I am trying to install a transmission cooler to my 2017 GMC Canyon Diesel. I was going to bypass the radiator and only using the new transmission cooler i purchased online. I thought i will need additional cooling, i will be towing a 3900 lbs 5th wheel travel trailer soon.
See pictures included. I found what look like transmission lines attached to bottom of radiator. I loosen the bolt on the right side of picture, and coolant fluid were coming out. So i am very confused. Are these transmission fluid lines ? If they are, is there metal tube that runs inside the radiator and the metal tube is surrounded by coolant ? (that will explain why coolant leaks our when i loosen the bolt).
If these are transmission fluid line, i can cut the rubber hose and connect transmission cooler in middle of the hose. Good idea ?
thanks for any advise.
