    Mounted my air compressor and installed transmission cooler.
    Question about the transmission cooler. After I added the radiator and ran the truck until it warmed up. then before adding more oil I checked the level and it was at the correct mark. Not sure what the level was before. Anyone who did this, how much oils did you guy have to add after the cooler installation?
    Thanks

    I just replaced the radiator/tranny cooler in my wife's Subaru. I ran into the same situation where the install of the new cooler didn't require any additional tranny fluid. From the research I did, it looked like there is actually only a negligible amount of fluid in the cooler itself and most of it is in the tranny, converter and lines. I'd imagine it's the same for you. Worst comes to worst, add a bit and call it good.

    looks just like my cooler setup. My experience was similar but keep checking it.

    i ended up adding a half a quart I think but it took a bit of driving for it to show up.
