Updated 05/25/2023 | Published 05/24/2023 >
Question:
Hello, I am thinking about adding an additional trans cooler to my 08 ram 1500 V8 hemi. I currently have the 15 row cooler. my temps get just over 200 towing up hills. Can you recommend what I should get and the OEM connecters? Also do you think there could be any pressure issues with an additional cooler? Thank you.

Expert Reply:
The Derale transmission cooler part # D13503 that you referenced would be a great choice for a transmission cooler for your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.7liter V8. It does not require any additional fittings or adapters either. You'd want to install this after you factory cooler for maximum cooling and it would not affect the pressure of your transmission either.
