reminder, i sold the car a while ago RIGHT AFTER THIS INSTALL AND A TOW HITCH. i got an offer i couldnt refuse, so i parted ways - but i figured i would do a write up anyway just to add some more content for anyone looking to do this simple mod)

I decided to go with well known & recommended tranny cooler radiator supplier, instead of some ebay supplier from Asia. I am running this in a series along with the radiator tranny cooler. This unit is designed for a Gross vehicle weight to 18,000 lbs. So i figured this would be MORE than enough for my 2002 Maxima GLE. As i posted before with a tow hitch install write-up(posted below), i will be towing mine & wifey's 2 race bikes to the track every couple weeks in the warm months- so this is a great investment.(its even a great investment for anyone who doesn't tow, but spends time in traffic- which i do often to wine & dine HER in nyc lol)
