Benn,
The oil to water heat exchangers in the average radiator works fine if you
don't ask it to deal with more heat than it's design called for. You can't
use a Honda Civic radiator on a Kenworth.
A stock oil cooler will handle up to about 6-8KW worth of heat.
But --- the torque converter of a big old 460 Lincoln can generate a peak
30,000 to 40,000 KW worth of heat getting a heavy load rolling.
That said, I would never pull a trailer with a anything but an automatic.
It is so much easier when you get in a tight spot. Right foot on the gas
and left on the brake. Piece of cake.
Bryan
