Chevrolet Silverado Transmission Cooler
The Chevrolet Silverado does have a transmission cooler. The transmission cooler is typically incorporated as part of the radiator. Additionally, there are options for upgrading the transmission cooler for improved performance and cooling. Some aftermarket transmission coolers are available for the Silverado, utilizing a stacked-plate design for maximum durability and powerful cooling.
For specific models and years, such as the 2014-2018 Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra 1500 V8, Mishimoto has developed a cooler to ensure that the transmission runs cool. This cooler utilizes a stacked-plate design for maximum durability and powerful cooling, and mounts in line with the factory cooling system to add extra fluid capacity.
If you are considering upgrading the transmission cooler, it’s important to ensure that the new cooler fits properly. For example, for a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado, the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit is recommended as a replacement for the auxiliary transmission cooler, and for a 2012 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 364 motor, the Derale Transmission Cooler # D13504 is suggested as a great option due to its high efficiency.
In summary, the Chevrolet Silverado does come with a transmission cooler, and there are options available for upgrading and improving the factory transmission cooler for better performance and cooling.
