Today on this 2006 Honda CR-V we are going to install a transmission cooler part number D13502 from Derale. The best place to mount the transmission cooler is going to be right in front, behind the grill, where it is going to be sitting in front of a condenser for the A/C unit and behind it is the actual radiator unit itself. If you do not have room for it there you can put it between the condenser and the radiator or even behind the radiator, it just depends on the type of vehicle you are working with. :27

Transmission Coolers Questions and Answers

  • Can Parts Be Added To a 2005 Chrysler Town and Country to Increase The Towing Capacity
  • In short, no; adding a transmission cooler and distributing trailer weight does not constitute a tow package. Transmission coolers do not add to the tow capacity of the vehicle. They can reduce wear and tear on transmissions used for towing by keeping heat levels down, but they do not make the transmission capable of pulling more weight. Tow packages often include things like a heavier suspension, integrated hitch, wiring, stronger transmission, stronger/braced frames, and the larger of the a

  • Comparison of Plate and Fin Style Transmission Coolers and Tube and Fin Style Transmission Coolers
  • The difference between the plate and fin style, # D13504, and the tube and fin style cooler, # D12904, is that the plate and fin models can cool better than the tube and fin models. You will notice that plate and fin coolers with the same rating as tube and fin coolers are smaller in size. Basically, the plate and fin cooler provides more surface area to extract heat from the transmission oil and also has internal turbulator technology to help the oil to cool faster and prevent pressure loss.

  • Troubleshooting Malfunctioning Integrated Brake Controller on a 2006 Ford Truck
  • The early integrated brake controllers, like on your 2006 model, were buggy and had a lot of problems. Most of our customers end up disconnecting them and installing a traditional brake controller. This will require a computer re-flash at your dealership. If not, the truck computer will still look for the factory brake controller and you will have a check engine light. It is not the 7-Way on your truck. If the 7-Way was the problem, you would not get voltage at the 5:00 pin when you manually act

  • Which Transmission Cooler would be Good for a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 used for Snow Plowing
  • With the kinds of load that a plow truck would be pushing, I would recommend using a transmission cooler on the large end, especially since it is a 1/2 ton truck. The Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Class V cooler you were looking at would be a good choice. They radiate plenty of heat due to their all aluminum construction. The cooler measures 11 inches wide, 11-3/8 inches tall and 1-1/4 thick. Locate an area in front of your engine radiator that you would like to mount the cooler and make sure

  • 2010 GMC Sierra 2500HD Transmission Cooler Recommendation
  • For your 2010 GMC pickup truck I would recommend that you get a Derale Transmission Cooler for the 2010 GMC Pickup, Sierra, part # D13105. The ideal transmission fluid temperature is from 160 to 200 degrees, 240 is way too hot and you should definitely upgrade your transmission cooler before you pull your trailer again. Otherwise, you may cause serious damage to your transmission. I recommended the # D13105 because it has a higher weight capacity than your trailer weighs and it should keep

  • 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 a opt

  • Can a Remote Transmission Cooler be Used in Place of a Factory Cooler on a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
  • Basically, an aftermarket transmission cooler is used as a supplemental system and not a primary unit. But, when a leak like what you are describing does happen, the options are to bypass the factory cooler and plug the radiator so it does not continue to leak, or replace the radiator. You could use the Derale Remote Cooler, # D13950, that you have selected. You would need to plug the transmission line inlet and outlet, so the OEM trans cooler could fill with fluid without leaking out. Draini

  • 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 Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch for the 2008 Taurus by Ford, item # 87108, 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

  • Can the Derale Remote Transmission Cooler be Mounted Horizontally on a 1997 Ford F-350
  • On a cooler that has its own fan, like # D13700, it does not matter which way you have the unit oriented. It will provided optimal airflow no matter how it is positioned. However, there are some things you will want to consider. It would probably be better if the airflow was blowing down in this case. The reason is that if it were blowing the other way the hot air could heat up the floor boards/bed instead of the hot air just blowing down and away from the vehicle. If you position the cooler

The one thing you want to be sure of, is that the cooler is mounted so that most air flows through it, usually in the same orientation as your radiator.

What you would need is the largest cooler that will fit in your engine compartment. You will want it as close to the airflow as possible. The out line from the transmission that is currently going to the factory cooler will instead need to go to the new cooler. T
