several years ago I installed a trans cooler on my 1996 K1500 with a 4l60e. I can’t remember the part number for the cooler but I know it’s bigger than stock.
My truck came with the cooler in the radiator. I added this cooler and ran the lines so it goes into the radiator cooler and then to the aux cooler and back to the trans.
This has worked great for many years however I noticed that it had started to leak as I had used rubber hose and nipples to add the cooler. I had room to cut the bad part of the hose and put a fresh piece of hose back on the nipple.
This will work for now however I would like a more robust plumbing system for the auxiliary cooler but I’m not sure what my options are? I’m fairly certain there are cooler lines for stock trucks that would fit and still run trans-radiator-aux cooler but I’m not sure which lines those are? And if this would be a better option?
Any ideas? Thanks
