Depends on what you need. If you're running a stall converter, I would get a 40k. Everyone has had great luck with them and most of the guys on here run them. Look up the 40k install thread on here and there are a bunch of pics and suggestions on how to mount/install the cooler

They sell a factory add on kit. GM Part# 12497071. I used this on my truck since it didn't have have one either. The kit runs less then $100

You can buy an after market kit and install it as well. The TRU Cool 40K cooler is one of the most popular as it offers the most cooling capacity.

This is the link to the thread he refereed too. https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...ght=40k+cooler
