I’m back with an Esky this time

[Sam Harris]

I just bought another one for the 18 Silverado couple weeks ago, I think this is about the best price around still. I just used the rubber hose and fitting that are included with the cooler and clamped over the factory lines. I used a bracket to move the ambient temp sensor over a few inches because it kept telling me it was 125 deg''s outside because it was sitting behind the cooler, when i mounted the cooler I used some 1" stand-off's I didn't want it flush up against the radiator support. I originally went with a flex-a-lite but it's didn't do shit

That’s a great price. I’ve got the one with the cold weather bypass on my list. It’s more $$ but figure I need that one here in Co.

That's a nice setup.

Figured you’d like my plate. [emoji23]

I can’t bring myself to use rubber hose on a barbed fitting with a hose clamp for a trans line. I seen a buddy do it on a brand new trans and hose popped off and puked all the ATF out and smoked the new trans. They rebuilt it again because he said it just stopped working but I made him use hard lines and fittings. Shamed him into it really. I couldn’t imagine having my family loaded up heading up north and the line blow off. I’ve just seen too many things that can go wrong, go wrong.

But I like that pan. I may have to order one. Thanks for the links. I’m gonna see if I can find factory fittings to fit that cooler.

the fittings are barbed so I didn't think it would be a issue, I saw in your earlier post about the trans line pressure being up to 300psi? where did you get that info? I was under the impression the trans lines ran maybe 25-30 psi

I was originally gonna say 250PSI but didn’t want to spread bad info. So I looked it up on trucktransdiag.com.

To ease your mind from thinking rubber lines will blow off the fittings, when that happened to my buddy, he took the lines out of his radiator and slipped a hose over the line. Figured it had a flare on the end and it would hold with a hose clamp. It didn’t. And he had to pull trans again. So that’s a little different than hose on a barbed fitting. Barbs do hold better. That was a 4L60e, it’s pressure are:

I'm pretty sure those are internal pressure ratings, the flow through to the cooler is not anywhere close to that high, I was wondering because I had looked into it before.

they must be testing on a high pressure port for internal pressure
