2018 Suburban LT 4x4 radiator fans and shroud 5.3

[OR VietVet]

Getting ready to do a complete radiator fans, left & right, and shroud replacement on my landlords 2018 Suburban LT 4x4 with a 5.3. It looks pretty straight forward. Unplug the fans, release all the attaching clips for hoses and lines and remove 2 of the 10mm attaching bolts at the shroud. I looked at a you tube video and see that the video poster detached the transmission cooling lines at driver's side of radiator. Looks like for the shroud clearance for removal and install. Is that necessary? I watched a couple more videos and they did not detach the lines. Thanks in advance.

Turns out the transmission cooling lines are on the passenger side and not the driver's side. The video poster was wrong.

Well, I give up. The GMT800 members love to help but you guys/girls are stingy with the help. I will figure it out. Thanks anyways.

I would guess that this post was overlooked, the lines on the passenger side of the k2's are the oil cooler lines, well technically the transmission cooler lines are there as well but are separate, the oil cooler lines may only need to be disconnected for extra room to remove the shroud.
the fan motors can be replaced versus a entire shroud.
I added a true cool to mine (on the front) but have not yet had to remove the shroud or radiator
There very well could be 2 styles of radiator for the k2's, on my 2018 the transmission cooler is separate and runs above the ac condenser, the lines are on the passenger and driver side but should not be in the way of the shroud.
