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: Larry S.02/28/2018
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.

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.

Appreciate the recommendation to get this part for my install to be complete

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.
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.
by: John01/06/2023
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.

Absolutely no problems or leaks with this product.
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!

No leaks still doing its job
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

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: 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: 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: 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: JJ09/25/2019
adapter was a perfect fit for 2004 Escalade ESV - allowed me to finish the installation. one year later no leaks!

- Transmission Cooler Recommendation For 2013 GMC Yukon XL With 5.3L EngineYou will want to determine where there is enough space to mount a transmission cooler on your 2013 GMC Yukon XL. If there is room, using the largest cooler that will fit is a good idea, especially if you are towing. I have attached a drawing that shows the best places to mount a cooler, with 1 being the preferred location, which is between your vehicle's grille and the AC condenser core. For your Yukon I recommend the Derale Transmission Cooler, part # D13504. This cooler measures 11...

- Recommended Transmission Cooler For a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets # D13504 for your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500. This cooler is compatible with all 3 engine combinations your Sierra comes with. The kit ties into your Sierra by removing the return hose connection of the transmission line and sending fluid from the radiator to the cooler then back to the transmission. Depending on your skill level you may consider having this professionally installed as it does involve removing...

If you are concerned about high transmission fluid temperatures, I recommend an auxiliary transmission cooler. The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb...
view full answer... - Fitting Needed to Install Transmission Cooler on 2003 Chevy Silverado Without Cutting LinesThe Derale # D13035 you'd looked at is the fitting you'll need to install a transmission cooler like # D12903 on your 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500. The # D13035 will allow you to install a transmission cooler without cutting the existing transmission lines, as you can see in the video I've linked for you. The video shows a transmission cooler being installed on a 2003 Chevy Avalanche, but the procedure would be identical for your Silverado.
view full answer... - Recommendation of Transmission Cooler for 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Towing a 6,000 Lb TrailerThe Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, part # D13504, is a Class IV cooler which means it is designed for vehicles that are towing up to 12,000 lbs. Since you will be towing a 6,000-lb travel trailer with your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, it would be a good decision to go with this Class IV transmission cooler added to the factory transmission cooler in your radiator. You will need to measure in front of your A/C condenser to find out if you have enough room to install...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2009 Chevy Silverado 2500 6.0 LiterThe most popular cooler for your 2009 Chevy Silverado 2500 6.0 liter and what I recommend is the Derale cooler # D13504. This is a larger cooler at 11 x 12 inches so it will offer a large area to cool the fluid. To avoid having to cut and flare lines I also recommend fitting # D13035.
view full answer... - Does Install of Transmission Cooler on 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 Require Fitting AdaptersAccording to Derale you would not use the # D13035 when installing a transmission cooler like the # D13504 on your 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 5.3 liter engine. Instead the rubber lines of this kit attach directly without the use of an adapter.
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2008 Chevrolet Colorado 3.7 LSince transmission fluid cannot be over cooled, you will want to choose the largest and highest rated transmission cooler that will fit on your 2008 Chevrolet Colorado. In this case, I recommend installing the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13504. This cooler measures 11 inches wide x 12 inches tall x 7/8 inches deep. I have included a short video for you. For a vehicle specific fitting you can use the Derale Snap-In Adapter Fitting for GM, # D13035.
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2006 Hummer H3The best way to pick out a transmission cooler to replace the factory one on your 2006 Hummer H3 would be to measure the area in front of your radiator/AC condenser and pick out the biggest cooler that would fit in that area. The Derale Cooler # D13504 that you referenced would be an excellent choice for a transmission cooler as long as you have the clearance for it. The dimensions of this cooler are 11 inch wide x 12 inch tall x 7/8 inch deep. I attached an installation video for this...
view full answer... - Recommended Transmission Cooler 2007 GMC Yukon Denali I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13504 for your 2007 GMC Yukon Denali. This plate cooler provides a large surface area to get the most cooling for your transmission fluid. You will need the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting # D13035 to fit your radiator when installing the cooler. I have linked an install video below that we have on a 2009 Yukon for you to reference.
view full answer... - Is Derale Transmission Cooler # D13504 A Good Fit for 2013 Chevy SuburbanThe Derale # D13504 is a great option for your 2013 Chevy Suburban. We organize them by typical application but the bigger the cooler you can fit the better and this is a great size for your vehicle. You'll want the adapter part # D13035 as well too to make installing the cooler easier.
view full answer... - Is There A Transmission Cooler Available For a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse? I recommend using the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13503 on your 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. As the transmission coolers we carry are a universal fit they do not always get listed for every vehicle. 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 Recommendation for a 2005 Chevy ColoradoThe best way to pick out a transmission cooler is to measure the amount of space you have in front of your radiator and pick out the largest cooler that would fit there. If you have room for it I would recommend you go with a Derale Transmision Cooler part # D13502. This cooler measures 11 inches wide by 7-1/4 inches tall by 7/8 inches deep. You will also want the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting # D13035 to make installation easier. Check out the install video and FAQ article...
view full answer... - How To Find Return Line When Installing Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission CoolerIn regards to installing a transmission cooler like the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler part # D13503, you will need to identity the return line. In order to do this, take a few short laps around the block and then grab one of the two transmission hoses feeding the radiator. The cooler of the two hoses will be the return line. Please note, for GM applications you'll also most likely need the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting part # D13035.
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.
view full answer... - Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2008 Chevy SilveradoI recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13503 for your 2008 Chevy Silverado; you'll need Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting # D13035 as well. This is a highly efficient, direct-fit cooler that comes with a mounting kit and is very highly regarded by our customers who have used it, as you can see in the reviews on the product page. I've add links to a video review and install for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation For 2008 GMC Sierra w/ 6.0L Engine For TowingWe can get your 2008 GMC Sierra 2500HD set up with a new auxiliary transmission cooler to get the lowest temperature possible when towing, and you're right that a smaller cooler won't provide the best temperature control. 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...

Because we are in the towing industry, our customers are used to seeing Class ratings on their trailer hitches, so this is an easy way to alert the customer as to which cooler is the most efficient for their towing needs. Therefore we use the Class rating to let customers know that if they have a Class II...

view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500HDI would recommend you go with as big of a transmission cooler as you can fit in your 2005 Chevy 1500HD. You will need to measure the available space in front of the radiator to pick out the biggest one that will fit there. The part # D13614 would be an excellent choice as it is a very efficient cooler. It's dimensions are 11" Wide x 11-3/8" tall x 1-1/4" deep. Check out the review video I attached for more info. You will also need the fitting part # D13035.

If you are interested in a transmission cooler only, I recommend the Derale Transmission Cooler, part # D13503. This cooler measures 11 inches wide x 8-3/4 inches tall x 7/8 inch deep. This is a plate-fin cooler which is very efficient, and will help improve your transmission overall performance. I have...

- Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4.8LIf your transmission temperature is exceeding 200 degrees Fahrenheit, I would recommend adding a supplemental transmission cooler. One of the leading causes for transmission failure is overheating and decreasing your transmission temperature will prolong the life of your transmission. For your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, I recommend installing the largest transmission cooler that will fit in front of your AC condenser or radiator. If you have the space available, I recommend installing...

I also recommend getting the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting for GM # D13035 for an easy install. I've attached a video of a similar install for your reference.
