Will there be any issues mounting a cooler higher than the dip stick on an auto trans? The only place I have for a cooler is kinda high, and I am worried that it will puke fluid. Any one mounted one that high, and would you do it again?
 
Mine is mounted kind of high between my seats. It is above the top of the dip stick. No problems so far.
 
Mine was mounted behind the cab, higher than the dip stick. I never had an issue with it.
 
No, you'll be fine. If you install it then fill the transmission until it pours out of the dipstick, then you'll have problems. :flipoff2: It would come out of the vent first anyway.
That being said, no way I would wheel something I cared about without a locking transmission dipstick.
 
Make sure the lines point sideways or up, so it can purge the air. A tube style (not stacked plate) might purge on its own, would just depend on tube sizes etc..
