Installation of a Tranny Cooler

[ajeepthing]

Hi,
I'm trying to put a Transmission Cooler on my 2000 ZR2 Blazer, has anyone had any experience with this? Specifically, what's the easiest way to get to the front of the radiator? It really looks buried in all the body panels, grille, etc.

I looked at it for about a 1/2 hour last night and couldn't even figure out how to get the dog-gone grille off because of all the cosmetic panels.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

i thought that truck came with a tranny cooler it would be on the passinger side on the rad drivers side is the oil cooler. if not u gotta splice into some lines if there and to removethe grill try taking out the head lights first i believe they come out when u remove 2 plastic tabs on the back side and or take off the spash gard under neith thats an easy one

The whole grill assembly should just pull off. It is connected with just clips. Just do it carefully as I broke one of them pulling it off. Just take your time. It's really easy. Not sure if this will help you get where you want though. There is no need to pull the lights out, but if you do make sure you get the tab behind the lights back into it's slot when you put them back in.

I think yours already has a tranny cooler.

Why do you want to add a tranny cooler? The one on there should be adequate.

However, if your installing a new or rebuilt transmission I see that. When we install a new Jasper, they most times give you a cooler to install and if it is not, no warranty.
