[QUOTE="GMC4x4, post: 6795, member: 531"] Today I replaced the leaky radiator with a new lifetime warranty one from Oriellys. While I was at it I went ahead and installed a the biggest transmission cooler they had. It was a Hayden and it fit pretty good in the stock location using the stock mounting holes and nothing to cut, not even the factory lines. Here are pics from the install. If anyone wants more details feel free to ask. Pulled front end apart which as we all know is pretty easy. Notice the puny factory Transmission cooler mounted in the front middle.

I was impressed to see that this radiator came with all new fittings, retainers, hose clamps, and mount bushings.
