2004 Express Tow Package Components? / Tranny Cooler Mounting
Hello All This is my first post here.. Was having trouble finding a Van specific forum.. I hope to be a regular now that I''ve found this place...
I just got a 2004 G3500 to tow my trailer with. It doesn''t have the ''factory tow package''. Based on what I have been able to dig up.
That only consists of:
* the factory wiring harness for the lights
* and brake controller wires for brakes/charge to the rear ?
* Hitch
* Auxiliary transmission cooler
I have ordered a class 4/5 hitch, and some 14ga wiring for the control lines. I''ll be reusing my prodogy so wiring that is np. Leaving me with the tranny cooler.....
I pull ~7k and realize I need the extra cooler. I was able to get the grill off with minimal damage, opps..... only 1 broken clip and 1 plastic tab broke :( I''ll try to snap some pics when I actually do the cooler install to help others.. But anyway my questions is where do they mount the factory cooler (pics would be great) and how/what do they attach it. The front end grill support area is mostly plastic and I don''t want to damage anything, so reusing a factory bracket would be easy, even if i had to order one... There definitly is plenty of room to mount it.. (note: I have a good size stacked plate unit with fan and my first choice is to not just hang it on the condensor with those plastic things.)
Also how are the hoses routed ? I can see a few options but knowing how the factory did it would confirm things.
Thanks
-mike
