2004 Nissan Frontier - Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/ NPT Inlets - Class I -Extra Efficient

  • Plate-Fin Cooler
  • With 1/2 Inch NPT
  • Standard Mount
  • 11W x 3-7/8T x 1-1/4D Inch
  • Derale

11" Wide x 3-7/8" tall x 1-1/4" deep, radiator-style heat exchanger improves the performance and overall functioning of your Nissan Frontier's transmission. Includes hose-barb adapters to fit the 1/2" NPT inlets.


Features:

  • Prolongs life of transmission
  • Improves overall performance
  • Prevents heat-related failures
  • Has furnace-brazed aluminum construction and 1-1/4" wide turbulator plates for more efficient cooling
  • Includes complete mounting kit, OEM spec hose with stainless steel clamps, Insta-dapt radiator adapter and hose-barb fittings
  • Sleek design makes this ideal for use in compact cars


Specs:

  • Inlets: 1/2" NPT
  • Fittings: 1/2" NPT x 3/8" hose barb
  • Overall dimensions: 11" wide x 3-7/8" tall x 1-1/4" deep
  • Distance between inlets: 8-7/8"
  • Mounting dimensions: 6-3/4" wide x 3" tall
  • 1-Year warranty


Note: The Derale Insta-dapt radiator adapter fits most vehicles with 5/16" transmission lines, but not all. In some cases, additional fittings or alteration of the OEM lines or hoses may be required for installation.


One of the more popular cooling systems available, the radiator-style, plate-and-fin heat exchanger provides increased surface area so that fluids can spread out along the finned chambers to cool faster. In addition to the increased surface area, this cooler also features turbulator technology, whereby fluids are agitated continuously, not only to facilitate heat transfer, but also to prevent any undesirable drop in pressure.

This oil cooler has really helped improve the oil pressure in my GEN III Hemi by reducing the oil temperate approximately 20 degrees cooler than before we installed it. Excellent product by Derale and service by etrailer.com.



by:

The cooler was easy to install,the instruction were easy to follow. I did check the oil temp after pulling a 4000 ft grade pulling a camp trailer with an electronic temp probe and there was a 50 deg temp drop thru the cooler.

My original transmission cooler sprung a leak on my 1990 dodge pickup and a direct replacement couldn't be found. Etrailer had a cooler that would fit and do the job. Would highly recommend them to solve your problems and supply what's needed.

Hose could be a little longer for non professionals cutting too short.
I would recommend buying extra hose too install. Overall easy too install and works great

Fittings came contaminated with metal shavings from machining and wouldn't even fit in to the cooler really poor quality. If this is in the fittings who knows whats in the cooler. Complete waste of time do not buy

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendations for a 1998 Chevrolet Silverado 4X4 5.7L
    To determine what kind of transmission cooler you will need depends on how much weight you will be towing and where you will be towing. Also, you will want to check how much room you have in front of the radiator to be able to install the transmission cooler. If you will be towing a light load, less than 2000lbs, in flat driving conditions, your 1998 Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 5.7L will do fine with a class I rated cooler. If you will be towing more than a 2000lb load through some hills,...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation and Installation on a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 4.7L
    The plate-fin transmission coolers are more efficient than the tube-fin transmission coolers. Both types of coolers operate the same, but the plate-fin coolers uses smaller plates to allow more fluid to contact the aluminum surface inside the cooler. More surface contact results in greater heat dissipation. I have attached two FAQ articles on transmission coolers for you to check out. When choosing a transmission cooler, we always recommend installing the largest transmission cooler...

  • What is Required for Towing a Trailer w/ a 2004 Honda Pilot
    I looked up an online version of your 2004 Honda Pilot's owner's manual and it states that additional transmission and power steering coolers are required to tow. It also states that a trailer that weighs 1,000 pounds or more should have its own operating brakes. I've attached an article on coolers that you might like. The firs thing in choosing one is find a place to put it in your Pilot. The best place is always in front of the radiator so it will get as much air flow as possible....

  • Brake Controller and Transmission Cooler for a 2000 Ford Expedition
    Since you mentioned it does not have the factory tow package, but that you do have a 4-way, I am going with the assumption that the 4-way was an aftermarket addition. To use a brake controller, you will need to adapt your current 4-way into a 7-way using the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. The # ETBC7 kit will provide you with everything that you need to adapt the 4-way into a functioning 7-way to use a brake controller. The brake controller that I recommend...

  • Do I Need A Transmission Cooler When Towing A 2003 Saturn LW300 With A Motorhome
    Using a transmission cooler on your motorhome when towing a vehicle would definitely help limit the wear and tear on the transmission. The Derale Transmission Cooler, # D13611, is designed for compact cars so I would recommend the Derale Transmission Cooler, # D13504, which is designed for larger vehicles. You will want to make sure that you will have room in front of your a/c condenser or radiator to install the heat exchanger. If you are asking about installing the Derale Transmission...

  • Transmission Cooler for 2018 Ford F-150 with 5.0L V8 Engine and Sealed Transmission
    In regards to transmission coolers, the best option for your 2018 Ford F-150 with a 5.0L V8 (or any vehicle for that matter) is you want the largest cooler that you can get to fit because you cannot over-cool fluids. So you are going to want to measure at the installation location on your truck (see accompanying diagram) and select the largest cooler that fits. Your options are: - Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13504: 11" wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep - Derale Series...

  • Bypassing OEM Radiator on 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
    The Derale transmission coolers we sell are intended as a supplemental cooler that is meant to augment the factory transmission cooler portion of the radiator, not replace it entirely. If you are experiencing the common problem with the radiator leaking causing the engine coolant to contaminate the transmission fluid, your best bet really would be to have the original radiator replaced. I did a Google search using the keywords Nissan Radiator Problem and found that Nissan has extended...

  • Recommendation For Transmission Cooler on a 2007 Jeep Liberty 3.7L Engine
    On a transmission cooler there are three basic types of heat exchangers. The most efficient is the stacked plate. The next one is the plate and fin, which is very efficient. Then, the tube and fin which is moderately efficient. It will also matter where the heat exchanger is installed. The best spot for the greatest efficiency is between your vehicles grille and the AC condenser core on your 2007 Jeep Liberty. The next best spot is between the AC condenser and the radiator. This spot will...

  • Derale Transmission Cooler for 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche with 5.3L V8 Engine
    For your 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche with 5.3L V8 engine the most popular supplementary transmission cooler is the Derale part # D13503 which will install using Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting # D13035. This cooler is a Class III type, meaning it offers substantial supplementary cooling of your transmission fluid after it gets its first temperature reduction inside your radiator. This 11 x 8-3/4 x 7/8-inch cooler will take in the transmission fluid after the initial cooling and drop its...

  • Recommended Transmission and Power Steering Cooler for 2007 Honda Pilot
    I have not heard of that being done but it absolutely could work. What I would instead recommend is keeping your current transmission cooler and adding the Derale Electra-Cool Combo Engine and Transmission Cooler Assembly w/ Fan, -8 AN Inlets - 8 Pass # D15200 to use as an additional transmission cooler and a power steering cooler. This kit comes with the barb fittings to make the installation easy. You may also be interested in the Derale Single-Hose Transmission Cooler Installation...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 1996 Subaru SVX
    The transmission cooler I recommend for your 1996 Subaru SVX is the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit with Barb Inlets, Class III # D13503. This cooler will provide a large surface to help further cool the transmission fluid, with the cooler measuring 11 inches wide x 8-3/4 inches tall x 7/8 inches deep. The plate and fin style transmission cooler offers an increased surface area for cooling over the more traditional tube and fin style. Derale's # C13503 cooler a great...

  • Can a 2006 Buick Lucerne Tow an 800 Pound Trailer without a Transmission Cooler
    According to the owner's manual for the 2006 Buick Lucerne it has a gross trailer weight capacity of 1,000 pounds maximum. It does not say that a transmission cooler is required. However, a transmission cooler is always a good idea, especially when towing, to keep the fluid cooler so the transmission is less likely to get damaged or wear out any faster than normal. If you do decide to install a cooler the most popular option for models with the 4.6 liter V8 is # D13503. And we also recommend...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2003 Acura MDX
    The best way to pick out a fin style transmission cooler for your 2003 Acura MDX would be to measure the space in front of your radiator and use the largest transmission cooler you could fit there. A popular cooler with other owners of MDX's like your is the Derale Cooler part # D13503. The dimensions of this cooler are 11" Wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep.

  • 2014 Honda Accord V-6 Transmission Cooler Availability
    There will be a built in transmission filter on your 2014 Honda Accord. Changing the transmission fluid that often really wouldn't be necessary. If you can find external transmission lines on your 2014 Honda Accord you can install a transmission cooler. For a vehicle like yours that won't be towing anything ever most likely you wouldn't really need one. But they can't hurt. The part # D13611 is a pretty small cooler that would work as long as you find external lines on your transmission....

  • Can I Tow a Boat and Trailer that Weighs 1,255 lbs with a 2008 Ford Taurus
    I do not see any reason why you would not be able to tow a 1,255 pound boat and trailer with a 2008 Ford Taurus. You should check your vehicle owner manual and make sure that the gross trailer weight and the tongue weight of the boat, loaded and ready to tow, are within the vehicle limits. We have the Draw-Tite Max-Frame, # 75299, which has a 3,500 pound weight carrying capacity and would be plenty of hitch to tow the boat you mentioned, as long as the vehicle ratings are high enough.

  • Transmission Cooler for 2016 Honda Pilot
    It is pretty common for aftermarket products such as transmission coolers to deliver performance that is superior to that of OEM components. Transmission coolers vary in their efficiency/cooling power and are given Class Ratings to indicate their effectiveness. Small is okay but bigger is definitely better when it comes to coolers. For example, a small cooler like the Derale # D13611 (about 11 x 4-inches) carries a Class I rating while the much larger # D13503 (11 x 8-3/4-inches) is rated...

    The transmission temperature on your 2004 Toyota Camry should run through the computer and be accessible through the OBD-II port using the Edge Insight, # EP84130. The parameters that you could potentially monitor include: Battery Voltage Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Engine Oil Pressure (EOP) Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Miles Per Hour (MPH) Miles Per Gallon (MPG) Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) 1/4-mile and 0 - 60 times If...

  • Aftermarket Transmission Cooler Installation for Mitsubishi Vehicles
    It would not surprise me if Mitsubushi OEM transmissions had a function that stopped the flow of transmission fluid out of the transmission when the transmission is cold. I do not believe that this option would be installed outside of the transmission, because there would need to be a bypass hose and valves in the transmission output and return lines, causing a complicated installation at the factory. The Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, item # D13611, does not have...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendations for a 2011 Toyota Corolla
    Both the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13611 and the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit , # D13501, would be a great choice for your 2011 Toyota Corolla. The general rule is that transmission fluid cannot be cooled too much, so using the largest cooler that will fit is a good idea, especially if towing. The only reason not to add the largest cooler possible, would be if you live in very cold climates where temperatures are below 0 degrees often...

  • Towing R-Pod Trailer with 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk
    I'll start this off by saying that you should always consult your owner's manual when looking for exact specs in regards to your vehicle's capabilities and capacities, but from what I was able to determine from my research, the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Trailhawk trim has a towing capacity of 5000-lbs (based on it being a V6 3.6L engine).

This fits most vehicles with 5-16" transmission lines. Since it will not fit every line you may need additional fittings or you might need to alter the OEM lines or hoses to install it. Even though the Insta-dapt is most likely the only other fitting that you will need, you can find additional fittings that you might end up needing...

I would recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, part # D13502, for your vehicle as it is much thinner. Part # D13502 measures 11 Inches wide, 7-1/4 Inches Tall, and 7/8 Inches Deep. You will want to measure on your vehicle to make sure you have room to mount the cooler.

  • Recommended Transmission and Power Steering Coolers for 2019 Ford Explorer
    Yes, the general wisdom on supplementary fluid coolers for towing vehicles is that the transmission is top priority followed by the power steering system. The transmission cooler I recommend for your Explorer is the Derale Class III plate-fin cooler # D13503. This is because this cooler's 11 x 8-3/4-inch size allows it to very efficiently cool your transmission fluid a second time, after it is first cooled by the OEM cooler inside your radiator. The best install location is right in front...
