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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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

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.

- Can the Inlet/Outlet Fittings on Trans. Cooler Point Down on a 2006 Chevy ColoradoIt would not be required that you mount a Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, part # D12906, in any particular direction, the line pressure from the transmission will push the fluid through the cooler regardless of if its mounted horizontally, vertically or any direction in between. I would recommend you choose a location based on receiving maximizing airflow through the cooler, regardless of what direction it points. I would also recommend you get a Derale Snap-In Radiator...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2007 Chevy Silverado 4x4 with Tow Package and 5.3 LiterThe ideal operating temperature for the transmission and fluid is between 160 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Transmission fluid cannot be overcooled, so adding an aftermarket cooler would be a good idea as factory coolers can be inadequate for towing applications. The Derale Transmission Cooler, # D13502, is one of the recommended coolers for the 2007 Chevy Silverado with the 5.3 liter engine. Since you are towing upwards of 9,000 pounds, I would recommend a higher capacity cooler like #...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Installation Time on a 2016 GMC CanyonI would rate the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13503 and Adapter Fitting for GM # D13035 at approximately a 1.5-3 hour installation on your 2016 GMC Canyon, depending on the installers skill level.

Some auto makers place a tranny cooler inside the radiator. You can confirm that the unit you are seeing is indeed a stand-alone tranny cooler by following its lines back to the transmission case and you can certainly add on a second cooler for your transmission if you wish and this would indeed be a good idea for your...

If you haven't already picked out a transmission cooler, the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler part # D13502 is what I recommend because it will be the perfect size for the Traverse. The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler also comes with all other components needed for installation...
view full answer... - Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2013 Chevy Silverado w/ 5.3L EngineUnless you live in a climate with very cold weather, the conventional wisdom says that you can't over cool a transmission. We typically recommend that folks choose the biggest cooler that will fit the space available. Since the best spot to install a cooler is directly behind the vehicle grille in front of the radiator and a/c condenser, you'll want to measure the available space to see how much room is available. The Derale # D13503 measures 11W x 8-3/4T x 7/8D, which would be plenty...
view full answer... - Attaching Hose to Transmission Lines When Installing Transmission Cooler on 2005 Chevy SuburbanThe hose from the aftermarket cooler would simply slip over the flare on the end of the line that was removed from the radiator. There will be enough play in the line so that it can be moved back from the radiator. Make sure you slip the hose onto the line far enough so that the flare will prevent the hose from backing off the line once its secured with a hose clamp. I have linked you to some FAQ articles about transmission coolers that you might find helpful.

I also recommend adding fitting # D13035 so you can avoiding having to cut and flare lines. The best place for the cooler is going to be right behind the front grille where it gets the most air flow. I have included some helpful links for you on transmission coolers.

You will just need installation kit # D15752 and mounting kit # D13006. And for the transmission cooler part of the installation you can use fitting # D13035 to avoid having to cut and flare lines.

These upgrades will be sure to increase your truck's performance and fuel economy. For the tuner I highly recommend looking into the Superchips Dashpaq+ Performance Tuner # SU20617 which is made for the GM 5.3 motor. This has pre-loaded tunes for your vehicle that are setup for towing, economy, performance and more. It features a nice looking...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 5.3 liter V8You currently are in a pretty safe zone for your transmission temperature. But if you wanted to maximize the life of your transmission going with a supplemental cooler like the Derale part # D13504 would be a great option. You'll want to install this cooler after your factory cooler and you'll get the best cooling capabilities. For an adapter fitting to make the process easier you'd want the part # D13035. You'll use your existing lines plus the rubber lines that come with the cooler kit.
view full answer... - Combination Transmission/Oil Cooler for 2010 Chevy Tahoe Towing Small TT from Arkansas to AlaskaThe Derale combination transmission/engine oil cooler # D13302 would be an excellent choice for you, if you have the space available directly behind the grille to accommodate its 16-13/16" wide x 12-5/8" tall x 3/4" deep size. If you need something a bit smaller, you can go with the # D13222 which measures 12-13/16" wide x 10-1/4" tall x 3/4" deep. For the transmission cooler circuit, you'd need the # D13064 hardware kit and the # D13035 fitting. For the oil cooler circuit, you'd need...

The part # D13503 is a very popular option that would work well. It measures 11" Wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep. I attached an install video for this cooler for you to check out as well. This will install downstream of your factory cooler that is installed in your truck radiator. You wll also want the fitting part # D13035 to make...

They are also much more durable as the tube fin style has fins that are easily bent. What I would recommend you do is keep your current cooler and then install a supplemental cooler like part # D13503 downstream of it so that you can maximize your cooling efficiency. You will want the fitting part # D13035 to make the install of the cooler easier. This prevents you from...

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. It measures 13 inches wide, 7-5/16 inches tall, and 2 inches deep. I also recommend fitting # D13035 so you do not have to...

The transmission cooler comes with hose, clamps, and mounting hardware. It also includes an Insta-dapt radiator adapter. This adapter is if you have a rubber line, not a metal line, so you can use the...

Your 2009 Chevy Silverado does have a factory transmission cooler, but factory coolers are often inadequate for towing. Since your fluid is reaching 250 degrees, you would benefit greatly from a transmission cooler. For your 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 4.8 liter engine, I recommend the Derale Transmission Cooler, # D13503. This is a class III cooler rated for up to 6,000 pounds gross trailer weight....
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2011 Chevy Silverado with 5.3 Liter EngineThe optimum temperature for transmission fluid is between 160 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit (70 to 93 degrees Celsius) so at 240 (116 Celsius) you were definitely above that range. When towing up a high at low speeds using a low gear or towing mode, if available, would be the correct way to go about towing the trailer. I would recommend adding a transmission cooler to your 2010 Chevy Silverado. I would use a class III or higher cooler rated for at least 6,000 pounds. You can use # D13503...

So you can install as large a cooler as you have space for it and use it for either oil or transmission fluid. You cannot over cool transmission fluid so the largest most-efficient one that will fit is the way to go. The two linked articles will give you plenty of background on the types offered and installation guidance as well. I suggest the...

If you are having issues with the engine overheating then you most likely have other issues going on (i.e. stuck thermostat). With that being said, if you just want to upgrade to an electric fan setup then they don't really offer any exact fits for...
