There are a few transmission coolers that fit your 2010 Chevy Avalanche and the price will vary. I included a link showing you all the transmission coolers we currently offer for you to look at.

Your Avalanche will have a factory cooling system but not a transmission cooler. Obtaining one will prolong the life of your transmission and improve it's overall performance.

The Derale transmission cooler I recommend is # D13504 because it's a plate and fin cooler. The plate and fin cooler forces fluid through smaller plates causing agitation of the fluid. See the diagram I included showing you the best location to install.

You will also need a hose fitting # D13035. It will easily install the transmission cooler without having to cut or flare any lines.

I would contact your local mechanic regarding installation cost since it could vary.

I included a couple informative articles for you too.
