We’re the same in the aspect where we like to do our own work. Did all my upgrades myself. Next is headliner, 40k cooler and corvette servo
Thanks for making this video. I have a dump body on 2012 DRW 6.0L and I see 180 degree on some occasions so I am updating the cooler with what you have. When this happens I usually have about 6-7k of weight in the back and it's 90-100 degrees outside.
Looks real clean. In my opinion you should have painted the brackets black so that way you would only see the cooler.
I ran mine to the bottom and cut the single hose they provided in 2. The trans line you tap into makes a U in the bottom and i cut it then slipped the hoses on but either way works
Great little video, thanks for sharing.
Best buy ever i got one on my SS SILVERADO
Nice one bro keep up the great work bro
Helpful post, bro! Just a couple of suggestions to those who want to do a similar installation--
1. Install both auxiliary hose lines in the correct lengths needed to connect up to the main trans line ahead of time and then carefully pre-fill the entire new cooler and hoses with trans fluid so that the system is pre-filled and will have no air pockets. You can plug the hose ends with a bolt shank or similar so that it doesn't leak out while you're re-connecting. Then carefully take the plugs out and connect to the main line connection points. This minimizes the qty. of fluid needed to add once the job is done and also (as mentioned before) eliminates air pockets in the line.
2. It's up to you, but if it was me, I would remove the air intake tube / box to have better access to the trans line where it connects to the radiator.
Overall though, good vid, with easy to understand steps. You do good work on a budget too! Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Hey nice install . I noticed when you showed the gauges your truck has the compass and outside temps . Did your truck come factory with this or did you swap clusters or flash the BCM ?
Nice!!! Mine just came in can’t wait to installs my temps are typically around 185 and easily get to 200 with heavy foot right now
What’s uour temp running at now?
What’s it at now?
@@gagegonzalez2767 average 150-160. Went off roading hard in high desert and Max 185-190 for a little bit. Super impressed.
I need it bad then
That return line gets hooked up to what side of the trans cooler right or left side???????
I have a 2011 and mine has a little oil cooler in that spot what will i do is it a diffrent way
Outside temperature sensor is there behind the grille.
Thanks for the post man mine usually runs about 200-230°F so this is helpful
Dang mine get from 100 too 150 and I thought that was bad
@@1highLT that’s good you prob already have a aftermarket trans cooler then
Mine does too and it didn’t have one just added one now
How much transmission fluid did you add
1 On re-assemble do not FORGET to replace the securing'HoseClip' back of radiator when inserting the new Part - No 397 ..otherwise you will blow all of the Trans fluid when in gear! 2 Prefilling the cooler is a wise move, and as the maker notes you DO NOT HAVE TO install with the hoses down, you can go side, either way or on top, it does not matter which way.
Hell yeah man! Some new merch would be awesome!
What was your temps before and after the swap?
Could you tell us which side port you connected to the radiator , and the line you removed ?
Where did you purchase the item from?
After installation
What is the trans temp. ?
Helpful vid. Thanks for sharing. In the future, may I just suggest placing the camera in a better position so you aren't blocking the view? Cheers.
Can I ask were did you put the right hose from cooler to radiator? Top or bottom of the radiator? Thank you
You gonna have to relocate the ambient air temperature sensor, otherwise you ambient temperature will be higher, i make that mistake lol
Yup, I'ma leave it like it is until I have to take the bumper off again! 😂 Keeps my 6l80 no hotter then 185 loaded.. 120 at lowest. But mine is a Dana trucool 40k
I have to get that trans cooler, the one I have now isn’t cutting it. Also I saw that you ran it through the radiator as well can you enlighten me on that?
have you noticed any weakness or kinking in the lines when they're up to temp? especially the "return line" at the top of the radiator? cool video btw
I have same set up mines riped at that bend where he says he likes the bend I’m not sure why it ripped but I sure did lose like 9 quarts all over my engine lol I’m looking for a better set up
Do you think it’s worth it for this one
So how is it working out for you any problems yet......?
Did mine and decided to flip it the other side up and it worked fine i didnt have to cut it after all , its always good to doubke up on the clamps for good measure i was skeptical at first but fuck it even threw a zip tie over the lip just in case , also bro where did you get the mesh on the grill ?
Was that compatible with your truck?cause I’m looking at them and they all say not for my Silverado. 2007 Silverado 4.8l new body.
Your truck is clean af bro i been watching your videos i think the first one i watched was when you finished the sound system on the lifted truck and you did a bass demo and i subscribed after watching the video you made swapping the wheels on this blue truck. Keep up the good content bro 👍
Thanks bro!!! I appreciate the support!
Did you get your truck wrapped?
How hot was it getting?
🔥
Good job
Just curious, how much did you spend Becuase I see some for 300 and some for 170, also mine has the oem tow package so it has the line already running to it ?
Some are way over prices bro but they got for like $120-$140
How come your truck dont have the small trans cooler where you mounted the new one? Anyways did it make any difference? I live in az and trans temps go to 210. Just looking around to see if it works i need to upgrade mine
The single cab work trucks didnt have tow packages, so it wasnt necessary to have one from factory, the truck has everything to tow minus tow hooks and a hitch in the back, so if you plan to tow or race then youll be adding one
My transmission temp has reached up to 230F what can i look Into due to it being that high , besides this cooler set up that I plan to do.
Not to much. I have a grand prix gxp and the temp hits 220 plus in the summer. Using this with a 180 degree thermostat bypass unit.
Bigger transmissionfluid pan
@@TheShadeManGuitar thermostat? Like for the radiator?
That fitting you put in the radiator is that bypassing the inner trans cooler in the radiator ?
That's where it comes out of the radiator. Then it goes through the cooler and then back to the transmission. It's going thought both
I know it's old comment but just for people in the future. Some people bypass the radiator all together but that shouldn't be done. The radiator helps the transmission warm up in cold weather.
@@brett9382will this work on my 2009 gmc sierra 4.3 ? I have the same issue of the lines going directly to the rad but I want to install a cooler same as you
Quick question would this work for a ram 1500 magnum !🤔
I know it's a year ago but anytime you can put air over fluid it will lower temp the silverados have a notorious issue of getting warmer then they should. That's why he made this video. But overall lower Temps are better for transmissions
What was your temperature running at before installing it
Around 140-160
What’s the temperature after you installed the new transcooler?
Wrap it NARDO GREY🔥🔥🔥
Danny Herrera hell yeah! It would hard asf🔥🔥🔥
Yea that colors dope
Why did you tie into the line on the radiator? Wouldn't you just connect to the lines already out there for the factory cooler
Does not have a factory cooler
Oh ok :)
I think i need going to need one of those.. My temp on my 2008 is at 167 and sometimes goes up to 217 is that bad? Only when im stepping on it alot.
Anything over 190 is not great, over 210 is really bad
I’m from nochis too
Doesn’t that restrict airflow to the radiator?
Not really, you see all that open space it has? And then how small that radiator is, so no
Some GM trucks have factory coolers, so that should answer your question
So I have a question? How’s your dash look mine is trashed! Cracked and missing pieces that’s on the top of my list to fix on my 2008 GMC Sierra.
Like new bro
I have the ltz dash the Denali dash.. they all crack cuz of the heat.. I recommend ceramic tinting your whole vehicle including windshield the what cracks it.
I need to replace the whole dash do you recommend a good replacement. I have seen some on amazon. I thought about just putting a dash cover but don’t really like the look.
How many quarts did you have to add?
Just about half a quart
@@projectvc425 which one is the in and out on the cooler ?
I installed mine either the lines on top. Assures you all the air is out of the cooler and it’s filled 100%
so your lines are pointing up instead of down like his are?
Que motor tiene tu camioneta y como can las mangueras
I swear my 08 came with a stock trans cooler i didnt know some didnt
Silverado08JP yea same here
Protip flip the cooler with them at the bottom they are only filling up to about 3/4 of the cooler. flip it over and use 100%
what’s them?
Sully the connections on the cooler!
I don't understand this. Can anyone clarify, please?
@@markumark1 to keep the hoses side up on the trans cooler so there’s more room for the fluid
Per one of the tru-cool engineers, they said that it doesn’t matter how it’s mounted. It fills completely regardless. No different then how the oem cooler is mounted with a tow package.
Whats pipe size
Will this save me from buying another 4l60 😂
Es todo verga 👌🏼
Does this fit on a 2015
Yes sir!
Rotate 180 deg, inlet and outlet on the top would be perfect.
Why? Asking bc about to install
@@frozone993 100% all the transcooler rows will be filled by the fluid. Do not fight gravity since the pressure is low.
I don't see how gravity is s problem since the fluid already goes from the bottom of the radiator to the top. ??
The factory coolers are installed with the outlet/inlet going down
Wich is the inlet on the cooler?
So how much more trans fluid did you add? I want to install a cooler on it cos my ‘14 has 130k on it 👀 por que si quema cuh! Lmao
About half a quart bro
PROJECT VC right on bro 🤘🏽thanks
So witch line goes where
Doesn’t matter. Either outlet is fine bro
@@projectvc425 ok ok
I want to get one fr
My truck always on the 190s
Shouldn't it flow through the radiator first though?
It dies Flo through the radiator first. He connected it to the return line.

airbag sensor.
Not even close. The airbag sensor is within itself. That is an AC atmosphere sensor
Covering your condenser with paint is no bueno
Aga los vídeos en español primo
First why run it thru radiator, that defeats the whole purpose. Second you never run trans coolers with fittings pointing down. Do a little research before you takcle projects
Which is the correct way to install it
@@laramiewatson9679 you want trans cooler mounted horizontal, pressure supply hose at bottom
Factory Chevrolet transmission cooler fittings are facing down all the time.
@@1SYCRYD so why would GM have it faced down from the factory?
How much tranny fluid did you have to put in after installment
