So I am in the middle of the swap and i got a trans cooler out of a chevy pickup between 96 and 99. The problem is on my truck there are 2 5/16 lines to my cooler in the radiator and on the cooler i have some of the factory line to mate them to but are 3/8. Has anyone else run into this? I would really like to use this cooler it fits and bolts to the radiator support like it was meant to be there

i was able to get the original fittings out of the cooler so i can find fittings with barbed ends to run hoses off the cooler
hey man. i just posted a similar question. im looking to add a trans cooler also since im doing an 80e swap. i cant tell what year truck you have but you said you were able to get a "stock" cooler from the scrap yard. what trucks were you looking at? im pretty sure i have 3/8 lines but havnt messured them yet.
i have a 95 4l60e that has 5/16 lines from trans to radiator. The cooler I think they started putting in in like 96 maybe but I know 97 definitely had then and newer. When I went to mount it the holes were already there for the bracket there was no drilling required.
