how to install tranny cooler..
does any one have a write-up on how to install a tranny cooler??? I kind looked at my truck right now and it seems like the lines right now are connected to the radiator, when I disconnect those lines do I have to plug the empty holes??? also I think I am going with the B&M cooler which has no brackets or nothing so does that mean I have to make my own brackets and run extra tubing to the front or does it bolt up somewhere in the front??? thanks... I am not all that mechanical literate but I can read and follow instructions...
thanks...
thanks...

One of those lines goes into the radiator, the other comes out of the radiator (if you have the towing package) to a tranny cooler mounted behind the grille. I used the line coming OUT of this cooler and went to mine then back to the trans. So I guess I actually have three coolers, just no trans

First of all does your truck ahve the tow package with the little bitty *** trans cooler like 3x6 cooler?
the cooler I bought comes with an installation kit so it should be pretty easy, but if I cant get it on I sure will let you know!!! pm me your phone#...
