When we installed a transmission cooler on a very similar Chevy Silverado we found that the return line was the one that was on the driver side of the factory cooler. We tested this by starting the vehicle when it was cold and feeling the lines as someone in the driver seat of the truck put the transmission in drive (with brakes firmly applied), and then slightly raised the RPM. The cooler line is the return line.
See the install video I attached for more info.
