Looks like I have a great opportunity having my bumper being fixed. The body and paint place has to yank the old one anyway and said I can install my cooler before they put on the new one. One less thing for me to RnR. Sweet!
Anyway, I shot some pix of what I believe to be the stock cooler lines (marked A and B). They look real diff from the all metal lines in etrailer.com's install video.
Looking from the grill back to the trans.
Looking from the driver's side toward the fan
Since the factory uses hoses to bridge between the metal tubes, I don't have to cut any tubes, right? Just remove the output one and connect my lines to the aftermarket cooler, right? I looks like their lines are just held on with hose clamps. Which line is the input and output to the factory cooler (the aftermarket cooler is supposed to be fed from the cooled ATF from the factory one)? Lastly, is the ATF under any pressure when I remove the line--how to relieve pressure if so? Thanks in advance!
