Ready to pull trigger on Derale trans cooler - need advice

[mikez71]

Thanks. Yeah, I saw some other posts that made it sound like installing the lines was a real bear. Glad to hear another perspective that said it wasn't so bad. Do you have 4wd? If so did you remove the front driveshaft?

Yep, 4wd, did not have to remove driveshaft. Just need to take time to wiggle the front hardline/hose sections through where it needs to go. Slow, but easy.

For the TYC cooler, it came with the proper bracket, but no screws. (Need 2)

More Information for TYC 19031

Looks like the Dorman has anodized/painted fittings where the TYC is bare aluminum, ~$25 difference at Rockauto.

The new lines do come with the radiator shroud brackets. The additional bracket you listed, you should have one from the old lines IIRC.
(cheap and plastic so it won't hurt to get a new one)
