Dear Allisonman... I have a 2005 Allegro Bay (W22 chassis with 8.1 Vortec and Allison 1000 series tranny). My transmission fluid cooler sprang a bad leak right at the lower driver's side of the radiator. A local (Jacksonville, FL) Allison mechanic said he'd have to remove the radiator to repair the cooler, but suggested a friend of his who is a welder might be able to repair the leak while in the vehicle. I am sure all the oil will have to be removed and the cooler flushed before a torch can be used, but I'm still afraid of possibility of fire.
I am wondering if I can just purchase a different (OEM) cooler and install it in front of the radiator? If this seems to be a viable solution, can you recommend a model cooler to use...
Thanks very much in advance.
