Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2008 Chevy Silverado
Question:
Hello, I have a 2008 Chevy Silverado 4.8 L with the 4L60 E transmission. I plow with my truck and I’m wondering what is a good direct fit transmission cooler to add to the truck? I believe I already have a GM transmission cooler, but the truck gets up to about 230° while plowing so I’m really trying to cool it down. Thank you for your help

I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13503 for your 2008 Chevy Silverado; you'll need Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting # D13035 as well. This is a highly efficient, direct-fit cooler that comes with a mounting kit and is very highly regarded by our customers who have used it, as you can see in the reviews on the product page. I've add links to a video review and install for you to take a look at.
