2013 automatic transmission "COOLER" relocation

Just like the title says. has anyone done it or know how to do it? trying to install some lights in my grill but it's in the way.

 

Loooooool

 

Good answer. thanks for the help

 

Wtf

 

Transmission *Cooler* Relocation?

 

Added pictures

 

Oh OK I got it now I was thinking that's a lot of work to relocate your transmission just to put some lights behind your grill. I see the pics you added now.

 

Yea if I was going to relocate my transmission it would be for a ls swap lol

 

Sorry about that

 

Just move it. better yet replace and get a better cooler and put it where you want it.

 

Move it where? point of why I made this post

 

I needed more room to mount my large LED's behind the grill.

I cant find any pics of when I did the job, and getting pics now would require removing the front plastics on the truck....

I unbolted one end of the transmission cooler, and was able to bent the thin sheet metal mount of the other side downward. I then used some scrap metal to make a mounting point for the side I moved to a hole already drilled in the truck. I also had to grind down one corner of the cooler bracket with my angle grinder to gain the clearance for my lights. I did not remove the cooler or disconnect the coolant lines in any way while doing this.

I found a basic how to on here on what I did. I also used that to relocate my horns for clearance.

 

Anyway you can tag me in the post or drop a link?

@tomwil thank you for the help

 

If you get one with an electric fan (recommended since you'll be moving from a good wind area) you can put anywhere it's convenient. I've seen them laying flat towards the back.

I would research more but I've seen it!

Had to move mine for my inner cooler . If that doesn't work hit up urd and ask them for there transmission oil cooler and mounting bracket for there supercharger systems .

 

Could not resist after I saw the thread title.

My truck came with all the lights this this deaf-dumb-blind-kid will ever need. Leave the transmission cooler where it is.
