• Includes complete mounting kit, OEM spec hose with stainless steel clamps and Insta-dapt radiator adapter
• Recommended for full-size cars, trucks and SUVs

Specs:

• Inlets: 11/32" hose barb
• Overall dimensions: 11" wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep
• Distance between inlets: 10-1/4"
• Mounting dimensions: 8" tall by either 5-1/4" or 6-3/4" wide

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.

• Is an Aftermarket Transmission Cooler Recommended for a 2009 Honda Ridgeline with Tow Package
  
• Vehicles come with some type of transmission cooler from the factory. The tow package on your 2009 Honda Ridgeline may include an upgraded version of the factory transmission cooler.

• Installation Time and Difficulty of Installing a Transmission Cooler on a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  
• Depending on the vehicle, and where the transmission cooler, # D13503, is going to be installed, it could take around an hour or longer. There really is not set amount of time because every vehicle is different and different size engines have more or less space and use different fittings. For a 2003 Jeep Cherokee with a 4.7 liter, use Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings, # D13018. For a 4.0 liter, use kit # D13028 for 3/8 inch x 3/8 inch hose splicers, or kit # HH41412 for 5/8 inch-18 S.A.E. 45

• Where Should a Transmission Cooler be Mounted on a 2002 Acura MDX
  
• There are actually 3 possible places you could mount the transmission cooler, # D13503. The first location is in front of the A/C condenser core and is the most efficient place. The second most efficient location is between the core and the radiator. You would place the cooler against the radiator. The cooler comes with little pads that go between the two components but they do not separate them very much. Despite this, the area of the radiator that will be blocked is small enough that it wi

Although your dry weight is 1600lbs less than the vehicle towing capacity, once you add gear and fill water or propane tanks, you will be climbing closer to that 6500lb figure. The cooler measures 11 inches x 8 inches, and is 7/8 of an inch thick. You will want to take a look in front of your radiator directly behin

• Do I Need Bigger Trany Cooler for Towing My 2010 Jeep Liberty on a Trailer
  
• As far as transmission coolers go, you cannot cool transmission fluid too much, so installing the largest cooler that space will allow is perfectly fine and will benefit your transmission the most. The trailer and Jeep you will be towing will probably add up to about 7,000 lbs so I would recommend the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, item # D13614.

• Can the factory Transmission Cooler be Bypassed on a 1996 Ford Taurus with 3.8 Liter Engine
  
• If you are sure that the problem is a leak in the radiator and not indicative of a larger, potentially worse problem, it is possible to use a transmission cooler to bypass the factory cooler, though it is not the recommended method. 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
