Default 2009 Silverado trans cooler - info needed

I want to replace the OE trans cooler on my 09 Crew with a B&M Super Cooler
I have had good luck with those.
I tow a 24 ft enclosed
I remember reading a thread of someone who did the same
I cant find the thread - yes I did a search

What adapters - thread size is the OE trans lines?
I am going to mount it in place of the OE cooler and use the OE lines

Thanks
Chris

I think the 5/16 steel lines and the adapter sells in summit . It is a compression style brass adapter that goes to thread. Then get 5/16 brass barb and make sure u get rubber hose that's meant for Trans line due to the heat and pressure that a Trans line holds. Then mount it so it has good air flow. I got the one with the fan built in and I tow a Trailer a lot even with a little higher stall and it never gets over 160-170*F. Best of luck.

Please expound.
Better than the B&M cooler?
I like the GVW and the compactness of the B&M cooler - I have three of these coolers installed on other vehicles.
Price - not worried about - for 80.00 or so - cheap insurance to me
Thanks
