Tom, I've been planning to install your radiator this winter, so this is a big opportunity for me. What is the correct part number for a '07 C6 Z51 (w/EOC)? It was expressed on this forum that perhaps you had the part numbers reversed on your website for the Z51 vs. non-Z51. Thanks!

It is my understanding that 05 & 06 Z51's have the (EOC) engine oil cooler inside the radiator (internal) but the 2007 didn't have the oil cooler at all. If any disagrees with that I'd like to know?

If that's true, then use A05A for the automatic or A05M with 6spd.
You could also upgrade the radiator with the eoc and add the hose package if you like.

Tom, if the '07 Z51 does not have the EOC or a TOC, what was GM thinking? I would think that having an EOC and TOC would be very important.

You could also upgrade the radiator with the eoc and add the hose package if you like.
Is the "upgrade" you're referring to the A05E radiator? What hose kit is required for this upgrade.

I'm just curious here, is there any way to fit a TOC to a '07 Z51?

Does the Z06 use a separate EOC? Can a separate EOC be installed on the '07 Z51?

Thanks!

a. Yes, unless you have an automatic, then A05AE
b. See the link below
C. A toc is (Transmission oil Cooler) for an automatic
D. Yes
E. Yes, the z06 does that.

Two questions:

(1) Would it be easier (less costly) to install a (separate) C6 Z06 oil cooler than to install the '05-'06 Z51 EOC line?

(2) Your A5AE is the only radiator listed for the C6 Z51, and your description is

This is a true Direct Fit for 2005 & 2006 Z51 option cars.
Doesn't this imply that all '05-'06 Z51's have an EOC and a TOC?

I have no idea what the cost of the external cooler and hose package would be. You need to tell me what transmission you have. 6spd or A6 auto?

Tom, 6-speed manual. Would this be a better option for the A05E radiator than the difficult to install GM hose package: "install the #10AN fittings (included) and use SS hose assemblies [from your website]?"

If it was me, I would do everything I could to use the stock GM asssembly because it has a built in bypass which is a very nice items to have. Some people have said the install was simple and others have complained.

Tom, does the GM oil line assembly require any additional parts to mate with your A05AE that I ordered yesterday? Are the A6 lines also compatible, as shipped?

Thanks for the CFGP and any information.

If you have a 05-06 Z51, you're all set. If you have anything else, you would need to purchase the two quick connect fittings for the eoc connection at the radiator. I don't know what the fitting part number is but if anyone wants one of the GM hose assemblies I still have a couple. The A6 lines are the same as the stock radiator.

Yeah, pretty much. The controversy of Aluminum vs Copper will probably go on forever but the higher weigh, cost of copper, and higher design capabilities of aluminum are driving the copper rads to the graveyard. That reminds me of a graphic I made a long time ago and never got to use. This seem like a good time.
