Question:

Will this fit on a 2006 yukon denali xl I believe it has a 4L65e transmisson? I was looking to do one of these and a front mount trans cooler as well. My trans temp has reached 250 while towing up hill. Thanks

Expert Reply:

You are wise to install supplementary transmission cooling for your 2006 GMC Yukon XL since transmission fluid temperatures of 250-degrees Fahrenheit will otherwise certainly shorten its lifespan.

I suggest the Derale # D13504, a high-efficiency Class IV cooler, for your 6.0L. You will also need adapter fitting # D13035 to install it. A video is included to show you the process.

So your transmission is reaching 250 and you have a supplemental cooler as well? It sounds like you might need to get your OEM and supplemental coolers checked out if they aren't able to keep your vehicle cool enough.

thanks , well the coolers are clean , and its not blocked internally , i mean the oil is circulated through the lines . kindly can i know if there is another thing to be checked for the coolers . thanks

@LoaiQ I'm honestly not sure what else you'll need to check. You'll want to have someone who is familiar with transmissions to take a look at what's going on.
