6.O TRANNY COOLER QUESTION

Does anybody know where a right up on the install is.I know its pretty straight foward,just wanted to do some reading up on it before I did it this weekend.My buddy who gave it to me was going to do it but he got overwhelmed by "paying customers" so I told him I would do it to take some load off of him.He gave me some fittings that he made(he does this swap all the time)and told me it should only take 45 mins.He did attempt to do it but he said he was having issues with some crossmember bolts wanting to strip.He was using a 1/2 ratchet at the time because his air compressor crapped out.He stopped, fearing the bolts were going to break,sprayed them with pb blast and called and told me the deal.He said I maybe able to pull the bumper and go at them that way if I couldn't wait for him to get his compressor right.I'd rather do it myself so he can take care of the people that pay his bills.Don't get me wrong I'm not an idiot,just never messed with diesels before I got this truck and learning as I go.That's why I wanted to read up on the swap so I didn't get any surprises.I do know the fittings he made utilze the factory tranny hose,so I'm pretty sure its a bolt in swap.He didn't say anything about lengthing the lines(which I did read something about that..........
Any info or links are really appreciated!!!!

when you start working on it, take some pics, and do a write up.....
I done a swap on my OBS .... alittle different than the SD trucks. I cut the stock mounting brackets off and bought a trans cooler install kit...type of zip tie with a button head.... and attached it to the rad.
