Can you guys please... make a video about the bypass valve piece.
This will fit a 2016 silverado, 5.3, z71?. I have painted metal bumpers on mine, i assume the grille will be a little easier to get off?. I have no plastic pieces on my bumper.
This transmission cooler should fit your truck without any issues.
I did my install today on my 2017 GMC Sierra and after watching the video the part thats the hardest is getting the damn trim off between the bumper and grill. Sort of skip through that on the video. A little more details on removing the trim would have been nice.
Temps after?
@@teddybesplitinlanes5500 I also deleted the thermostat by installing a 1/4 pipe plug in place of the thermostat, so now I'm constantly circulating oil through the cooler (easy to do and you can find videos on it). Running around town without a load and short runs on the freeway temps haven't exceeded 120F with a 70-80F ambient. 90-100F same conditions but now cooler out ~40F. I haven't pulled anything substantial with the truck since the upgrade but its got to be a lot better off. The key is removing the thermostat as by the time it opens the temps run away. I got interested in this when my buddy with the same year truck cooked his tranny hauling a small tandem enclosed trailer through the mountains of Tennessee.
I have a 2016 Custom with the 4.3, my radiator is different then the one in the video. Is there a kit for my truck..?
Unfortunately, we do not currently offer a 4.3L specific cooler. We apologize for any inconvenience!
This unit would of course be an add on aid aside from the original method of cooling oil through AC condenser correct? Ultimately having two methods of cooling oil ? Meaning when installing the mishimoto oil cooler, fluid will still flow through AC condenser and this unit in the video correct ?
Transmission fluid will not travel through the A/C condenser.
It cancels the original cooler that is the top part of the condenser.
Is this correct? The installation of this cooler canceled the original condenser integrated cooling? I would like this clarified please.
Idk why but my transmission on a 2015 Chevy 1500 gets hot. I put in a new thermostat that activates at 154, I changed the fluid and yet it still gets hot. Anyone have any idea’s? My trans isn’t slipping and my rps ain’t bouncing around like the TQ is going out.
Hello, if you have a this cooler installed and you are having issues, we would suggest reaching out to the team at support@mishimoto.com and they can look into this further for you.
Experience the same thing no one seems to know anything
It is due to the AGS in the front of the radiator ... GM (in its stupidity) make the trans warm to the engine temp for smooth shifting. Engine/Trans logic keeps the shutter closed for both aerodynamics and for temp to hit the target. You have to up your trans maint cycles.

@@mishimoto😢
Installed the transmission cooler today without the bypass valve delete and went on a long highway drive with 90 degrees outside. Transmission temperature was in the 180-199 without and towing. Is this normal temp for the 2014 silverado 5.3 4x4?..
We would suggest reaching out to support team at Support@mishimoto.com. Thanks!
Sounds like you have something installed wrong or a line clog, thats not normal temps
@@robertscimeca1768 they said these are operating temps from the dealership.
I deleted the thermostat with Sure Cool product and now fluctuates between 100 and 130
@I Pronox:
As you’ve stated yourself, you have not deleted the thermal bypass valve the temperature readings you got is obviously expected. The original thermal bypass is rated 90 °C (or 194 °F) which means the thermal bypass sends the fluid to the cooler when temperature reaches or exceeds 194 °F. Thanks to your newly installed auxiliary transmission fluid cooler the temperature wouldn’t exceed 199 °F.
Either you’d have to delete the thermal bypass valve as advised by the creator of this video or watch another video that explains everything. Everyone that has GM pickup trucks of model years 2014-2018 as well as SUVs of 2015-2020 need to watch the video. Here it’s,
th-cam.com/video/qM-it1z0_VA/w-d-xo.html
You can see your options in the video depending on the kind of the thermal bypass valve your vehicle actually has. There’s a new technical service bulletin issued by GM about 10 months ago.
gm-techlink.com/?p=15389
For my 2018 Chevy Suburban, the existing pipeline fits the updated thermal bypass valve which is rated 70 °C (or 158 °F) and therefore, I’ve bought and installed that. In my opinion, instead of deleting the thermal bypass valve (because it has a purpose in cold climates or freezing seasonal conditions - very cold transmission fluid is just as bad as overheated one) it’s better to either install the updated thermal bypass valve (if your pipeline fits) or refurbish your existing one with a SureCool Cooling System Upgrade 2014-Up Superior STL010 for 6L80 - 6L90 - 8L90-10L90 transmissions, www.ebay.com/itm/254649501716/
The updated thermal bypass valve’s part number is GM 86774933 along with a replacement Cooler Pipe Fitting Seal - part number GM 23135703, that cost me $81.56 and $4.91, respectively, at the GM authorized dealership.
I still need an auxiliary transmission fluid cooler and hopefully tomorrow I’m gonna be installing a Hayden 516 cooler. I’m a bit intimidated by how to secure the cooler as it’s not going to be very easily securable as one in this video.
Good luck!
@@ትኒጧትንኝ appreciate all the info, i went ahead and install the Sure Cool deleting the thermostat and letting it open at all times. Temps are now fluctuating between 120- 130 at all times on highway drive. Stop and go traffic i get between 130-140 and never seen 180 and up temps no more.
Question.. So the lines on the radiator will be open?
The lines on the radiator do not carry coolant and can be left open, yes.
Hoping this is the answer to my transmission slipping and not going into gear😢 coolant is also dropping and overheating. If not gotta get a new transmission or torque converter.
If it's dropping out of gear or slipping bad, after it's been running or driving a short piece, it's usually the torque converter lockup that's come apart and has dumped shavings into the pan clogging up the trans filter. If you drain the fluid, install new filter pickup, and have torque converter lockup completely disabled, it'll last you alot longer, as the next point of failure are the clutch packs inside trans and most people double the lifespan of trans simply by disabling torque converter lockup. But adding a cooler with the cooler bypass delete, definitely helps lengthen lifespan. The part number for the cooler bypass delete kit is STL010
@RevanCraft after about a hr driving one day, it stopped moving and making a winding or spinning noise by the tc/trans area. I would try to accelerate and the rpms would just redline without moving, so i got it towed. After the tow i was able to reverse and drive up my driveway. Haven't drove it since just in case it causes more damage to trans.
@RevanCraft update of greatness, before all my issues started i got a code to clean my throttle body, and truck was running hotter than usual. I cleaned the tb before and never had issues, so i never thought about having it relearned. I bout a $500 tablet for that and replaced the whole coolant system. Rpms went back to normal and overheating went away, but most important no slipping or shifting problems! Guess the tb was throwing off the torque converter or trans. After surfing youtube and walking into transmission shops idk how ive made it to 130k miles without a trans replacement after all those bad storys about chevy.
Is this compatible with the 2018 silverado 1500 e-assist model?
As long as you have the V8 model, this should fit.
Can you make a transmission cooler for the 99-06 gm 1500 trucks and suvs?
You are welcome to submit a product suggestion by contacting us at support@mishimoto.com. Thanks!
On a 2015 Escalade, would this go in front of the radiator just like this video? I saw another video for the Escalade and they installed it behind the radiator.
The transmission cooler would go in front of the radiator.
Does this kit also work on a 2015 1500 Silverado with the H.D. cooling (RPO option L83) that also has the crappy aux cooler/a.c. condenser POS design. I would like to eliminate running through the radiator and aux cooler and just run it straight to your solid looking cooler assy. to clean up and simplify the setup as well as future serviceability? These Radiators almost always need to be replaced annually for core failure even after installing a redesigned thermostat that was supposed to fix this issue and doesn't!
We are not showing any fitment notes stating that this will not fit with the HD cooling packages so you should be good to go.
Would this be the same process for a 2016 Chevy Tahoe ?
Yep!
Is this for both 6-speed and 8-speed automatic transmissions?
Yep, this will fit both!
Will this fit a 2015 Chevy Tahoe?

How much more fluid should I prepare to add for a 18 Silverado 8 speed trans
Mentioned in the details. Adds an extra 0.65 quarts of transmission fluid
Are this transmission cooler can fit 2006 Chevrolet Silverado crew cab 5.3 v8 4l60e?
This cooler would unfortunately not be compatible with the 2006 Silverado
Does it work for the 2013 1500k chevy v8
It does not. Sorry!
How do I get part number for this kit, I have 2017 silverado k1500 5.3l flex fuel
Please contact us directly at support@mishimoto.com if you have any questions.
My 2017 high country has the active grille shutters. Is this compatible with that? My truck has always ran with high trans temps. I do a lot of mountain driving which will spike the trans temps a lot more than normal. I’m looking for a solution to get the temps down and have a better shifting transmission. I change my fluid pretty frequently but the 8 speed transmission is not the greatest either.
We are not showing any fitment notes related to the active grill shutters.
@7:53 it says reconnect active grille shutter if applicable. So it should fit according to their video. 7:53
I know I'm late to answer... I have a 2017 Silverado HC 6.2L as well. A little over a year ago, I installed the delete/bypass in my transmission. It instantly chilled normal driving down to 120F - 150F.
I also tow a 9000lb Toy Hauler... This is what brought me to this video.
At 60-65mph , I can still reach 200F. I'm hoping this is the solution to keep it around 160F-180F while towing that weight.
Anyway, I hope you worked out your issue.
I have had it on the truck for well over a year now and it has been awesome! Temps don’t get up to 150 when I’m hauling a lot of weight.
Thank you for the reply and info. One question... Does the auxiliary cooler install, bypass the factory cooling in the top of the condenser?
I'm glad you got it figured out on your truck.
why would this not fit the 4.3 v6 2014 silverado?
This is not something that we have tested in the past yet. Sorry!
The transmission fluid does not appear to go in the radiator, it appears to be the top few rows of the ac condenser. GM's design of this is a bean counters wet dream, but doesn't work. Towing my trailer up mountain grades in 4HI I've seen my temps raise up to 285 degrees, somewhere in that region the TCM loses power and you get a MIL light and until you reset the DTC's and allow the trans to cool it will not allow you to drive anywhere. I just ordered my Mishimoto cooler and I'm going to bypass the thermostat and change the fluid and filter. I have 72k on my truck.
I thought the tranny temp wasnt supposed to go to 230. I noticed you said yours went to to 285 .
What truck you got
Are there other parts you have to order to do the T stat bypass ? I've got a 17 Sierra 6.2 w/
8 speed
Did you do this install? Was it worth it?
I am wondering how much better this aux cooler is, compared to the integrated condenser cooler.
@@andrewgill1645doesn’t work, do not waist your $$, I installed it in my 2014 Silverado and did not help a bit.
Do you make a trans. oil cooler for a 2007 chevy 2500HD new body style for the 6.0 ?
We unfortunately do not currently offer a trans cooler we could offer for your model
What about the bypass valve part that comes with the kit?
As this was a common repair procedure we did not make an install video for this. However there should be a number of videos online for this procedure.
@@mishimoto well that is just lazy 😒
Does this have a built in thermostat?
This does not have a built in thermostat.
Will it fit on a 03 Yukon
This will not fit a 2003 Yukon.
How much do temps drop with this cooler ? Thank you

Do you sell just the hard lines that come in this kit?
We unfortunately do not just sell the line on there own. However if yours were damaged feel free to reach out to our support team at support@mishimoto.com and they should be able to help you out.
Yeah.... I need those two. Mishimoto has to have them available where they can sell the hardware alone.
@@j.arreola Did you ever find something that worked for you?
Did you ever find something that worked for your need?
Does it come with plugs for the original trans cooler ports on the radiator or does it somehow work in conjuction with it?
This is meant to bypass the cooler in the radiator. It does not come with caps, however, you can use any high temp rubber cap if you choose to cap these off.
Why won’t this oil cooler fit on a 4.3L ?
Is there another alternative?
Unfortunately, we have not tested this on the 4.3L equipped models at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience!
Make one for 07-13
Feel free to send in product suggestions to support@mishimoto.com. Thanks.
What about plugs for the old transmission cooler holes in the radiator?
The transmission cooler in the radiator is not deleted and the cooler actually connects to these ports so no plugs are needed.
@@mishimoto So what you are saying is the existing cooler is T'd into the new cooler and both used? Otherwise as Scot asked there would be open passages in the old cooler connection locations. Please clarify
It comes out of trans, into the mishimoto cooler, then out of the cooler. After it comes out it goes thru the factory cooler. The mishimoto cooler is basically "in front" of the factory cooler, whereas the fluid goes thru it before going thru the factory. No open lines or anything.
@@twp987 Thanks Tom . Did some researchI found the install on the web page. Generally you eliminate the factory cooler that is in the rad with higher temps since this truck its in the conden its worth keeping it inline. I wanted to confirm that is how this installs. Thanks all looks like a hefty cooler well designed. Will be ordering one since I tow often.
@@twp987 Thanks for the Info. @Mishimoto should of had that included in their video. So the existing Transmissions lines will now flow directly to the new mishimoto cooler them back to the existing factory cooler that's located in-front of radiator. In other words; Then lines will go back to existing factory transmission cooler then back to the actual transmission it self. So there's no adapters or "Y" connections needed?
Can this kit work with 2015 sierra 4.3 V6?
This kit is specific to the V8 models and would not be compatible with the 4.3.
Does it bypass the radiator or it is added?
This is a addition to the existing cooler within the radiator.
The transmission fluid does not appear to go in the radiator, it appears to be the top few rows of the ac condenser. GM's design of this is a bean counters wet dream, but doesn't work. Towing my trailer up mountain grades in 4HI I've seen my temps raise up to 285 degrees, somewhere in that region the TCM loses power and you get a MIL light and until you reset the DTC's and allow the trans to cool it will not allow you to drive anywhere. I just ordered my Mishimoto cooler and I'm going to bypass the thermostat and change the fluid and filter. I have 72k on my truck.
Did this solve your Transmission from getting to hot... What towing temps did you get after the installation.
What temp is to high for 2018 Silverado LT. 1500 ?
They say keep it 200 and under. It was 91 out side today and pulled my dump trailer got up to 212 so I'm looking to get one now
@@joetv3139 i did the thermastat bypass on the tranny and man it made a big difference . No indont have any concerns hauling my travel trailer. 👍🏼
@filitamayo what's the part #
Will this fit a 2015 silverado v6 4.3?
V8 only. Sorry!
