Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD
Question:
Will this transmission cooler fit a 2012, 2500HD, 6.0, Silverado? Also, what fittings, hoses, clamps would I need to order to install myself?

Expert Reply:
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 adapter in line with the cooler hose. I have included some links on transmission coolers for you.
