Default Radiator/Trans cooler

After doing alot of reading on trans coolers and the need to replace my radiator I decided to do both at once. I'm using a radiator from Rockauto: Vista-Pro 431330 (OEM numbers 1725, 9413, 99413) - fits w/o AC, w/ HD cooling, w/ AC, w/ MAX cooling More Information for VISTA-PRO 431330 and a TruCool 4739-1 w/o bypass: Tru-Cool MAX transmission cooler *without external cold weather thermal bypass Makco Transmission Parts and am routing in sequence.

Just wondering will the stuff I've chosin work together (3 diffrent radiators is the problem) or do I need to order something else? Am I going to need anything special to do this? Any extra parts or fittings I may need? Any idea how much trans fluid I will need to fill the new cooler?

Couple quarts should fill the tranny back up, no special tools, but if your replacing the AC you will need the evac tools...

Thanks, would love to do the AC but $ says no so it'll wait for the IC.

Then its a pretty easy swap...Might look at doing a T-stat while you have it all apart and a new housing, they are junk and good for about one install.

Yeah t-stat is about 2 months old, water neck is a month and I'm going to do a new o-ring when I pull things off. Being "easy" never works for me, something always causes issues-spent 2 hours re-wiring my fog lights only to have to pull then out to put in new bulbs
