I recommend the Derale 19-Row Stacked-Plate Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13403. This fits most vehicles with the 5/16" transmission lines, but I recommend adding the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting for GM # D13035. This adapter allows you to easily connect the radiator to the transmission cooler. Please note the linked product review and installation videos below along with installation instructions.
