Default tranny cooler install question

i felt both the lines that go to the tranny and it feels like the top line is the return line since it is a little bit cooler. does that sound right. for some reason i thought that it would be the line on the bottom of the radiator. any one that has installed one could tell me if this is true or not.

Yep, it's the top one.
Which cooler did you get?

Cool, I was hoping you got that style of cooler. Hey before you start taking stuff apart, check the length of the hose that they sent you in the kit (if you got a kit). When I put a B&M supercooler on my Z71 the kit only had enough hose to reach to the cooler, but it didn't have enough for the return line. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> Do yourself a favor and buy 3 or 4 feet of extra hose. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Also check the fittings. The ones in my B&M kit must have only fit a 1972 Gremlin or something. I ended up smashing them with a sledghammer because they were worthless & it made me feel good. <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

I've gotten pretty good at sheetrock repair and texturing. Damn tools slip out of my hand and gain speed as I let go of them. <img border="0" alt="[fight]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

LMAO I've only done that once. It was a flashlight that kept going out while I would finally get the two parts lined up.
