Question:
I have a 2011 ford f150 6.2, and was looking for a transmission cooler since the fluid temp is around 200F. Thanks

Expert Reply:
A fluid temperature of 200 degrees is at the top of the optimum range of 160 to 200 degrees. But since transmission fluid cannot be over cooled, adding one to your 2011 Ford F-150 will help extend the life of the transmission.
Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific so you can use any one that fits in the available space on your truck. The most popular cooler is # D13503. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation of this cooler for you. You can also use # D13504 that you have referenced which is larger. The largest cooler that will fit in the available space is the best bet. I have also linked some FAQ articles on coolers.
