Hi everyone. Ive found lots of good information on this forum for years and only just signed up.
this could be a dumb question but im having trouble finding clear information on the topic.
I'll try and keep the story short.
I just installed a bigger trans cooler on my truck. its a 09 gm with the 4l60e.
I mounted the cooler with the fittings pointed down same as the stock cooler i removed.
for the first start up i left the return line of the cooler unhooked. I had a helper start the truck. It took about 6 seconds before fluid came out of the return line.
apparently i can mount this cooler with the fittings pointed down.
my only concern is when i shut the enging off im pretty sure the fluid from the cooler would drain back into the trans.
will this be a lack of trasmission lubrication every time i start the truck?
thanks for any opinions on this.
