Question:

Hi, I am going to add a transmission cooler, but am having a hard time deciding which one. I think Ive narrowed it down to the D13504 and D13614. It says the D13504 needs the installation adapter D13035 and will be a direct fit. However, the D13614 seems to be the same other than being about an inch thicker. Am I missing something? Would either one work with the adapter? Im installing this on a 2007 GMC Yukon XL that sees regular towing in California.

Expert Reply:

Both transmission cooler # D13504 and # D13614 can be used on your 2007 GMC Yukon XL. The difference is the capacity. The larger # D13614 has more capacity so it is more efficient but it also takes up more space. If the larger cooler fits I recommend going with it.

You can use fitting # D13035 with either cooler to avoid having to cut and flare lines.
