GTM Differential Cooler Kit install, Anyone done this?

In fact, most of the time the differential will work better and rob less power from the drive train once the fluid is heated up to the operating temperatures.... I have NEVER seen a differential problem caused by over heating the fluid on these cars.

So to say a diff cooler is overkill would be a huge understatement. In most cases it would be counter productive as well as being just one other thing to have a problem with (leaky fittings, bad fan, bad relay, blown fuse, etc.) to be honest.

Hey Equinox, I can make and sell you a manual transmission cooler kit....... or maybe even a brake fluid recirculater (cooler) as long as you are in the market for things like this... LOL Just kidding buddy (you know I'm just giving you a hard time)





Well....... Ummm sorry about that. Maybe if I saw the parts I could write you up an instruction manual.

Good luck and if for some crazy reason you do decide to install this thing, I wish you luck with it.
