I do much the same thing on my trucks but I do use fuel injection clamps for everything. Also I mount the cooler with the outlets up so the cooler stays full of ATF and reduces the speed through the core providing the maximum amount of cooling. A set of 90* fittings also cleans things up a little. Just me.
Fuel injection clamps I wouldn't be opposed to, typically you can get them tighter than a worm screw clamp and they hold a bit better than a worm screw clamp. How does mounting the cooler with the outlets facing up reduce the speed of the fluid through the core? With the same volume of fluid being pumped in the same amount of time, mounting the core a different direction won't change the distance the fluid needs to travel, or the speed that it travels that distance.
@@MohawkMotors With a really large cooler with tank and tube construction the flow from the trans might not be enough to fully use all the cores, it might only use the bottom half using only half the tubes or so. Mounting it so once it fills it will use all the tubes slowing the fluid flow through each because it would be using them all. You can see the effect by measuring the tube temps, the further away from the tank you are the cooler the tube is, the flow is the same but with that flow using all the tubes it's slower through each, given more time in the tube it produces cooler temps at the outlet. It's all about available GPM. Tough to explain but it works most times.
I gotcha, I hadn't thought about that. Makes sense, would be curious to test idle vs. high rpm, like driving at highway speed. Higher rpm the pump would be moving substantially more fluid. This would also explain why the trans fluid usually drops a bit after a first test drive with some higher rpm, the increased fluid flow from high rpm fills more of the cooler that may not have filled at idle.
Clean setup, would you happen to have the part numbers for the factory aux lines that you connected too?…unfortunately my truck didn’t come with a factory cooler.
Thank you! I don't have any videos of swapping out just a differential, haven't had the need to do that in a long time. I do have some videos on swapping out entire rear ends with a limited slip in them.
You don't add any transmission fluid? I have a 07 Tahoe LS 5.3 l without the existing trans cooler. The 40K cooler comes with one hose. Make sure you have a 2nd long hose! I was about to start taking my car apart but double checking all my stuff,i need 1 more long hose! 👍 I brought trans fluid too
Not sure what you mean, once I start the vehicle up I top off the transmission fluid, the cooler holds enough that it'll be a little low. Yes if you don't have the factory auxiliary cooler you'll need more hose than what comes with the cooler.
Nobody knows about it. I’m from LA. Went to the junk yard to find some and people just cut them out. The one on my truck got torn and was leaking small amount of clean
If there's any chance at all of being in stop and go traffic, or even just parked with the engine idling, you either need the primary cooler in the radiator, or you need a fan to move air over the auxiliary cooler. The way I have this system set up, if I bypassed the primary cooler in the radiator, I guarantee you the trans would burn up in stop and go traffic. Without air flowing over the auxiliary cooler it will get heat soaked and do pretty much nothing to cool the fluid in a very short amount of time.
Nice AMX!!! Ive got a 71 Javelin.
I also have a 05 Escalade I will do the same job on. Live in Sweden. Good video thanks
Thank you!

Thank you! These are for a 1500 with a 4l60, Auxiliary Cooler to transmission - Sunsong 5801054, Radiator to auxiliary cooler - Sunsong 5801048
Nice video bro do u have any videos on making a truck limited slip
Thank you! I don't have any videos of swapping out just a differential, haven't had the need to do that in a long time. I do have some videos on swapping out entire rear ends with a limited slip in them.
Th little piece of hose if from the steam lines that connect to the oem throttle body
Correct
Cool what year of truck did it come out of want to do mine
The auxiliary cooler? I don't know of any factory application, I put a link in the description to buy a brand new one.
york pepermint pattys and amx in the house
Yessir!! AMX Video coming soon!

@@MohawkMotors yeah no one said anything about an additional hose or whether to buy a gallon of transmission fluid or a quart 👍 great video though
I just bought one but it doesn't show oil flow direction?
it's non directional, doesn't matter which is in and which is out
Nobody knows about it. I’m from LA. Went to the junk yard to find some and people just cut them out. The one on my truck got torn and was leaking small amount of clean
I believe it
I need to install my Chinesium cooler
Now you know the best way!
👍
Thanks!
you dont need the radiator cooler
