Default Tru-Cool stuff

If you want to modify & use your stock trans cooler lines with your new tru-cool, here's a Napa part number. Inverted flare on one side, snap clip on the other side. 730-4953 BK


Also scanned in the box. Makes me worry less about cold weather use.

Sooo, the trucool basically has an internal cold weather bypass already...pretty cool Good deal on the Napa PN for the fitting too, those are what I used that came with the EAD bracket kit.

Absolutely, I was under the impression that the trucool had an internal bypass, but later was told otherwise. Guess that it helps to read the box

hey guys,
I just installed a B&M super cooler, part number 70268, ands its the EXACT same design for half the price. I think i piad $50 for it from summit. its the same with as the stock cooler but about 4" taller, and even uses the same mounting holes.

I forgot to take a picture of it yesterday when I put it in, but I'll pull my grille off later and take one.

my trans temp dropped 30 degrees.

part number 70266 is even taller and you can use the OEM fittings on it.
