I am trying to determine if the new 2018 Silverado Crew 1500 that we just bought for towing a horse trailer has: (1) A transmission fluid cooler that is an integral part of the radiator, AND (2) An auxiliary transmission cooler that is located in the top of the AC condenser. Based on the Build Report and the GM Order Guide, and the thread I found here from 2014 or 2015, I believe that the truck has both the items above. But the service manager just emailed me back and said that the truck does not have (1) but does have (2). Build Report reads: "KNP - Transmission Oil Cooler" http://gmauthority.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/2018-Chevrolet-Silverado-1500-SSV-Order-Guide.pdf The info below is cut and pasted from the above GM document. "KC4 Cooling, external engine oil cooler S S" "KNP Cooling, auxiliary external transmission oil cooler S S" "L83 Engine, 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 with Active Fuel Management, Direct Injection and Variable Valve Timing, includes aluminum block construction (355 hp [265 kW] @ 5600 rpm, 383 lb-ft of torque [518 Nm] @ 4100 rpm; more than 300 lb-ft of torque from 2000 to 5600 rpm)" Your help sorting this out would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, BillNC
