So, I've gotten the 6L80E pulled from my 2014 Yukon Denali
It has all the cooler options and tow options factory

I was expecting to do the Trans Thermostat Cooler Mod that everyone talks about
where you pull the Tstat from the trans cooler line block exiting the trans case and
flip it upside down to have the full flow of trans fluid to the cooler full time..
Well, I Don't Have That Thermostat Block !!
It's just the 2 lines bolt directly to the trans case.
So, does anyone know what's up with this ??????

Trans is out for upgrades right now, so I want to make sure I have the best cooling
possible

they didn't add the thermostat until after 2014 your trans doesn't have it, my 2012 doesn't have it my 2018 does.

The thermostat valves on the transmission only bypass the cooler until the fluid warms up. It does not impact flow to the cooler when its needed.
