Are my tranny lines now compatible with the 6.0 or do I need to swap in 6.0 lines too?

The 6.0 fitting are different, but they can be adapted. Ken has a nice write-up on it, Click here. In it you will find the below list:


List of supplies you will need:

6.0 L Cooler
½” Transmission Cooler Line (about 6’)*
3/8”- ½” Barbed Splice Fitting (2 Each) **
Stainless Steel Hose Clamps (6 minimum)
5/16” Fender Washer (2 each) ***
Misc. Clamps (for the hose)

Derale makes a cooler with a fan is the 6.0 cooler better than the derale one?

That, I couldn't tell you. What I can tell you is, the 6.0 cooler will work towing extremely heavy, in 100 degree temperatures, without worry. If you want to go the Derale route, you can, but it isn't necessary. That fan is one more moving part, that can break.

Am I better off getting a junkyard 6.0 cooler or new one?

Better off is a relative term. If you can afford a new one, then there is no worry about any debris from the truck it came from contaminating yours. If you buy a used one, I would make sure it is cleaned well.
