    You have the factory cooler in the radiator but not the auxiliary one I guess. There is a GM kit that I'm sure is over-priced and no one uses but I'll look....

    yeah, i found that kit, if i could just get the lines it would be great, i already have a trans cooler, its just sitting in the shop though, not doing much good there, i thought someone had to make an install kit or something...

    Got mine from the salvage yard, all the caddies with the Northstar have oil coolers and they are the plate type rated for 28k pounds for 5 bucks.

    I had a tru-cool cooler to install and there were no fittings. The local Orielly store had universal prebuilt brake and fuel hoses hanging in the back. I just tried a few until I found the ones that fit. A cut to make one into two, a couple of bends, hose clamps and rubber hose and it was ready to install. Simple 3/4" x 1/8'' flat bar, a drill, nuts and bolts can make any mounts you need.

    so, do the trans lines have the same flare as a brake line?
