| G500 Transmission cooler hose end size. - in bumper
I'm in the process of relocating the transmission cooler on a G500 that is in the bumper but the relocation brackets are on order but delayed.
I'm trying to go on a trip and the cooler is basically dangling I have 2 option.
1
Zip tie it up, unsure how well zip ties will do with the temp and vibration is always an issue and potential damage.
2
Seeing as max outside temp should be about 80 worse case, no towing, maybe some wheeling I was thinking of just removing the cooler for my weekend trip. But unsure of the hose end sizes, would be easier to have the size to get a union to bridge the gap.
Anyone know the input and output size of the cooler?
Thoughts ideas?
If Im reading EPC correct it should be these parts.
A4635001400 Radiator
A4632701496 passenger side hose
A4632701496 Drivers side hose
2004 G500

Personally, if it were me, I'd cushion it with some rigid closed cell foam and use some HD zip ties to secure it; rather than opening up the transmission lines more times than is absolutely necessary. |

Can't you simply put it back where it was for the time being.
I must be missing some understanding about relocating the cooler?
Enjoy your trip!

In the end I just used some wood and soft shipping padding and zip ties to contain it in 1 spot didn't have any issues on the trip.
Parts arrived should be installing the cooler in its new home this week.

I removed the factory bumper which normally houses or holds the transmission cooler, my aftermarket bumper isn't' setup to hold the cooler. On the G55 this cooler is normally under the G more and actually on top of the skid pan, this is the mounting bracket I was waiting for in the mail. |
