I'm looking to pick up one of these ATF coolers with a thermal bypass. All my lines are stainless braided lines and I was wondering if anyone made a bypass with AN or NPT ports, I don't want the tru-cool's bypass with hose barbs.

This past Saturday.......the wife and I went Boating and it was the first time Towing my Boat, with the New 40K Trans Cooler Installed,
Last Year with the Factory Transmission Cooler....Temps were Around 180-190 Degrees......the Temps with the New 40K Cooler, Never went Over 150-Degrees!!.....it was in the Low 90's Up in the Napa Valley/Northern Calif.
Big Thanks to Tom(Fastnblu).....Billy(Budhayes3) for Helping me out with what I was going to need for the Cooler Swap......
40K Cooler.....W/EAD Mounting Bracket and Hardware Kit, Made This a Plug and Play Mod.
This has Been One of the Best Mods I've Done to My Truck, to Help with Towing my Boat and Lower the Temp's on My Transmission..........

Awesome Mike, glad it worked out for you! I love these EAD brackets too, makes the install a snap if you're using the factory aux cooler hard lines. My truck didn't come with a factory aux cooler so I had to buy the aux cooler kit with the factory hard lines...no biggie, the hard lines were a piece of cake to install since I had the trans out and there was plenty of room.
Keep up the good work Mike, I'll talk to you very soon

Will these fit a 2008 Silverado auxiliary cooler lines at the factory trans cooler? If so, what is the size and thread pitch on these. I want to rig something up possibly using these and some sort of -6 AN adapter. That way I don't have to cut the factory lines in case I decide to sell the truck and reinstall the factory cooler. Basically I want to attach -6 AN lines to the factory quick disconnects.
