I'm Awesome
Last year, I added a second aux trans cooler in-line with the stock radiator and aux cooler (4l60e). I just tapped into the lines that went into the radiator with rubber hose, a few barbs, and hose clamps. It was a quick thing, as I was taking the truck to the sand dunes that weekend.
Before I pull it out of winter storage, I'd like to get correct permanent lines and fittings. Besides cleaning it up and making it look better, I'd like to secure all of the connections and do away with the trans cooler lines that are known to leak.
The aftermarket aux cooler is an Imperial cooler, p/n 240514. I'd like to get threaded fittings for the trans and get rid of the "quick connect" fittings (or whatever they're called). It's been a while since I did this... so I'd also need all of the line and fittings to connect the new (preferably braided) lines from trans-stock aux cooler- aftermarket aux cooler-radiator-back to trans. I hate chasing parts and having to buy/return stuff due to not getting it right the first time.
According to the Q&A of the Imperial cooler, the thread pitch is 9/16”–18 S.A.E. flare. I just don't know what fittings to get for the trans, radiator, and stock aux cooler. Also, what hose should I get?
I realize I'm asking someone to basically do the hard part for me. That probably makes me a ****** person, but I figured someone here has done this before and can prevent me from losing my mind and wasting time returning wrong parts.
