Re: Derale Tranny Cooler

Can anyone offer suggestions on how to route the hoses on the tranny cooler install? Things look pretty tight on the pass side with the only access that exists stock with what looks like lines to the freon reservoir?
Any help, suggestions would be appreciated!!!

Cheers

GM shop time for a front brake job?

Anyone know what the quoted GM shop manual quotes for a front disc brake replacement? I have picked up some ATE PowerDisc slotted discs and a set of ATE ceramic pads. Just curious what is reasonable for a shop to quote labour hours to do the job? I'm a DIY kind of person, but not sure I want to tack...
