'99 K1500 Suburban "Storm"

[Supercharged111]

The installation instructions want you to bypass the radiator trans cooler in the event a cross leak would occur and gunk up your trans with antifreeze. It'll void the warranty if that happens. I figure worst case, I'll upgrade to a tru cool 40k if this one doesn't keep it as cool as I'd like it to. Plus I'm running a cheap $60 radiator too.

That's dumb IMO, but if you wanna keep the warranty gotta play by their rules. I'd watch the trans temp before going too crazy with the cooler. The reason I say it's dumb is because it's gonna run stone cold in the winter.

After the warranty runs out, and after my current radiator messes up, I'll probably get a Champion aluminum radiator that wknt be as prone to cross leaks. If temperature is an issue in the winter, then I'll route it through the radiator again.

Mine with stock cooling hits 100 maybe 120 empty in the winter.

Got the new trans cooler installed. That was much easier than I expected. Here are some pics of the stock compared to the H7B, and compared to the Hayden Trans Saver cooler that was included with the trans.
I have to unload my new suburban and then load my 6.0 up to take it to the shop.

Provided all goes well, I should be getting Storm back tomorrow! The shop I'm having do the work is a family friends shop we always go to for work. They found out that the last dealership almost crushed my fuel line between the bellhousing and the engine, one of the dealerships stripped a couple bolt holes in the block and put helicoils in them, and my flexplate had cracked.

There is just zero excuse for a shop to pinch a line like that. Truck's on a lift, trans on a jack, it doesn't get any easier.

Leave it to a dealership doing warranty work...
