We’re the same in the aspect where we like to do our own work. Did all my upgrades myself. Next is headliner, 40k cooler and corvette servo
Thanks for making this video. I have a dump body on 2012 DRW 6.0L and I see 180 degree on some occasions so I am updating the cooler with what you have. When this happens I usually have about 6-7k of weight in the back and it's 90-100 degrees outside.
Looks real clean. In my opinion you should have painted the brackets black so that way you would only see the cooler.
I ran mine to the bottom and cut the single hose they provided in 2. The trans line you tap into makes a U in the bottom and i cut it then slipped the hoses on but either way works
Great little video, thanks for sharing.
Best buy ever i got one on my SS SILVERADO
Hey nice install . I noticed when you showed the gauges your truck has the compass and outside temps . Did your truck come factory with this or did you swap clusters or flash the BCM ?
Helpful post, bro! Just a couple of suggestions to those who want to do a similar installation-- 1. Install both auxiliary hose lines in the correct lengths needed to connect up to the main trans line ahead of time and then carefully pre-fill the entire new cooler and hoses with trans fluid so that the system is pre-filled and will have no air pockets. You can plug the hose ends with a bolt shank or similar so that it doesn't leak out while you're re-connecting. Then carefully take the plugs out and connect to the main line connection points. This minimizes the qty. of fluid needed to add once the job is done and also (as mentioned before) eliminates air pockets in the line. 2. It's up to you, but if it was me, I would remove the air intake tube / box to have better access to the trans line where it connects to the radiator. Overall though, good vid, with easy to understand steps. You do good work on a budget too! Keep up the good work!

Nice one bro keep up the great work bro
I have a 2011 and mine has a little oil cooler in that spot what will i do is it a diffrent way
That return line gets hooked up to what side of the trans cooler right or left side???????
Outside temperature sensor is there behind the grille.
1 On re-assemble do not FORGET to replace the securing'HoseClip' back of radiator when inserting the new Part - No 397 ..otherwise you will blow all of the Trans fluid when in gear! 2 Prefilling the cooler is a wise move, and as the maker notes you DO NOT HAVE TO install with the hoses down, you can go side, either way or on top, it does not matter which way.
Nice!!! Mine just came in can’t wait to installs my temps are typically around 185 and easily get to 200 with heavy foot right now

Could you tell us which side port you connected to the radiator , and the line you removed ?
Can I ask were did you put the right hose from cooler to radiator? Top or bottom of the radiator? Thank you
How much transmission fluid did you add
Helpful vid. Thanks for sharing. In the future, may I just suggest placing the camera in a better position so you aren't blocking the view? Cheers.
Where did you purchase the item from?
After installation What is the trans temp. ?
Thanks for the post man mine usually runs about 200-230°F so this is helpful

I have to get that trans cooler, the one I have now isn’t cutting it. Also I saw that you ran it through the radiator as well can you enlighten me on that?
Was that compatible with your truck?cause I’m looking at them and they all say not for my Silverado. 2007 Silverado 4.8l new body.
What was your temps before and after the swap?
Did mine and decided to flip it the other side up and it worked fine i didnt have to cut it after all , its always good to doubke up on the clamps for good measure i was skeptical at first but fuck it even threw a zip tie over the lip just in case , also bro where did you get the mesh on the grill ?
Do you think it’s worth it for this one
You gonna have to relocate the ambient air temperature sensor, otherwise you ambient temperature will be higher, i make that mistake lol

So how is it working out for you any problems yet......?
Did you get your truck wrapped?
have you noticed any weakness or kinking in the lines when they're up to temp? especially the "return line" at the top of the radiator? cool video btw

I know it's a year ago but anytime you can put air over fluid it will lower temp the silverados have a notorious issue of getting warmer then they should. That's why he made this video. But overall lower Temps are better for transmissions
That fitting you put in the radiator is that bypassing the inner trans cooler in the radiator ?

I know it's old comment but just for people in the future. Some people bypass the radiator all together but that shouldn't be done. The radiator helps the transmission warm up in cold weather.

The single cab work trucks didnt have tow packages, so it wasnt necessary to have one from factory, the truck has everything to tow minus tow hooks and a hitch in the back, so if you plan to tow or race then youll be adding one
Why did you tie into the line on the radiator? Wouldn't you just connect to the lines already out there for the factory cooler
