Check those Engine Oil, Transmission and Fuel Coolers
You have the factory cooler in the radiator but not the auxiliary one I guess. There is a GM kit that I'm sure is over-priced and no one uses but I'll look....
yeah...thats what i was trying to say, but the way i said it wasnt very clear....Quote:

cooler install
im feeling productive today, i think i will mount it up when i get off work and just feel it out from there, ill post up picks of the progress later
I had a tru-cool cooler to install and there were no fittings. The local Orielly store had universal prebuilt brake and fuel hoses hanging in the back. I just tried a few until I found the ones that fit. A cut to make one into two, a couple of bends, hose clamps and rubber hose and it was ready to install. Simple 3/4" x 1/8'' flat bar, a drill, nuts and bolts can make any mounts you need.
so, do the trans lines have the same flare as a brake line?

BTW, the GM kit for a 99 is $99 and includes the cooler, both pre-bent steel lines, and all the hardware. Not sure what the GVWR is....
well....my cooler just had the hose barbs on the cooler no screw in type fittings, so i used rubber line, as much as i didnt want to, but its on and the trans temps dropped 40*
