I have a B&M Hi-Tek transmission cooler. It's the big one with the fan. Would it be ok to by-pass the stock cooler and just use the B&M? Also what fitting are needed to make this work? Thanks

It would be okay to bypass, though I have mine running through both I have heard people say it is better to just run it straight to the cooler so that the fluid gets back to the tranny faster.

 

I actually heard the same thing before but I couldnt remember where I heard it from.

 

It can be done either way. It's half a dozen one, six another. I ran mine through the original tranny cooler, than through the new one.

 

Where can I buy these fittings from?

 

My fittings came with the B&M Supercooler 24,000 GVWR. I'm sure if you got the sizes you could find them somewhere.

The return line hose is 5/16"...I believe, my lines going into the cooler was 3/8", I bought my fittings and connectors at NAPA. I had to make a huge connector with three different parts. I hid the connector near the radiator though. I ended up taking a 3/8" barb, getting a connector, than 1/4" barb for the in line, and 3/8" barb, connector, 5/16" barb for the outline.
