its EASY to install a trucool Max. Drill a couple of holes, bolt it in and hook up the rubber hoses to the trans line and your done.

Im have 3 weeks and Im on the road for a 2100 mile road trip, I just dont have time to do it honestly. I also dont want to have any headaches.

IF I didnt have to cut the lines and re plumb that stuff then it wouldnt be a big deal.

You don't cut/replumb tho. It has fittings that screw into the factory lines and you just clamp the included hoses over the fittings. The only other work is drilling a couple of holes which is easy. The metal is very easy to drill through.

Shouldn't take more than a few minutes really. 1/2 hour tops if you really want to get it done quick possibly faster.

all the other threads state that you have to cut the passenger side fitting... do you have a link where to get the fittings?

It came with fittings. I would never cut my lines. I haven't seen a single thread on here that says to cut your lines.
I left 1 line hooked to the radiator, used an included fitting to come back out of the radiator, Clamped on a rubber hose to go into the cooler then back out into another fitting on the line that I unhooked.
Hardest part was mounting which isn't very difficult.
This pic is small but it shows everything included.

If you want it to look really nice you can get some bent or braided lines later but I've ran mine with what it came with since I got it. Whats included will do what you want to do.

I have the one that comes standard in the radiator. I don't have the Auxiliary cooler. If you have and remove the Auxiliary cooler the fittings SHOULD fit into it the same as they do the regular lines. which would make routing the hose super easy.

Doesn't the Auxiliary cooler hook into the radiator just the same tho? If so and the fittings wont go into the auxiliary coolers lines you can just remove those lines and hook it up as I just described. There are a couple extra fittings that come with it that I didn't need. Since the included hose is rubber you can route it easily to the lines that go to the radiator.
I don't see why your auxiliary cooler would have different size connections than your radiator has.
