with these fittings and transmission oil cooler on my 2000 Ford F350 superduty powerstroke diesel has lowered my temps by 15 degrees.
Thanks

I have a 99 Ford F250 4WD 7.3 diesel with 191,000 miles. I am on my 4th transmission. I pull a horse trailer once a year to Colorado or Wyoming from E Texas on an elk hunt. Other than that, maybe a camper or horse trailer hauled to my deer lease 100 miles away. I finally added a temp gauge to the last one. Now I was seeing that my tranny was running around 205 just pulling my trailers up a small grade around my county. Outside temp around 90. I replaced the original Ford cooler with one from Ford. Same results. I did research on my own and stumbled on to Etrailer.com and articles of the Derale 8000. I had this put on by my radiator man. He wanted to mount it above the Ford cooler to get max airflow. He had to fabricate some brackets and use some other hose connectors as the ones furnished didn't fit right. Not a problem for me as this thing has finally solved my problems. I ran the same route with my horses loaded in the trailer(est 6000# total wt). The temp gauge registered 170 to 175. That is a drop of 30 to 35 degrees. I now feel confident when I go to Colorado in a few weeks that I won't be broke down on side of road with overheated tranny and buying another tranny when I return. Etrailer shipped product very fast. I am overly happy regardless of it not just fitting perfect.

I installed the Derale D13503 in series with my existing factory installed auxillary cooler for added protection on my Ford Explorer Sport Trac. With the Sport Trac tranny having the reputation for overheating failure, I took the cooling up a notch! I tow a 7X14 enclosed v-nosed trailer, and now I am protected! It was a very easy install, and the included hardware made it pain-free :-)



by:

As a returning coustomer I can say all my dealings with atrailer have been great.
Great product, price, shipping and the very best coustomer service.
Product fit perfect and preformed as expected.
Will be back in the future when I need products etrailer sells
Thanks

Does not work on 99 F250 7.3L. The flare sides of the fittings are to long and deep to use with the existing cooler and fittings.

  • Transmission Cooler Options for 2006 Ford F-250 5.4L V8
    Supplemental transmission coolers like the Derale # D13504 and adapter kit # D13025 that fit your 2006 Ford F-250 V8 are installed on the transmission's return line. This will be the line that carries the transmission fluid from the primary cooler back to the transmission. The Derale cooler will take in this pre-cooled fluid and continue to cool it before routing it back to the transmission. If you start the cold truck, shift it into gear for about 15-seconds, and then shut it off you...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2009 Ford F-150
    Both the Derale Transmission Coolers # D13503 and # D13504 referenced in your question are great options for your 2009 Ford F-150. Between the two options, I recommend going with the Derale # D13504, as its slightly larger size will allow for a greater cooling capacity. The unit measures 11 inches wide, 12 inches tall, and 7/8 inches deep. As long as you have the required space behind the grille of your F-150, this cooler will work perfectly. If your F-150 has the 1/2"-20 thread on the...

  • Will Derale 8000 Transmission Cooler, # D13504, Fit A Ford F350 7.3L Diesel With Factory Cooler
    The best location for the Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13504, on your Ford F350 7.3L Diesel would be between your vehicle grille and the air conditioning condenser. This location will give you the most airflow and allow the maximum cooling ability of the heat exchanger. You will want to measure to make sure you have clearance to install the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger measures 11 inches wide x 12 inches tall x 7/8 inch deep. The Derale Series 8000 Transmission...

    If you are looking for the best transmission cooler available for your 2010 Ford F-150, I suggest the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets - Class IV # D13504. This 11" wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep, efficient heat exchanger will prolong the life of your transmission and improve its overall performance, though it is specifically designed for vehicles with late-model, electronic overdrive transmissions. The correct fitting will depend on which size fittings your...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommend For a 2002 Ford F-250 XLT Super Duty 6.8L V10
    When installing a transmission cooler, it is always a good idea to install the largest cooler that will fit in the space available on your truck. Transmission fluid cannot be over-cooled, however, if you live in a typically cold climate, it is a good idea to let your vehicle run for 10 minutes before taking off. For your 2002 Ford F-250 XLT Super Duty, going with the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Cooler, # D13504, that you referenced would my recommendation. It is recommended to install...

  • Can I tow a 30 ft Dutchmen Travel Trailer with a 2003 Ford Explorer
    To determine if you can tow your 30 ft Dutchmen travel trailer with your 2003 Ford Explorer, you will want to find the towing capacity of your Explorer and compare that to the loaded and ready to tow weight of your trailer. I did some research on your Explorer and found that the Explorer will have different maximum tow ratings depending on how it is equipped. For 2WD models, if you have the 4.0L SOHC engine without a tow package, then the maximum towing capacity of your Explorer is 3,500...

  • Transmission Cooler and Pan Recommendations for Towing with a 2001 Ford Expedition 5.4 Liter
    For your 2001 Ford Expedition with 5.4 L engine, I would recommend the largest cooler that will fit in front of the AC condenser at the front of the vehicle. The Derale Series 9000 Transmission Cooler Kit, item # D13614, would be a good choice. You will also need the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford, item # D13025, to complete the installation on your 5.4 Liter Expedition. A larger capacity transmission pan would be a good idea also. If your Expedition has a 4R100 transmission...

  • Transmission Oil Coolant Return Line Location and Transmission Cooler for a 2000 Ford F-250
    I spoke with a local Ford dealership and found out that the return line from your factory cooler is indeed the one that is run to the rear of the transmission on your 2000 Ford F-250. You are correct, it is recommended that you install a transmission cooler in the return line of the factory transmission cooler. I would recommend the Derale Cooler, part # D13105, as the transmission cooler for your F-250. You will need a Derale Radiator Adapter Fitting for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury,...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2001 Ford Excursion
    Generally speaking, you'll want to choose the largest cooler that will fit in the available space right behind the vehicle grille. For an Excursion, there won't be any problem with available space. The only caution about going with too large of a cooler is that it could lengthen the amount of time it takes for the vehicle to warm up in a cold climate. The Derale # D13504 would be an very good choice. It's 11 x 12 inch size would provide plenty of supplemental cooling to protect your transmission....

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler For Early 2009 Ford Flex With 3.5L Non-Eco Boost Engine

To install the # D13503 you will also need the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury # D13025. I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendations for a 2002 F-350 with the 7.3L Diesel
    Transmission fluid should run below 200 degrees Fahrenheit. At 240 degrees you definitely need to make some sort of change to reduce the temperature. I would first recommend having the transmission checked by a qualified automotive technician to be sure it is performing properly. This will assure you that no damage has been caused to the transmission and you will not be stranded. Installing a transmission cooler will not reverse any damage that may have already been caused. If you find...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation For 2011 Ford Escape
    I spoke with Ford and they told me that there would be no problem adding a transmission cooler to your 2011 Ford Escape. You will want to check your owner's manual on recreational towing for any restrictions. The Tech told me the only restrictions might be the space that a cooler needs, but that is always the case when considering a transmission cooler on a vehicle. For your Escape, I recommend the Derale Transmission Cooler, part # D13502. This measures 11 inches Wide x 7-1/4 inches tall...

  • Finding Transmission Return Line on 2001 Ford F250
    This is pretty easy. The line to the cooler will be warmer than the return line. To determine which is which, start the engine when it's cold. Put your foot on the brake, and shift into D for about 10-15 seconds, keeping your foot on the brake. Put the transmission back in part and shut off the truck. Feel the transmission lines or use an IR thermometer like # TM48FR. The cooler of the two lines is the return line, which is the one you want to tap the cooler into. You'll also need the #...

  • Radiator Adapter Recommendation for a Transmission Cooler Install on a 2003 Ford F150
    For the radiator side of the Derale Combination Transmission/Engine Oil Cooler Core # D13302 that will work as the transmission cooler you would want Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings # D13025. The sandwich adapter you purchase to go with the oil cooler side of the # D13302 should come with barbs to attach the rubber lines to.

    To properly install the Derale Transmission/Engine Oil Cooler # D13302 on your 2003 Ford F-150, you will need to purchase the hose separately. I recommend the Derale Single-Hose Transmission Cooler Installation Kit # D12006. I have provided a link to this product. Provided the Transmission/Engine Oil Cooler fits properly in your vehicle, you will also need the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings # D13025 and I have provided a link to that product as well.

  • DIY Installation of Transmission Cooler for 2006 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty
    Yes, the transmission cooler is a fairly easy-do- it-yourself installation.

    I show that the transmission used on your 2005 Ford F-150 5.4 liter engine is the 4R75E transmission. I have a transmission cooler that will work on your vehicle, but the Derale Transmission Pan Cooler, part # D14208, that you have referenced, will not fit your transmission. For a transmission cooler on your 2005 Ford F-150 5.4 liter engine I would recommend the Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler, part # D13503. This would be an excellent choice for your vehicle and will install in...

  • Recommendation For Transmission Cooling on 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty With 6.8 Engine
    I would recommend to add an aftermarket transmission cooler to your 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty to prevent any damage to your transmission. The ideal operating temperature range of your transmission fluid should be 160 to 200 degrees. Adding the cooler will not bypass the existing factory cooler which is located inside the radiator. Adding a cooler provides supplemental cooling to the your factory cooler. Transmission coolers are universal fit items. What you will need to do is find out...

  • Determining Towing Capacity of 2014 Ford F-150 and Upgrade Options to Improve Performance
    Subtracting the CGVW (Gross Combined Vehicle Weight) from the GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) is indeed the most accurate way to determine a particular vehicle's true towing capacity. Because there are so many potential variables as to what was actually added to the truck at the factory, this is the ideal method. With that being said I wasn't able to find any specifics on if or by how much not having the factory tow package would decrease the towing capacity of your F-150. It's also important...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2000 Ford F-350 with 7.3 Liter and Heavy Towing
    A large cooler like # D13105 that you have referenced would be a good choice. The larger the cooler and the more airflow it can get the more efficient it will be in cooling the transmission fluid. You may also need to add fitting # D13025 so you will not have to cut and flare lines. But I think you would benefit more from a remote cooler that has its own fan like # D13960. That way you will always get the optimum amount of cooling all the time. I have included a link to our FAQ article...
