Keep Your Transmission Happy When The Load Gets Heavy

If you have ever felt your truck start to shift differently after towing or long highway pulls, heat is usually the culprit. The PPE Bar and Plate Transmission Cooler is built to solve that problem by giving your transmission the cooling capacity it should have had from the factory. With a massive increase in core size and airflow exposure, this cooler helps keep fluid temperatures under control when the truck is working hard. Additionally, lower temperatures help protect clutch packs and fluid quality, which directly supports smoother shifts and longer transmission life. This upgrade is especially valuable for drivers who tow, haul, or push their truck in hot climates. It bolts in using factory mounting locations, so you get serious protection without turning the install into a weekend project.

Heavy Duty Cooling Built Around Proven Bar And Plate Design

This transmission cooler features a 248 cubic inch bar and plate core that delivers more than three times the cooling volume of the stock unit. The 73 percent larger frontal area increases airflow exposure, allowing heat to be pulled out of the fluid more efficiently during sustained driving or heavy load conditions. Furthermore, the all aluminum construction and fully TIG welded end tanks provide excellent pressure resistance and long term durability. Dense louvered external fins are used to maximize heat transfer to ambient air, helping achieve temperature drops of up to 45 degrees. The bar and plate design offers greater cooling mass and flow capacity compared to the factory stacked plate cooler. Designed for 2019-2025 GM 1500 Silverado and Sierra trucks with 3.0L, 5.3L, or 6.2L engines, this cooler is a smart investment in transmission reliability.

 Fitment: 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 GM 1500 Silverado/Sierra 3.0L/5.3L/6.2L
