Expert Reply:
For a larger vehicle like yours I would recommend going with the larger cooler by Derale part # D13504 that measures 11" Wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep. This will help greatly to reduce the transmission fluid temperatures.
I attached an install video for this cooler on a similar GM SUV as yours for you to check out as well.
