I just had the dealer rebuild my transmission under warranty. They said the fact I had a cooler on it actually helped my case. Said the same thing about my 5.13 gears. Each dealer is different.

Here's my install of a B&M Supercooler:

Yeah. Too much hose/line. If you're gonna do it, hard line it with factory styly brackets bolting the line to the inside of the frame. Just like fuel line.

I am thinking it would be about the same amount as installing it up front. Going to cut the hard line at the tranny on the return line from the condenser cooler and run it from there and back.
