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......

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.

For those people that don't have a Napa near them like me, you can get Dorman 800-605 at orielly's, advance or autozone it is the same exact fitting.

Wow its been a long time since I have posted.
