I decided to use the rubber line that came with the Tru-Cool, order an extra piece when you order the cooler, part #LNG-723. I used the fittings that came with the cooler that allows you to use the rubber line. I cut the aluminum crimp that is used to retain the OEM rubber line onto metal fitting coming out of the radiator, to the OEM cooler. The metal fitting coming out of the radiator, clamp the new rubber line and run the line to the fitting on the Tru-Cool and clamp. Then cut the aluminum crimp off the metal line going back to the transmission, remove the OEM rubber line, attach and clamp the new rubber line and run it to the other fitting on the Tru-Cool and clamp. I them put cable sheathing on the rubber lines to prevent abrasion.
I don't trust compression fittings and the OEM lines didn't really fit nicely using the suggested method in the GM forum post.
I used a rotary tool with a cutting disk to cut the aluminum crimps.
Bought the Tru-Cool and extra rubber line from Oregon Performance Transmission.
Good luck.
