I would like to install a trans cooler, but I want to tie into the wxisting cooler lines at the trans with AN lines. Does anyone have a source for these?

Thanks!

What are the stock fittings called?

Or you could just get a MikeL cooler which bolts right in place of old one and still uses stock lines and fitting's

I want to add a large cooler with fan under the cab. Hopping to get some of the heat out from infront of the radiator. If I do this I want to plumb it with hydrualic hoses, no slip connections.

Your stock cooler has a 1/2" female NPT thread. Just do what I did!
Buy a bigger stacked plate cooler with a 1/2" female NPT fitting on it.
I now have 48 plates for about $70.00, and it keeps my temps around 150 degrees. Just remember you can't use a fitting smaller than 1/2" e.g.(3/8").
You have to use a large passage low restriction cooler like a 1/2" or 3/4" for the Ally. I chose the 1/2" because it will bolt right up. "Don't forget the teflon tape for the threads"
The only modification I did, was to make mounting straps for the bigger cooler, everything else just bolted right-up!:)

You can make them. Find some old lines (or use you stock lines) cut the ends off real short and braze a steel AN fitting on the end. I did this for my fuel lines on my jeep.

The stock fittings are Jiffy Tite connectors.
