It depends on how you want to do it, you can retain the factory fittings and just slide the supplied hoses over, or you can cut the factory line(s) if you choose. Some guys like to bypass the factory cooler all together, while I like to install the aux cooler in line with the return, which is the upper hard line to the radiator.

gotcha, so come out of the top fitting on rad, then to tru-cool, and back to tranny return line, sweet!!

Would it not work better to just bypass the radiator since that cooler is going to be around 190 regardless because of the engine?

I have the tru cool too, and with my stall in traffic in 95+ temps I have only seen 150*, and 160* with the a/c on. I have mine thru the rad and then out to the cooler and to the trans. I normally see 130 on the highway so far this summer. I also wonder about just using the tru cool, and no rad cooler. it would be less pressure loss for sure.

Mine bypasses radiator, works fine. It does take a while to heat up in winter though.

I could care less about warm up in the winter, it never gets above 100 going thru the rad. I just want to cool it down when the a/c is on. I will prolly bypass the rad. did you plug your rad trans cooler holes?

i had a 40K on my truck back when i had a the 60E in it. worked good but i had to have my elec fans on the whole time. im going to put it back on the truck now with the 80E because my temps were up there too.
