How to Determine if Transmission Cooler Will Fit In Front of the Radiator on a 1999 Chevy Silverado
Question:
Sir I have a 99 Chevy Silverado 2500 6 liter engine pickup I want to replace the factory cooler with the Derale stacked-plate coolr. Do you know if this cooler will fit in the area in front of the radiator?

Expert Reply:
For transmission coolers you have to go by their dimensions compared to the available space where you want to install it. Stacked plate cooler # D51908 is 13 inches across, 7-7/16 inches tall, and 2 inches deep. If you have more than this much space in front of the radiator then it will fit your 1999 Chevy Silverado.
This particular cooler is not a kit so it doesn't come with any hose or mounting components. To mount it you can use # D50020. For hose you can use # D15799 and clamps # D13008. And to avoid having to cut and flare factory lines you can use fitting # D13018.
