ZL-1 Rear Diff Cooler Setup - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Doing the ZL-1 Rear Diff/Axle upgrade on a 2013 Camaro SS, M6. Does the SS manual have the necessary fittings on the transmission to support the ZL-1 Rear Diff cooler?

If so, is there a ready source for the cooler lines?

Thanks in advance!

I presume the T6060 on the SS is the same as the ZL1. AFAIK, there isn't a 'kit' for the cooler setup. I found an exploded diagram with all the parts, added the lines, fittings, hangers, etc. to my cart and it tallied over $450 from a discount parts place. So.... might be easier to find a ZL1 that someone is parting out.

Do you happen to have the list of parts and the discount website? I'd like to consider that as an option.

The ZL1 manual is TR6060 with the MG9 option

Thanks both... I am just trying to source the lines and fittings. I believe that the existing SS transmission has the appropriate ports to connect the lines to.

Hi 4510......did you get all your parts and did
it hook up OK? If so from where?

I am doing the same thing!

No I didn't proceed. My exhaust is VERY tight in that area and wasn't sure that I could run the lines.

This is what I installed
KEEP YOUR COOL
Z/28 REAR DIFFERENTIAL MODULE COOLER KIT
P/N 23216684 / MSRP: $750.00†

The Camaro Z/28 is equipped with an RDM cooling system that circulates cooled transmission fluid through a heat exchanger integrated into the RDM cover. This innovative system reduces oil temperature by more than 100°F, helping the differential maintain cool, stable performance throughout the most aggressive track driving sessions. The Z/28 system has greater heat-rejection capability than competitors’ air-cooled RDMs, helping to prevent differential component damage from high-temperature oil degradation. The integral heat exchanger design also eliminates the weight, noise, and complexity of a dedicated external pump and its associated hardware, seen in many aftermarket systems. This Z/28 based RDM cooling kit can be applied to any 2010 and later Camaro SS with a manual transmission.

Everything I see on that part number references a Camaro SS rear differential. In my case I installed the ZL1 Diff, Axles and Driveshaft. I don't think this cover will fit the ZL1 Diff.

Did you install this on a ZL1 diff???

dreksnot · 03-08-2017, 04:29 AM

Z/28 cooler will not fit on ZL1 diff

ticowarbird · 03-08-2017, 10:35 AM

I got my cooler lines from hawks but haven't installed them yet. Posted several times looking for the same thing you are. Will probably install it in May when I'm home for a couple weeks.

ZX1truth · 03-09-2017, 08:48 PM

A lot of the parts DrekSnot posted on his parts list are not available from GM any more!!! DANG!!! Might have to look for a stand alone auxiliary cooler for it now! Just found this Cusco system........it may work?!?!?!? https://www.rallysportdirect.com/par...ial-cooler-kit
