Sweet! Next question: You going to add a transmission fluid filter?Yes I did.
8m using the existing line that my truck has in the front. Going thru the rad also.Did you get the kit someone on GM Performance sells that includes the hoses and the fittings?
No I'm using the filter that the trans has.Sweet! Next question: You going to add a transmission fluid filter?
Why do I ask? Because I think I'd like to employ both, so figured I'd start learning as much as possible.
For what it's worthNo I'm using the filter that the trans has.
For what it's worth
Stock trans filter is a rock catcher. Designed to stop large debris from entering the pump, create minimal resistance to flow. It's not a fine filter as we would think of like an engine oil filter.
I have a magnefine plumbed inline w/ my cooler lines. Also have one on my power steering too. Even with some pretty neurotic maintenance, both filters were able to catch some fine bits - like anti-seize.
Haven't established a change interval yet. I did a trans service - drop pan, change fluid, filter, gasket, etc and popped the inline one in there at the same time. Ran it for 1000 miles, changed it, and it's been in there ever since. ~8kmi ago. I'll probably take it out at 15k and see how it looks, adjust from there. I'm not terribly worried about leaving it in too long. The filter has a bypass valve so worst case, it reverts to 'stock' if it gets plugged.@SnowDrifter
Do you have any pics? I'm curious to see the set up. How often do you change the filters?

I'm going to give a shot and do some testing as well.

And personal preference, use constant tension clamps for the hose. I don't remember where I got mine... But make sure they're thick ones, not thin stuff. Better than screw clamps IMO
