Trans cooler fititngs


Recommended Posts

I recently bought a B and M super cooler to replace my stock aux. cooler on my 03 silvy Z71 and I'm hoping from some help finding fitting sizes. I want to use my stock cooler lines and just put the fittings in my new cooler..

 

Does anyone know what I need to go from stock tranny cooler quick disconnect fitting to a 1/2 NPT?

 

Or what size the stock fitting is? I cant find it anywhere

 

Thank you in advance!

Honestly I use all braided line and AN fittings on mine, from the trans, to oil cooler lines. The factory stuff only lasts so long. ask me how I know. The oil cooler lines suck to install, it makes every thing a breeze and Braided line last longer, wont leak and are easy to manipulate. But the price of them can be a little costly. If you have the extra money thats what I would do.

Did you run the new braided lines all the way from the trans to the cooler? Got any pics of the install?

I sure appreciate the advice. I'm gonna check out Napa tomorrow for those fittings. Eventually I will have braided line, but I just bought my LQ9 and everything to help it shine so it may be a few weeks before the wife allows more projects haha

I had the braided line from the trans lines from the aftermarket cooler to the radiator. Then I also had the stock oil cooler lines replaced the same as Mine leaked like crazy. I dont have pictures, as these was done on my old silverado ss before it was totaled. I will eventually do the same with this one. Im not going to lie, measure the line length with a buddy and give a little extra slack. It can get expensive depending on what brand of line you with, and the AN fittings and the connectors you will need
