Helpful Expert Reply:

I recommend the biggest transmission cooler you can fit in front of your Silverado's radiator that has a plate-fin design. That is the Derale Series 8000 item # D13504 which is 11" wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep.

The 8000 series cooler item # D13504 uses plate-fin technology which is more advanced than tube-fin technology and will provide better cooler efficiency.

To help with installation you can use the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting for GM item # D13035.
