    I need to replace the cooler itself, from the looks of it, the cooler in the desert fox kit is this?

    B&M 70266 - B&M SuperCooler Oil Coolers - Overview - SummitRacing.com

    does anyone know for a fact? 3800performance is a pos and won't email me back

    It looks like it, but I don't think it is. 3800performance website lists the ability of that cooler to 28,000 GVW, while B&M rates that 70266 cooler as 20,500 GVW.

    I'd just go with the auxillary gm cooler as it fits and works great.

    I bought the entire cooler kit this summer from PFYC for $89.99 +10 shipping this summer.

    Paceperformance shows the kit on their site, but I've noticed their prices are getting quite high compared to their prices 4 years ago which were more inline with gmpartsdirect pricing.

    10275682 - W Body Auxillary Transmission Cooler - 10275682


    I would take those part #'s from paceperformance website and plug them into gmpartsdirect.com which should give you much better pricing. You can try emailing PFYC.com and see if they can get more wbody auxillary tranny cooler kits. I checked their site and their no longer listed.

    What happened to your desert fox cooler. Were the fittings at the cooler end leaking?
