Question:
Which trans oil cooler and mounting kits for my truck please? I do not see 4.8s listed. I will tow 2000 to 2500 lbs likely.

I recommend Derale Transmission cooler part # D13502 for your 2005 GMC Sierra 4.8L as long as you have the space to mount it. The Transmission Cooler measures 11" wide x 7-1/4" tall x 7/8" deep. Between your vehicle's grille and AC condenser core is the most efficient. The second most efficient location is between the condenser and radiator. The the third most efficient location is mounting the cooler between your engine and radiator.
You do need Derale Snap-In Radiator fitting part # D13035 since you have a 4.8L.
