I need to know brands, and model numbers of your tranny coolers, and where you got them. This is a late post,because I plan on doing this tomarrow.

I had no luck at the local parts house. According to them they don't even make one for my truck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

 

They are universal (I don't what WTF the local parts guys meant) and you can go to PepBoys and get a Hayden rapid cool. If you want a factory look, buy the GM cooler for the Duramax that bolts on the front core support brace, you could even buy the hose with the quick disconnects.

Universal is what I ended up asking for. Then one of them said that they needed to know what size the threads were. I just left it at that, because I was in the other truck and didn't feel like arguing anymore.

 

**** dude, that sucks. i put in a hayden 406 i believe. just a basic tranny cooler. not the good one but a BIG one (said on the box its mainly for rv's and what not). there was also an adapter kit i needed to run it into the return line on the radiator. not sure but i believe it was hayden part #309.

i know for a FACT they sell these at oreilly's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

Just to be sure, is the top line on the left side(if your standing in front) the return line? I would rather not heat her up to find out.

BTW, the Hayden # was 405 and the kit is #390. Thanks guys. Gonna do it today.
This is what all I'm gonna do: 60k tune up (58k actually)
1. Fuel filter
2. inspect rear and change rear end fluid (Mobil 1 75w90 w/GM posi additive)
3. Oil change (Mobil 1 10w30, A/C PF59)
4. Tranny cooler
5. Lower right side ball Joint (again)
6. 18 pack Bud Light and pat myself on the back. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Jeff the upper ball joints only come with the arm from GM. They are press in and as far as I kow, GM doese not sell them separatly. When I replaced one of my uppers, it was $150, but that was over 18months ago. A lot may have changed since then. I just want piece of mind that every thing is intact down there. If you don't get in to much dirt, and keep it greased, they will still last a while w/o the boot.

Glad to see everything came together. I usually change the fuel filter around 12-15K just as a precautionary measure...cheap insurance.

This is my third fuel filter, every 20k or so for me. Still no answer on the upper tranny line ????? Which is the return line? Upper or lower ?

 

Upper is the return <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
