Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2005 GMC Yukon
Question:
I have a 2005 GMC Yukon with the 5.3 V8. I have the towing package and so I have a transmission cooler already install by the manufacturer. I would like to upgrade from the stock cooler to a higher rated one class V. I would prefer a new one that would be a pull and replace utilizing my current lines in that configuration but if that is not possible a cooler that I can adapt my current line to easily. Really need this answer quick as I need to install it next week for a big mountain pull in two weeks. So I would like to order all the parts I need tomorrow. Thank you

Expert Reply:
A stacked plate cooler like the part # D13402 will be more efficient than your current cooler but your best option is to install the cooler after your factory one so that you get the efficiency of both coolers to maximize the cooling effect.
You'd also want the fitting part # D13035 to make the install easier.
