hey guys,

as i was fixxing something with my hids yesterday, i've noticed a small rad under my hood clip
i was wondering if it's a transmission rad or a a/c rad??? anyone would know?

it's a 2004 silverado 4.8L v8

thanks

Power steering fluid cooler. About the size of a carton of smokes and in front of the radiator?

Typically the transmission cooler is incorporated as part of the radiator.

yea its about 12" long and 2-3" high,

and another question why is there 2 big rads one behind the other?

the up front one is the air conditioning condenser, the other is the radiator back closer to the engine.

i have 2 big ones and a small one.sooo....

The first thing you will see is the Power steering cooler on the driver side. This is small as detailed above, only a few inches wide, but the same height as the radiator. If you have an AUX transmission cooler, this will be on the passenger side in front of everything, the size is probably about a foot in both directions....I don't know the actual dimensions. Now, the large heat exchanger you see first is the AC condensor, this is the same size (roughly) as the radiator, only it should be skinner. Behind that is the Radiator.

No oil cooler unless it's aftermarket, the oil coolers are built into the radiator. The small radiator on the front of the big radiator is the tranny cooler.

i guest ill have to take a pic
lol

I have a 2006, one year after your 2005. I'll take a look at mine and see if I have one as well. I'm pretty sure my tranny cooler is built into the radiator. A/C stuff is closer to the back of the engine on the passenger side..

i have an 2004
