More profession tranny cooler install

[ryaleon]

So years ago I installed a tru maxx tranny cooler on my 04 H2. Worked great. But now as I am getting ready to install the same cooler on my 08 (significantly nicer vehicle) I am wanting to use better hoses and clamps than the ones included in the kit. I used the included rubber lines and hose clamps on my 04 but was always afraid of a hole rubbing in a hose or a clamp coming loose.
With the 08 I want to avoid those worries and use metal lines and more OEM type fasteners. Does anybody know the best way to go about this?

Tanny shop? I'm pretty sure you'd need flaring and pipe bending tools unless you went with a steel braided type line.

Is the 08 THAT much better than the older model?

You could try -AN fittings from Russell which is basically Edelbrock. I used them for the first time on my GTO. Metal to metal connections, no thread sealer needed, very professional look. I will warn you though, those damn little fittings get pricey after you buy a handful of them.
