Is Transmission Cooler Adapter Needed to Install Derale Cooler in a 2004 Chevy Silverado
Question:
looking to install D13504 tranny cooler, kit says it comes with insta-dapt radiator adapter, do I still need to purchase D13035 adapter, going on a 2004 chevy, 6.0, 2500hd?

Expert Reply:
You will want to also get the adapter part # D13035. The transmission cooler you are planning on installing, part # D13504 does come with universal fittings that can be used, but the # D13035 makes the install much easier as it snaps right into the radiator.
I attached an install video that shows this cooler installed in a similar GM vehicle.
