Video Transcript for Derale Snap In Radiator Adapter Fitting Installation
We're going to show you how to install the Derale Factory GM Adapter, part number D1303l5, which helps us out, because it means we don't have to cut or alter anything on the vehicle as far as factory connections. Now, to slide this into our hose, we're going to wrap it up with a nice, soft cloth, just like that. Then maybe use a pair of pliers or something to hold it. You don't want to mar it, you don't want to scar it, because it makes the seal inside of there . Then we'll just kind of .. There will be good.
We'll have plenty of room here for our hose clamp. Slide that down on and tighten it up. Now we can take our adapter and slide it right into the back of the radiator, and re-secure it with the clip. That's going to complete today's installation of the Derale Factory GM Adapter, part number D13035.

Based on how this felt after installation, I was sure it was going to leak. I'm glad I was wrong. It works wonderfully.

Package arrived a day earlier than expected. Will be a week or two before installation. Products appear to be of great quality. Looking forward to installing the cooler.

What I needed to install the Derale transmission cooler as a secondary cooler on my 2010 Suburban.
by: Mathew Brizendine07/22/2022
Hello. I ordered your products for both my wife"s 2011 Chevy Suburban and my 2008 Chevy Silverado. My Silverado also needed the the trailer wiring which I also obtained from you. Thank you for outstanding customer service and great products. Delivery times were great as well. Please find atached pics of install in the Suburban.

Auxiliary radiator works great and was very easy to install after looking at etrailers video online.
I would have given it 5 Stars if the cheap piece of hose that came with the kit had not blown on the way home from work and sprayed all my trans fluid under the highway.

Appreciate the recommendation to get this part for my install to be complete
by: Robert07/27/2020
The transmission radiator , was a involved install, changed to a set of brackets, aluminum, to free float the radiator between the A/C dryer and Louvered shutters of the truck. Didn’t like connecting the two together for thinking heat sinking possibilities and become less effective. Was running at 139F, now 105F.
Your install video was very helpful to my planning and how I was going to do it. Install was on a 2020 GMC Canyon.
by: Stephen08/10/2023
This made the installation so much easier. I hate cutting into any automotive lines (brake,coolant,transmission). Initially it doesn’t look like it will work but it does, no leaks.
by: Stephen07/08/2021
This adaptor was a must for the cooler installation as the adaptor included with the cooler kit did not fit my vehicle. This alloy adaptor was not listed for fit on my 2017 GMC Sierra. I contacted the manufacturer and they could not verify fit. I purchased the adaptor anyhow and compared gage measure to the original tube fitting on my vehicle and it was the exact fit. I would prefer the adapter be another 1/2"- 3/4" longer as I used two hose clamps at each hose connection on my installation to insure good seal.

I used this snap-in connector fitting in the Grand Caravan when I installed the Derale 8000 transmission oil cooler. Snap-in fitting worked great in the return side. Reasonably priced and quick shipping. Now I'll have to install a cooler in the daughter's van too! Thanks etrailer for the excellent support and products.
by: Jon S.04/28/2020
Works as expected, although the snap ring was hard to put back on. Maybe just that my fingers are too big to hold onto it and get it installed. Only thing better would be if it came with a second snap ring, I lost mine for about 20 min on the ground since it popped off while uninstalling the original pipe.

Product was exactly as described. Easily snapped into place where stock transmission line fit, and provided a simple way to add an addition transmission cooler with no cutting or awkward fittings

Part works as described. Im happy.
by: Bill F.10/02/2016
I ordered a transmission cooler for my '09 Tahoe that, even with the small cooler for the towing package, just could not handle the California/Oregon mountains. I had my trusted mechanic install it (he has much greater expertise than I). I've just returned from an identical trip over those same mountains. What a difference! Instead of topping out at 230 degrees (dangerous), I topped out at 183, only 13 degrees from normal operating temp. I ordered the cooler and installation hardware. It's been awesome not to have to worry anymore about transmission burn out hauling my trailer that is 25% BELOW advertised towing capacity of this vehicle. Kudos to etrailer for offering such great products!

Absolutely no problems or leaks with this product.
by: Bob G.06/09/2013
I received the cooler and Snap-In radiator adapter and thankfully it was sooner than expected. Everything was in order except that the cooler hose was 5/16" ID and the cooler and adapter are 3/8". Since the hose was not long enough (I needed 6ft) I was going to have to purchase hose anyway.
Everything works fine on my 2011 Chevy Traverse but unfortunately I neglected to take photos of the installation. However as a note for other Traverse Installers it is necessary to remove the front clip in order to gain access to the radiator. I made my own bracket to hold the cooler and mounted it in front of the AC condenser on the steel bumper which is accessible after the fascia (clip) is removed. I do not like the direct contact with the condenser. The bracket is bolted to the bumper as I drilled and tapped holes for the mounting points.
The clip is easy to remove after removing the inner fender guards. The factory manual suggests using a plastic wedge to unsnap the fascia below the headlamps. I used a plastic one that is used for installing glass/window seals.
It wasn't a quick install but not too difficult either. A significant part of the time spent involved the design,cutting and welding of the bracket.
Thanks,
Bob

No leaks still doing its job
by: Gary08/06/2019
Installed this in my 2008 Avalanche, utilizing the following kit:
D13504 - This cooler
D13002 - Mounts
D13003 - Extra hose
D13035 - GM adapter
Everything went well, took the longest time just figuring how I wanted it mounted in the front to make me happy, second to the time spent was of course removing the front fascia of the car. Once I got it in place the only extra things I needed were some P-clips for hose mounting, some split loom and zip ties(my necessity to prevent chafing ever). The GM adapter went in fine, was a bit leery of how 'loose' it felt even after being clipped in, it does move in and out about a 1/4" but this is normal and no leaks present, just make sure the clip retains the adapter. Pushing the new hose on the old hard line that went to the radiator is a bit of a bear, use lube on all your hose barbed ends to ensure easy insertion. Also when mounting the cooler, some screws were attached to the bracing of the car, pre-drilling those holes with a small bit helps tremendously, rather than risk trying to drive a self tapper in with force, slipping and putting a hole in your condenser.
After install, transmission is running about 30-40 degrees cooler in normal city driving, will test to see how it does with a tow load. Under towing I would get up to just shy of 220 degrees in the Florida heat, hoping to see it stay below 190 under load.
by: Jerry S.07/14/2020
I bought this because the transmission temp in my 2013 Avalanche was hitting 220 when towing a boat. Which seems high. After researching I found that transmissions in those models are ok up to a maximum of 275 degrees (which seems crazy but it is rated that high from chevy. There’s a website called Silverado.com that has a lot of info ). I installed this product and it worked really well. Easy install with the video if you have mechanical ability. Dropped temps by about 30 degrees. Still working great no problems. Only concern I have is that the transmission temp stays pretty low in the winter. It’s working well though. I would highly recommend this product. Good products, good service!
by: Robert06/10/2018
Worked easily and perfectly for my 2008 Chevy TrailBlazer 4.2L with built-in transmission cooler, in order to connect to my additional Derale D13504 cooler using 11/32" hose. I was surprised that it didn't leak at all, as it snapped in so easily and could be spun, but it hasn't leaked in the year since I put it in.
by: Wayne01/17/2022
We have been very happy with the performance of the transmission cooler. There was a significant drop in transmission temperature after replacing the stock cooler with your product when pulling our camper. Very easy to install on our Chevy pickup.
by: Rhett09/18/2016
This is the exact part you will need to install transmission cooler on your GM vehicle. It connects the return hose to the factory cooler. I forgot to order it and then realized after watching some videos and reading reviews like this and luckily ordered it before the install. Great product. That was my first install of a trans cooler and I would have been stressed and baffled without this part. If you have a GM get it! Also, I saw it available elsewhere but this site is great and fast.

- Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2012 Dodge Grand CaravanBecause it uses a cartridge style oil filter instead of a spin-on type, the sandwich adapter required to install an oil cooler can't be used therefore we don't have an option to install an oil cooler for your vehicle. This being said, newer engines do a very good job keeping the oil cool already, so in all honesty a cooler isn't really needed on your vehicle. You could indeed benefit from a transmission cooler, though. The best place to install a cooler is directly in front of the radiator,...

This fitting will allow you to install the cooler without having to cut and flare the factory lines. The flow of the transmission fluid will go from the transmission, to the factory cooler, out from there to the Derale cooler, and then from there back to the transmission. Adding a second cooler will be a tremendous help in keeping the transmission fluid temperature down closer...

This does fit most vehicles with the 5/16" transmission lines, but I recommend adding the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting for GM # D13035. This adapter allows you to easily connect the radiator to the transmission cooler. I attached a demonstration video for you.

The first thing you will want to do is have the transmission taken care of. I am not aware of a separate cooler for the transmission located under the intake manifold. Typically what is used is a line that runs from the transmission to the radiator. The radiator holds engine coolant and the transmission fluid line is run inside the radiator as well. The radiator cools both the engine coolant and the transmission fluid...

I recommend using the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13503 on your 2019 Chevrolet Traverse.

The Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting # D13035 is specifically designed to fit GM radiators which have a snap ring holding the transmission line in place.

view full answer... - Transmission Cooler for 1998 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Pickup Towing 7000-lb Trailer LoadThe good news is that since transmission coolers are not vehicle-specific you are free to install as large a cooler as you have the room to install it. Coolers come in several class ratings depending on their cooling action; I suggest a Class IV cooler like the 11 x 12-inch Derale # 13504 you referenced or the larger 15 x 10 Derale # D12904. For either one you will use hose fitting kit # D13035. Two linked articles will give you lots of good background on transmission coolers and I've...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2010 Chevy Avalanche LTZHey David, so the best option would be to utilize the current cooler you have now and then go with an additional one that installs down stream of it to get maximum cooling power. I would go with the part # D13504 that you referenced for that application and you'd be in a great spot. You'll also want to use the fitting adapter part # D13035 to make the install a little easier as well.

In order to use the above stacked-plate cooler you will need a few items which I have attached for you below but they will vary based on what size transmission lines your 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe uses. The most common is 3/8"...

Unless you live way up north where it gets seriously cold, it's difficult to over-cool a transmission. The best spot to mount a cooler is directly behind the grille in front of the radiator, so we typically recommend choosing the largest cooler that will fit into the available space.

Because you cannot over-cool fluids, the rule of thumb with transmission coolers is that size matters so I recommend a large cooler from Derale, and you'll also need fittings: - Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13504 - Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter...

Transmission coolers are universal fit items so you will want to measure the space you have in front of your air conditioning condenser or your radiator to see what size cooler will fit your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

A stacked plate cooler is going to be the most efficient. For a stacked plate that is very efficient and rated as a Class V I recommend # D13403.

The 8000 Series would have plenty of cooling power for your needs and they are rather slim so you won't have much issue finding space to mount it nor would it affect the cooling power of your radiator.
