Upgraded 4R70W transmission cooler

Hey Guys, so i bought an upgraded transmission cooler, and a derale remote filter kit. I am having some trouble figuring out how to set this up. I was wondering if anyone else on here has done this to their truck and how they ran the set up. I know you cut the transmission lines where they come up for the auxiliary transmission cooler, and flare the ends ( dont have a flaring tool )
I just wanted to see if anyone else has done this, and if so, how? thanks


Heres the cooler:

A stacked plate cooler is better than a tube and fin, but these should help.

So, are you saying that your truck already has the trans cooler mounted in front of the radiator/condenser? If you do, you don't need a larger one for light towing. If your truck only has the trans cooler inside the radiator, yes you need an additional cooler in series with the cooler inside the radiator.
