Perhaps the simplest type of heat exchanger, the tube-fin effectively cools a variety of automotive systems. The concept is simple: Fluid cools as it travels through the core by transferring heat out to the fins. The fins then provide the surface area necessary for sufficient heat exchange to take place, allowing the heat pulled from the fluid to dissipate into the surrounding air. Quick, easy and effective.

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2005 Acura MDX Towing a 3,750 Pound Boat and Trailer
  
• The Class of transmission cooler you use will depend more on where you can mount it. The most efficient place is in front of the AC condenser. You could then use a Class I cooler, like # D12901. If mounted behind the condenser, I would go with a Class II like # D12906. If mounted behind the radiator I would go with a Class III like # D13502. The problem is that the further away from the front of the vehicle a cooler is mounted, the less airflow it receives. The less airflow a coolers receive

• Recommendation For Transmission Cooler On A 1995 Nissan Parthfinder 4X4
  
• 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. If you will be towing a light load, less than 2,000 pounds, in flat driving conditions, your 1995 Nissan Pathfinder 4x4 will do fine with a Class I rated cooler. If you will be towing more than a 2,000 pound load through some hills, I would use a Class II or Class III cooler. I would recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler, part # D

• Which Derale Radiator Adapter Fitting Kit for a 2000 Ford Taurus Wagon
  
• I spoke with my contact at Derale and the reason there are two different hose fitting recommendations is because there are two possible diameter hoses that are on the 2000 Ford Taurus Wagons. To determine the correct fitting you will need to know the threaded diameter of the transmission fluid line fitting in your vehicles radiator. If you need a 3/8 inch fitting you would need a Derale Radiator Adapter Fitting Kit, part # D13014. If you need a 1/2 inch fitting I would recommend a Derale R

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 1996 Nissan Pathfinder Towing a 1900 lb Trailer
  
• There really is not a down side to using a transmission cooler on a vehicle. It has been proven that transmission coolers will prolong the life of a transmission. Especially when the vehicle is towing a trailer. I would strongly recommend you install one since you will be pulling a 1,900 lb trailer with your 1995 Nissan Pathfinder. The power switch might enhance the shift points so that it will perform better while towing, but it will not prevent excess heat from building up in your transmission
