If possible, can you take pictures as you go, and create a step by step install for us?

I'm assuming this has an internal transmission cooler?

Yep. I see the connectors on the bottom tank.

Yep. I see the connectors on the bottom tank.

Don't bother me one bit, I want this radiator and I'll use those internal transmission coolers.

 

[H3HummerLineX]

Yes sir. Not sure yet if I will use as I have an external. As far as a step by step, I will take photos but from what I can we it's truly a drop in unit. The craftsmanship is superb. I might hook the trans lines back up at a later point.

It will be in the mid 90's this weekend and humid so in will be able to really see if it's working. Lol

I see walkthroughs on the forum for I5 radiator swap, but although it's noted the fan has to come off the V8 what is required to do so.

Looks great! If you don't mind, what does this setup run? And who did you order from?

Bought from gstyle4u.com $559.00 They are the distributor for CSF. I tried to buy direct but they are wholesale only.

Great looking piece!!!!!

FYI. If you're shopping around looking for this radiator by CSF they do make a single row version that is cheaper. around the $400-$450 mark. Make sure that there's a clear description that its the two row or dual core radiator.

I wonder if the internal trans cooler with a aluminum radiator will keep trans temps lower than a external cooler. This is on my mod list and I am tempted to toss the external trans cooler. I am also running a Efan and cant keep temp below 3/4.

Is the internal trans cooler aluminum as well?

removing the fan on the V8 is not necessary, but might make it easier. It was definitely a tight squeeze when I did my swap.

Whats the core thickness on this rad? (The dual core version)

 

[H3HummerLineX]

I'll have to measure

Did you have a to get fitting adapters or was it a straight bolt on?

[H3HummerLineX]

It's all drop in and bolt on. No mods needed

So how are ur temps??!

 

[H3HummerLineX]

It's not done yet. It should run stock temps. 200-210. What it will do is cool faster when it gets warm.

do they make a manual trans version of this with no internal trans cooler?

You beat me to it! Definitely check the description, the larger core is the one you want if having overheating issues.

 

[H3HummerLineX]

Done! All I can say is WOW!!! Took me under 2 hours. Truly a drop in unit. The only issue I had is that I dropped a bolt in the bucket with the anti-freeze in it LOL

The temps shown, sitting idle for almost 10mins with AC on!!!

It hovers around 202-203 when driving.

Supper happy.
