Daryl Z71's 2006 Silverado Z71 Re-build

You are depriving the trans of cooling. It is going to die now

I'll see how it goes. I'll probably move the cooler up anyhow.

Might as well do a large cooler with AN fittings and Teflon lines now

I was thinking of doing that too. Not to that extent, but now that you mention it why not.

[Chris]

The cost is why not. Almost 300 for the cooler itself. Then quality lines and fittings will run you at least 200

Good God! Maybe not then.

All my lines and fittings are Eaton Aeroquip. I also had not assembled a teflon line in years, so i had it done. Teflon is not as easy to work with as Rubber.

That's good to know. I may make it a future project.

Looks great Daryl. I think your trans will be fine if you don't do a lot of towing and it beat on it.

 

What brand bar did ya go with?

Yea I'm glad I found it. I'm going to get one for the passenger side too. I won't have to worry about a headliner for a while now.
