    I'm not sure about the best way but I just cut the steel cooler line and slipped rubber hose over the steel line and double clamps on each end of the hose. I believe in simplicity rather than going for the factory look.

    yessir. Its a low pressure flow so you're good to go. The top line on the radiator should be the return flow line that you would run to the cooler.

    Its not low pressure flow,anything in or out of the trans will be 70+psi....

    I have an Escalade with the factory trans cooler up front and I plan on just sliding the cooler fittings down the line where they cant move.

    Be sure to use good fuel injection clamps instead of worm drives.
