Transmission cooler?

THIS ONE THIS ONE
.

It's a factory-spec cooler for a 6.0L truck. Absolutely huge in comparison to your current one, and will bolt right up with some line splicing. You'll need 1/2" transmission line and fittings to splice 3/8" line to it, but this is the most common cooling upgrade.

That's just fine. There is no interval to replace the T-case lube, it doesn't go bad nearly as fast as it does in the transmission. Fill it up with fresh Mercon ATF and it'll last forever.

Yes, the transfer case does not share lubricant with the transmission. It's the same type of ATF, but each unit is drained and filled separately.

I said this a few posts ago. You'll need 1/2" line to go to the cooler, and 3/8" line to connect with the metal tubes coming out next to the fan. You'll also need connectors to splice the two sizes together. Not a bad job at all once you have all the stuff.

Follow the link in post #19 and you will see the 1/2"-3/8" reducer and hose also available for the install. You can buy the whole kit if you like. B.
