I decided I wanted to revise my original transmission cooler install as I didn't like the tight bends that some of the hoses were making plus some of the hoses were old and starting to crack. I also didn't like the fact that the cooler was on the driver side in front of the electric fan.
I used Parker 836-6 (the -6 means An-06) and Jegs Push-loc AN-06 fittings. The 836 hose only comes in blue, is compatible with transmission fluid, and is rated to 302*F and 400PSI. I cut the quick disconnects and factory hoses off the hard tube and had a hose shop flare the tube for the AN fittings. The push-loc is no joke. Its not exactly push. Its more like heat up hose in hot water, lube barb and push with all you got. Doing it with a cold hose is a really really really bad idea. Russell, Jegs, Parker and Aeroquip all have their own versions of the push style fittings. I know that Russell and Jegs are pretty much the same things and both take the parker hose. Aeroquip hose is a bit different from what I have seen of it, but may still work with the Parker hose. I needed to use the fuel injection style hose clamps as the standard clamps would cut the hose. The red collars are supposedly just cosmetic, but I feel that they to put some tension on the hose. I did keep the factory push on fitting at the radiator only because i didn't feel like buying a new radiator now. Maybe in the future that will change. The fluid flows as follows: Out transmission --> Filter --> Tru-Cool cooler --> stock cooler --> transmission. I will later install a temp gauge. The cooler is mounted to the front cross member and radiator header panel using steel flat stock. I did not want to use the nylon zip tie type mounts through the radiator. I used them once on fan and it caused a leak in the radiator after a few thousand miles. No leaks so far and I'll post here if there are any problems.
The only thing that I don't like is the factory quick disconnect on the radiator and the barbs on the cooler. I would have liked to use a cooler with an AN fitting, but the ones that came with the AN fitting were either too small (WxH) or too thick. I did also position the filter mount a not exactly where it should have been as I had to cut away part of the fan shroud to get the shroud to fit. Its not an problem though as fan blade is still a long away from the hitting the filter mount though.
Some info on the hose:

I used the following parts:
All fittings are -06AN
1x Jegs 45* hose end; 100061
3x Jegs straight hose end; 100051
1x Jegs 90* hose end; 100071
1x Aeroquip 90* flare union; FCM2190
2x Jegs AN flare union; 110202
2x Jegs 3/8" NPT to AN adapter; 110106
1x Derale 3/8" NPT left port filter mount; 25750
1x Mobile 1 M1-204 filter (same as engine is using the smaller filter)
1x Tru-Cool LPD 4544 9.5"x11x.75" 3/8" barb cooler
~7' Parker 836-6 hose
