I have a stacked plate transmission cooler with 3/8 in and out. It is brand new. I am bypassing the radiator oil cooler as part of my engine rebuild. The cooler is about 10 inches square. Will this cooler work as my oil cooler? I am thinking perhaps the in and out is too small.
Thoughts???

Dan,
It was noted at the Patterson Convention during Ken Burton's presentation
about grounding the GMC that the radiator gets grounded to the engine /
transmission through the trans cooler lines. If you have a remote trans
cooler your radiator may not be grounded to the engine.

Rick, good idea to bypass the radiator cooler unless you know it is very
clean. On our second engine rebuild, in 12 months, we did same with the
aluminum radiator cooler. Jim K. gave me a cooler to use. It is a 10x6 inch.
It uses the same size fittings as the oil cooler in the radiator so I am
thinking they are larger than 3/8. I have an external trans cooler and it
uses 5/16 hose. Seems like the engine oil cooler is a B&M.

Good tip on the trans lines. I am wondering if the new stacked plate trans cooler that I have can be used as the engine oil cooler even though the inlet and outlet sizes are smaller than the lines that went from the filter adapter to the old cooler in the radiator.

Suggest you try the #70264.
Please confirm the size of the opening.
The grounding of the radiator is very important too.
have a grounding strap that was being marketed few years ago, but now
discontinued, on my Aluminum radiator.
That seminar was really an eye opener. I thought my Ornamental eyes
got rounded out ,but lasted only for that hour.

Why is it important that the radiator be grounded?

Dissimilar metals joined by fluids that allow an exchange of ions
(corrosion). Grounding helps defeat that. Similar to anode/cathode
technology on boat hulls and sea water. Eats em up without it.

Sully,
It always makes it easier to remember and makes better sense when
there are some expanation to the sugggestions.
Jim H has been around boats and know first hand how grounding is vital
for long term operation.

Sully,
DO NOT GROUND THE RADIATOR! It must be the same electrical potential as the engine or isolated completely from any part of the coach.. The radiator is mounted on rubber mounts on top and bottom. If it is grounded any where but the engine, stray current can cause pin holes in the radiator. The transmission lines will assure the same electrical potential as the engine. Griffin Radiators will void their warranty if the radiator is grounded.
If there is any electrical component that has a poor ground, and we all have them, the current will find a ground somewhere. If it finds the radiator then it will start corrosion. If you doubt this look at the back of your radiator. If you see green streaks or green patches it is a sign of pin holes in the tubes that are leaking a small amount and it will get worse. The green comes from the copper component in the brass tubes. If you see the green, the radiator is on borrowed time.

If you sat in my seminar at the Eastern states rally a few years ago or the GMCMI rally in Patterson this spring you would have received a handout on this topic. In the handout is a way to check for stray currents/voltages in the coolant causing the problem. The updated handout is supposed to be available on both the Eastern States sight and The GMCMI members only site. If you can not find it (I haven't check to see if they are really there), send me an OFF-NET email and I'll attach a copy of the file to my response email.
DO NOT GROUND THE RADIATOR except through the transmission or oil cooler lines directly to the engine. If you do, electrolysis will eat it up over time. Even the Griffin radiator which is very heavy duty radiator will get eaten up over time.

Robert I have a great schweinebraten recipe if you are interested 
Cooks well in the gmc oven if you still have it
I am alsö looking to replace my old leaking radiator with the new AL rad. I was told by my local shop that it needs to be grounded. I have an extra tranny cooler but still have one of the original steel lines so that should be sufficient to ground the new rad? Or should I start with all new steel lines?

Sully,
It always makes it easier to remember and makes better sense when
there are some expanation to the sugggestions.
Jim H has been around boats and know first hand how grounding is vital
for long term operation.

Did you say: Schweinebraten? As an old German, I am always looking for a good recipe for a braten. I am cooking mine according to an old recipe from a cook book, but looking for a new way. Please send it to me via PM.
Thanks,

Shan,
I am more of a Sauerbraten fan! ;-) The chef wanted (and got) a new fangled
microwave - convection oven - grill but I'll bet she could still cook it in
the convection oven if the spirit moved her do to so.
As Gene Dotson / Jim Buchanan have note here MANY times the aluminum (or any
radiator) radiator MUST be grounded to the engine/transmission.
Retaining one of the OEM lines intact will suffice.
Having said that IIRC someone makes stainless steel trans cooler lines that
are 3/8" OD instead of the 5/16" OD OEM which in theory would allow greater
flow.
BTW I have an aluminum radiator in Double Trouble and a remote oil cooler
mounted just below the A/C condenser. Double Trouble has a 455, 3.21 final
drive, and I do not tow and have found that even on he hottest day the trans
oil pan temp does not go above 195 degrees and normally runs at around 175.
Regards,
Rob M.

Robert I have a great schweinebraten recipe if you are interested :)
Cooks well in the gmc oven if you still have it :)
I am alsö looking to replace my old leaking radiator with the new AL rad. I
was told by my local shop that it needs to be grounded. I have an extra
tranny cooler but still have one of the original steel lines so that should
be sufficient to ground the new rad? Or should I start with all new steel
lines?
