Transmission Cooler Installation - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche

Today on our 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche, we'll be installing the Derale Transmission Cooler, part number D12906. We'll also be using the Derale Universal Mount Kit, part number D13002 and the GM Radiator Adaptor, part number D13035.Now our truck has had some modifications so the removal of the grill is different than normal, so we will not be showing it. With our grill out of the way, we'll go ahead and test fit the cooler.After finding a good spot for our cooler, using a couple of bolts and nuts we purchased separately, we'll attach the Derale brackets to the cooler. At this point, we want to leave the brackets loose until theyre mounted to the vehicle. We can go ahead and attach the rubber line to the cooler as well using two of the worm clamps. It also may be necessary to use some transmission fluid as lubricant to get the line around the fittings.We can now tighten down the worm clamp securing the rubber line to our cooler.

• What Should the Shift Pressure be Set At Using a Superchips Cortex on a 2008 Chevy Avalanche
  
• I spoke to my contact at Superchips about the Cortex tuner # SU2950 and the shift pressure on your 2008 Chevy Avalanche. He stated that it all depends on your personal preference. He recommended maxing it out, try it, and if it shifts too hard for your liking back it down. The harder it is set the more efficient it will be. The Superchips Value setting is an option and is just where they think it should be for a given vehicle. But ultimately it comes down to what you want.

• Problems Pairing the Hand-Held Remote with the Tekonsha Prodigy RF on a 2008 Chevy Avalanche
  
• Pairing the Prodigy RF, # 90250, does require following the steps to the letter. However, there are some cases where the in-cab part does not display what the instructions say it should. In those cases, if it does not display what it should right away then you would just go on to the next step and continue the installation per the instructions. This seems to solve the pairing problems. Once it is all paired up the manual override should work as it is supposed to. If you still have pairing pro

• Installing a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2007 Chevy Avalanche
  
• On a 2007 Chevy truck or SUV, in this case your Avalanche, under the dash there are tow package wires to install a brake controller. It sounds like you may have the red wire on the controller attached to an illumination circuit. Here is how it should wire into the truck: Brake controller black wire goes to truck red/black wire Brake controller white wire goes to truck white wire Brake controller red wire goes to truck light blue/white wire Brake controller blue wire goes to truck dark

• Installation of Curt Front Mount Receiver # 31302 on 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  
• After some research, I have found the Curt Front Mount Receiver # 31302 is the only such trailer hitch we carry for your 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. It has a line pull capacity of 9000 lbs, a vertical load of 500 lbs, and a gross trailer weight of 5000 lbs. The hitch features a 2-inch receiver opening with a pin hole diameter of 5/8 inches and does not need welding for installation. Typically, the receiver would be installed with the receiver tube on the underside of the crossbar, which might r

• What Locking Hitch Pin for EZ Hitch Adjustable Steel Ball Mount Kit, Part # AM3290
  
• The EZ Hitch Adjustable Steel Ball Mount Kit, Part # AM3290, is illustrated in the attached photo. I have indicated several key measurements. The shank of this ball mount uses a standard 5/8-inch hitch pin to secure to your hitch receiver. If you wish to replace this with a locking pin you can use part # BD580402 from Bulldog. This locking 5/8-inch hitch pin is made of solid stainless steel, includes 2 square keys and comes with a plastic cap to cover and protect the lock mechanism from moist

• Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2010 Chevy Avalanche 1500
  
• When choosing a transmission cooler, the best practice is to go with the largest and most efficient cooler that will fit in the available space. The ideal mounting location for a transmission cooler is directly behind the grille, in front of the a/c condenser and radiator. If the available space will accommodate the 11 by 12 inch by 7/8 inch thick size of the # D13504 you mentioned, the # D13504 would be your best choice. I would also recommend the # D13035 Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting

• If you use the Extreme power level on your Edge EvoHT # EP26050 you will need to run premium grade gasoline. This setting will advance your timing and lean your air to fuel ratio out to the point that if you run regular octane gas you will see spark knock which can damage your motor.

• Installing Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller on 2008 Chevy Avalanche for Use with Trailer
  
• The Tekonsha P3 Proportional Brake Controller, part # 90195, works with any tow vehicle, but the wiring harness included in part # 90195-3015P, is intended for 2003-2006 General Motors vehicles, not for your 2008 Avalanche. Please refer to the three included articles/videos which will show and explain the required wiring. Please note that the center stop light (CHMSL) wire is not necessarily orange in color. The wiring from the brake controller connects to the vehicle as follows: White gro

• Weight Distribution for a Trailer with 800 Pounds Tongue Weight and a 2007 Chevy Avalanche
  
• Depending on the weight distribution you currently have and its approximate age, you may just be able to switch out the bars as opposed to a complete new system. You will also want to make sure that the hitch on your 2007 Chevy Avalanche and the vehicle itself are rated for weight distribution and the 800 pound tongue weight of your trailer. There are systems rated as high as 1,500 pounds tongue weight. Typically you want a system with a range that encompasses the tongue weight of your traile

• Recommended Folding Cargo Carrier for 2003 Chevy Avalanche
  
• The Curt Cargo Carrier you mentioned, part # C18132 will certainly fit, but you will need to take a measurement to determine if it can be folded up against the rear of the vehicle once installed. Measure from your hitch pin hole in the receiver rearward until the clear the furthest rearward portion of the back bumper. If this measurement is less than three inches (2-1/2 would be better), the cargo basket will be able to fold. If you find that the Curt Carrier you mentioned will not fold, w

• What Options for Side Steps for 2005 Chevy Avalanche
  
• Clad moldings are the curved decorative plastic panels that are fitted to various parts of the Avalanche. These cosmetic panels are usually held in place by an adhesive or double-sided tape and they cover painted parts of the chassis. They are typically grey or black on the Avalanche. You will find them along the roof line, on the cargo bed and also between the doors and the wheel wells. As you consider which tube steps would best suit you, you will want to determine whether or not you have t

• Custom Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche
  
• We do have custom towing mirrors available for your 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche as long as they are the standard OEM mirrors and are not extendable or telescoping mirrors. I have attached a photo of what the front and back of the mirrors should look like for the towing mirrors. We offer three different sets of custom towing mirrors. The most economically priced set are the K-Source Custom Towing Mirrors, # KS80900. These mirrors will add a 4-3/4 inch wide by 5-1/2 inch tall mirror to your OEM m

• Trailer Brakes Lock Moving Forward But Release Going Backward on 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  
• This is a very strange problem. If your 2003 Chevy Avalanche has a 7-Way trailer connector, make sure that it is pinned out correctly like in the picture I have provided by checking the pins with a circuit tester, # 3808, if needed. Then make sure that the trailer is wired to match the Avalanche 7-Way. Anything that does not match up could be causing the problem. If the trailer is using a 6-Way and you have an adpater that could be the problem. There are 2 ways to wire a 6-Way, the center pi

• Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller to a 2006 Chevy Avalanche
  
• Installing a 7-Way trailer connector on your 2006 Chevy Avalanche is actually going to be pretty easy. All you will need is # 30955. Even if the Avalanche did not come with a factory 7-Way, the wiring is still present and you will just need to connect this harness to the truck wiring. Under the truck, usually located above the spare tire, there is a harness with a plug on it like in the picture I have included (the picture is also lower on the product page for # 30955). The 30955 harness will

• Alternate Wiring of Peak Performance Wireless Back-Up Camera # PK015737
  
• Installing the transmitter on the front trailer wall might work for you, but it will depend on how much line-of-sight interference there is between the transmitter and the monitor. You should do your best to keep the transmitter out of the elements, so mounting it on the inside of the trailer or other protected area is best. Variables such as the thickness and composition of the trailer wall and whether or not anything will be in the truck bed to interfere with the signal from the transmitter to

• Is there a Ladder Rack that Will Fit a 2006 Chevy Avalanche
  
• Because the Chevy Avalanche has a unique bed design, there are no ladder racks that will fit it. What you can do is add a roof rack, see link, and also use a trailer hitch, like # C15524 if needed, and use the Thule Goalpost, # TH997, and achieve the same effect. Or, you could use a universal roof rack single bar, # DTA968, the hitch, and Goalpost, which would be more economical than a complete roof rack.

• Average MPG Gains with Superchips Vivid LINQ on 2003 Chevy Avalanche with 5.3L Engine
  
• Superchips provides average HP and Torque increases that are attainable, but due to the fact that there are many variables that will effect the realized fuel economy such as vehicle condition, altitude and driving style, Superchips cannot provide anything guaranteed in the way of mpg improvement numbers. However, my Superchips contact tells me that through testing and consumer feedback, they find a 2-3 mpg improvement is typical. You can view a product demonstration video by clicking on th

On your 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche, the brake control wire will be located just to the right of the under hood fuse box between the fuse box and the driver side fender. The battery charge wire will be located to the left of the fuse box under the master cylinder. Both wires will have different sized eyelets attached to them and those siz

• How to Choose the Correct Ball Mount for a 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche 4x4 with 18 Inch Wheels
  
• To determine which ball mount you will need to tow your pop up trailer with your 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche, you will need to take two measurements. The first measurement is your hitch height. You can find this by measuring from the ground to the top of your trailer hitch receiver. The next measurement that you will need is the coupler height of your trailer. With your trailer level, measure from the ground to the bottom of your trailers coupler. If the hitch height is greater than the tra

• Assuming that you choose the correct rotor that matches your wheel bearing numbers and wheel bolt pattern, you would need to choose a hydraulic actuator that is appropriate for disc brakes like the Atwood # 88730 you referenced. Due to the fact that the calipers move, you would need to provide a brake like kit that has a flexible connection at the caliper like part # 9579-2 which will work with disc brakes.

• Can an Edge Evolution Programmer be Switched from a 2004 Chevy Avalanche to Another Truck
  
• The Edge Evolution for gas engines, # EP85150, does have multiple applications but it is not universal so it will depend on the truck make and model and what engine is in it. I have included the long list from Edge below. You would need to download the correct tune when changing amongst these vehicles.

• Recommended Transmission Cooler and Locating Transmission Return Line on 2007 Chevy Avalanche
  
• The return line is typically the bottom line, but you should confirm by doing the following. Start cold engine, place the transmission in drive for about 10 seconds, then shift back to park and shut motor off. Then, feel the upper and lower transmission lines. One line should be noticeably cooler than the other. The cooler of the two lines would be the return. Since you cannot over cool a transmission, we recommend choosing the largest cooler that will fit into the space available. The

• Adapter Needed to Use a 4-Way or 5-Way Trailer Connector with a Factory 7-Way Socket
  
• There are a couple of ways you could attach a 4-way or 5-way connector to your factory 7-way connector on your 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche. If you wanted to have the option to use both a 4-way and 5-way connector without having to keep track of multiple items, then you may want to check out the Hopkins 7 Pole to 4 Pole and 5 Pole Adapter, # 37385. This adapter will insert into the 7-way socket on your vehicle and has connections for a 4-way and a 5-way trailer connector. If you only wanted

• Light and Wiring Recommendations for Flat Towing a 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche
  
• Because the Chevrolet Avalanche vehicles have so much body trim that is plastic, like on the top of the rear bumper and the top of the bedsides, you would need to use the Deluxe Magnetic Tow Lights, # RM-2100, on the sides of the vehicle near the rear taillights. I believe a better option for your truck is the TrailerMate Tow Bar Wiring for the 2008 Avalanche, # TM780018, which will let you connect your RV signal lights to the Avalanche lighting system.

• The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter, # 3015-P, will not work with your 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche because General Motors quit offering the plug in type connectors on trucks and SUVs with a factory tow package in 2007. Instead, you will find a bundle of blunt cut wires to the left of the steering column under the dash with a white label. The brake controller wires will connect directly to the wires under the dash.

• Can Installation Kits for One Truck be Used with Westin Tube Step Nerf Bars for a Different Truck
  
• First, the bars and installation kits are not available separately. They are paired together so that adding different brackets to a different bar may not always work the way it needs to. The correct 4-1/4 inch tubes for your 2002 Chevy Avalanche if it has Clad Molding is # 22-5045-1535. These are cab length bars. There is no wheel to wheel option for the 2002 Chevy Avalanche.

The metal parts are steel but have a zinc-dichromate coating for corrosion resistance. The handle is made of sturdy plastic that will not rust.
