• Recommended Transmission Cooler For A 1998 Chevrolet K1500
  I do have transmission cooler options available for your 1998 Chevrolet K1500 with 5.7L engine.

• Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500 With 6.0L V8
  I took a look at the owner's manual for your 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500 and was unable to find any information concerning specific grades of hills and there isn't any type of specific formula that is used which has this information. The only thing mentioned in your owner's manual was that going up steep grades would cause overheating so I strongly recommend using an accessory transmission cooler. The best option is the Derale Series 8000 # D13504 because it is a plate-fin cooler that is...

• Best Solution for Lowering Vehicle Temperatures When Towing
  The added stress from trailer towing usually shows up as an increased transmission temperature. I am not sure if the gauge you're referring to is displaying engine coolant temperature or if you have one that shows transmission temperature. We do offer Derale Class III transmission cooler # D12903 for your 5.3L Yukon XL which measures a generous 15-1/4 x 7-1/2. This can be mounted in front of your AC condenser to provide supplemental transmission cooling after the OEM cooler in the radiator...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD
  Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific so you can install any one that will fit including # D13504. For the 6.0 liter engine you may need fitting # D13035. If you have a hard metal line and do not want to use the fitting, you could cut the metal line, flare it, and use hose clamps. The transmission cooler comes with hose, clamps, and mounting hardware. It also includes an Insta-dapt radiator adapter. This adapter is if you have a rubber line, not a metal line, so you can use the...

• Should 2007 GMC Sierra Classic be Put in 4WD When Towing a Heavy Load Long Distance
  I checked out the online version of the owner's manual and it looks like for your 2007 GMC Sierra Classic then you want to use the Tow/Haul mode for heavy towing and/or shift the transmission to 3rd or lower if it is shifting too often. Aside from that though it doesn't state anything about 4WD so I wouldn't worry about it. You may consider adding a transmission cooler like the Derale # D13502 to help keep your transmission from overheating and making your engine work harder. If you have...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500
  For your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 I would recommend the larger transmission cooler part # D13504 as basically the larger the cooler you have the better, and your truck would have room for it's size of 11" Wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep. For a fitting that would allow you to install the cooler without having to cut or flare any lines you would want the part # D13018. Keeping the transmission fluid cool is the greatest way to prolong the life of the transmission as heat is a transmission's worst enemy.

• How Many Adapters Is Needed to Install Transmission Cooler in 1997 Chevy K1500
  The Derale cooler part # D13503 is a great choice for your 1997 Chevy K1500. You would only need one of the part # D13018 fitting adapter as it comes with two sides. One to use on the radiator to get the line to the transmission cooler and then the other one to attach back to the disconnected transmission cooler line that was removed. If oil filter clearance is already pretty tight I wouldn't recommend an oil cooler as they take up a bit of space that it sounds like you don't have. Is...

• Transmission Cooler for 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500HD
  Thanks for your kind words! I'd recommend going with a transmission cooler.

I'd recommend the Derale # D13504 which measures 11x12 inches which would provide plenty of cooling. If you have 5/8 inch hex fittings on your transmission lines,...

• Radiator Adapter Fitting Options for a 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 4.6L V6
  I am not familiar with a 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 4.6L V6 engine, so I did some research, but I was still not able to find a model that came with a 4.6L V6 engine.

My contact at Derale also told me that they have not received any information that the fitting sizes have changed on this truck. The adapter fittings that you purchased...

• WhichTransmission Cooler Fittings for a 2007 GMC Truck
  I spoke with my contact at the manufacturer and he said that there are 3 main types of fittings that GM used during that year and that it was more or less random for the GM trucks so you may need any one of the three types. The three types are the fittings that were used are the fitting supplied with the cooler, a snap in style fitting, item # D13035, and the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for GM, item # D13018. I believe the last style of fitting is the fitting your truck will need....

• 1999 Chevy C3500 Transmission Will Not Shift Into Overdrive While Towing
  Overdrive is not usually something that you would need to use when towing. Also if your truck has a tow/haul button that you press when towing then it likely shuts off overdrive. If this is something new the truck started doing then there are some things to look at. The first thing I recommend doing is checking the transmission fluid level for your 1999 Chevy C3500. If the fluid is low then it might not have enough cooling power. If the fluid is full and looks good then the cooler you...

• Can the Derale Stacked-Plate Transmission Cooler Kit Be Mounted in Any Direction or Orientation
  The inlet and outlet on transmission coolers can be oriented in any direction you like and because the cooler is a flow through device you can use either port as the inlet or outlet, whichever makes the installation easier and uses the least amount of hose. The one thing you want to be sure of, is that the cooler is mounted so that most air flows through it, usually in the same orientation as your radiator. The best installation location is as far forward as possible in front of the radiator,...
