Sierra 1500 trans cooler

[Bunger]

Need to upgrade my trans cooler on my 2011. Stock one can’t keep up. Can anyone recommend a setup or kit? Or any other info? Thanks in advance!

I put this on my 2011 Tahoe and 2006 Suburban. Works good.

How much did it lower the temp
Roughly? How heavy were you towing??

I’d start with the electric fan conversion before i went to a different cooler.

It’s got electric fans. Or are you talking about adding a fan to the stock cooler? Does a fan even do anything unless you’re sitting still?

It will take it from 220-230 down to 180-190. They work really well. I have a new in box one with fittings to plumb into factory system if you are interested. 125.00

I know that was the big upgrade on my 04 made a huge difference but that was a diesel also.

how did you move the hardlines around?

I towed the Schiada back from Texas to California in over 100!degree temps and the trans never went over 160 degrees. Before the cooler without towing it would go up to around 180 on a hot day.

Basically if I remember correctly. If you are facing the cooler the line on the right site will just screw in. The line on the left you cut the hard line and put a flitting on it. The old old cooler comes off and the new cooler mounts to brackets. Look on you tube. There are a bunch of videos.
