What is the best transmission cooler for a 2013 GMC Yukon 6.2

Hey Doug! I checked with Derale and since your 2013 GMC Yukon has the 6.2L engine, the best transmission cooler is their Atomic-Cool Remote Cooler Assembly w/ Fan, -6 AN Inlets - Class V item # D13750. This transmission cooler will provide you with the maximum level of efficiency even at low speeds and idle. It has a built in fan so you can mount it anywhere in the engine compartment. This is a universal set up so you'll need to supply your own lines.
The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit item # D13504, you were looking at, would be another option and easier to install. It is a fixed mount transmission cooler that attaches to your radiator. If you go this route you'll also need the the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting for GM item # D13035 and item # D13002 but everything else is included.
