Today on our 2014 Honda Odyssey, we'll be installing the Derale Series 8000 Plate Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, part number D13502. Now to begIn our install, we'll first go ahead and open up the hood. We'll need to remove the top engine cover, those between the grill in the front core support. To do this, we'll remove the multiple push pin fasteners that secure the plastic cover and air intake. Well to remove the push pin fasteners, we'll go and pull Next, we'll then remove the 2 fasteners here, the top and secure the grill to the core support. Now with that done, we'll move to the wheel wells. To make it easier to remove the 2 screw fasteners inside the wheel well, we'll go ahead and turn the wheel inside while working on the driver's side and then inside while we're working on the passenger's side. Now with those fasteners out of the way, we'll move underneath the vehicle, we'll remove multiple fasteners that secure the front fascia and lower rock guard for both screw and push pin fasteners. Now with all the fasteners removed, we'll go ahead and pull the lower rock guard out and set it aside. It's a good idea "to get an extra set of" 00:01:20 hands as we'll remove the front fascia. To remove the front fascia, we'll pull out on the corner of the fascia where it needs to wheel well, releasing the fasteners underneath.
Once we do this to both sides, we can then go ahead and pull the fascia off the front of the vehicle and set aside for re-installation later. Next we'll remove the front bumper. There are total of 6 fasteners to secure it, 3 on each side. Once we removed these fasteners, we can go and set the bumper side for installation later. Next, to give us some working room, I'm going to remove the AC condenser mounting brackets here at the top of the core support. Once we remove the 2 fasteners, we can go ahead and remove the 2 bracket and we'll set them aside. Next, we'll remove the 2 hold down fasteners for the power steering line cooler. Once we remove them, we can go ahead and pull the power steering line down and out of the way. Next, before we attempt to install the cooler and lines, we'll need to cut out a section of the air guard here next to the AC condenser and radiator on the driver side .
We'll go ahead and mark it with a paint marker, then use a rotary tool to cut out the section so that we can run our cooler lines to the transmission. Now with that section cut out, we'll go ahead and start preparing to mount our transmission cooler. Before we mount the cooler, we'll go ahead and install the cooler hoses. Now to put the hose onto the cooler, we can use a little bit of the transmission fluid as lubricant, so we'll go ahead and put some onto the end of the transmission cooler barb fitting then we'll go ahead and slide the hose on. Once we have both hoses on, we'll then take the clamps. Slide on the open end of the hose and tighten them down, Now for this application, we're going to be adding some additional hose to make it all the way around to the transmission lines.
we'll be using part number D13003, 11 30 seconds hose and approximately 2 feet. Now with both hoses secures to the cooler, we'll go ahead and start mounting the cooler to the AC condenser. To mount the cooler, we'll be using the rod and clip fasteners provided with the install kit. The rod will go through the transmission cooler through a foam spacer pad and then through the AC condenser where we'll secure it with a clip on the back side. Let's go ahead and install the lower 2 first. Once we have the rods installed into the cooler, we'll go ahead and install the foam pads. Now we can go ahead and put the cooler against condenser and push the rods all the way through the condenser and secure them with the clip.
Now with the lower 2 fasteners securing the cooler, we'll go ahead and install the top 2 fasteners repeating the same process. Now with all 4 fasteners securing the cooler to the condenser, we'll go ahead and cut off the excess rod that came through the clip. Next, we're ready to go ahead and start routing the transmission cooler hose to the transmission lines. Next, we'll need to check and locate the return side on the manufacturer's line. This line here will be the return side that we'll connect to. Go ahead and take one of the transmission cooler lines and route it to this area, mark the length and cut of any excess, then we'll go ahead and remove the manufacturer's clip on the hose and pull the hose off of the steel line. Now we've got to cut the length, we'll go ahead and install the hose clamp onto the new hose and just tighten it down to keep it out of the way. Now with one side done, we're ready to go ahead and move to the second post connection point. First, the application will be at the top of the baffle, so we'll go ahead and first remove the squid clamp holding the hose in place. Now, to get a "look of the" 00:05:01 working room, we can go ahead and loosen the bracket here and rotate it out of the way. We'll remove the 2 fasteners that go into the bottom of the core support. The fastener, we do not want to completely remove it as it secures the sub-frame of the vehicle. We'll simply loosen it up enough that we can rotate the bracket out of the way. Now with our bracket out of the we'll, make it easier to get out hand up onto the manufacturer's hose and remove it from the line. With the manufacturer's hose now out of the way, we'll go ahead and route the new hose into position and cut the length and then we'll install the hose clamp onto the hose and slide the new hose onto the baffle. Once we have the hose in position, we'll go ahead and tighten down the hose clamp to secure it. Now with all the new transmission cooler hoses in place and installed, it's a good time to check for any leaks. We're ready to go ahead and reassemble our vehicle. We'll go ahead and reinstall the sub-frame bracket and tighten it down, then we can reinstall the power steering line and front bumper. We're ready for reassembly. Now with everything reinstalled and secured, we're ready to hit the road. And that does it for the install of our Derale Series 8000 Plate Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, part number D13502 in conjunction with the Derale High Temp Hose part nummer D13003 on our 2014 Honda Odyssey. .
One year and several tows so far and no leaks.
One star off for installation. Very difficult to slide it onto the inlets for my 2015 Honda Odyssey. I needed to lubricate the outside of the inlet with transmission fluid and heat up the hose with a blow dryer. I almost brought it into a transmission shop because it was so hard. If I were to do this again, I would use a heat gun to get the hose even hotter.
A must have when installing the Firestone Ride-Rite Helper Springs Kit.
Works perfectly - no issues after one year and 20,000+ miles.
Just as described, thanks!
Well made.. it took a while to install but I was probably just being particular about it. Dropped temperatures about 25-30 degrees across the range. 4 stars because AN fittings would’ve been great.
Great Continental brand quality, strong true for, means you have to use some elbow grease even after the trans fluid dip, I would rather have that than it being too loose.
Package arrived a day earlier than expected. Will be a week or two before installation. Products appear to be of great quality. Looking forward to installing the cooler.
Worked fine
Good product. Exactly as represented.
Good quality
Great quality products!
I had this installed in my 2008 Nissan Titan to prevent transmission from overheating and it works great! My Titan has the big tow package, max towing is 9,400 lbs and comes with a factory transmission cooler but it just wasn't enough to keep the gauge out of the hot zone when pulling heavy in a head wind. After installing this transmission cooler I pulled my 27ft 5000lb camper in 104 degree heat through hills with a nasty head wind and my transmission stayed well with in the normal operating temp on my transmission gauge. I would buy this product again and I do recomend this transmissiin cooler for additional protection from overheating.
Extra hose was needed for installation. This hose is good quality and has been in use on my 2017 GMC Sierra for a year without incident.
Installed this in my 2008 Avalanche, utilizing the following kit:
D13504 - This cooler
D13002 - Mounts
D13003 - Extra hose
D13035 - GM adapter
Everything went well, took the longest time just figuring how I wanted it mounted in the front to make me happy, second to the time spent was of course removing the front fascia of the car. Once I got it in place the only extra things I needed were some P-clips for hose mounting, some split loom and zip ties(my necessity to prevent chafing ever). The GM adapter went in fine, was a bit leery of how 'loose' it felt even after being clipped in, it does move in and out about a 1/4" but this is normal and no leaks present, just make sure the clip retains the adapter. Pushing the new hose on the old hard line that went to the radiator is a bit of a bear, use lube on all your hose barbed ends to ensure easy insertion. Also when mounting the cooler, some screws were attached to the bracing of the car, pre-drilling those holes with a small bit helps tremendously, rather than risk trying to drive a self tapper in with force, slipping and putting a hole in your condenser.
After install, transmission is running about 30-40 degrees cooler in normal city driving, will test to see how it does with a tow load. Under towing I would get up to just shy of 220 degrees in the Florida heat, hoping to see it stay below 190 under load.
Purchased a Tranny cooler from etrailer a year ago and it has worked out great. Parts shipped out quick. Everything was of the highest quality. Very easy to install with the bracket kit. I will be sure to use etrailer again.
The Derale transmission cooler worked great for me. I left the factory cooler and installed the new one in-line. Towed a 20 ft. box trailer (5500 lbs.) 1100 miles with my 2008 Avalanche in 85 to 90 degree weather and transmission temperature never exceeded 150 degrees.
Installation was a little tricky as I had to pull the front end off to get to where I wanted to install it.
Thanks a lot for the good product. I installed the cooler and its seems to be doing the job as it should be. But I am still having some cooling issues. My transmission is still running hotter than I like it to (160-190) Degrees. But also my water temp is running (195-220) Degrees. Which I think has a big effect on the transmission staying cool. I believe that if I didn't have the new Ext cooler in place the transmission would have run to hot. So it was trying to do the job. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTION TO HELP GET THE WATER TEMP DOWN? Do you stock 4 core radiators? As my pickup only has a 1 core.
Thanks a lot for a great product. And look forward to any suggestion.
Have a great day

Perfect
Costumer service is excellent. I ordered the wrong transmission cooler, contacted etrailer, they gladly took the order back and shipped me the the cooler i wanted and within the same one week period I had the parts I wanted in my hand... Thank You etrailer....
Shipping was fast, product is great. Really helpful videos on the website to help complete my transmission cooler install. I recommend etrailer to everyone I talk to about trailers.
Needed for a tranny cooler installation. The hose that came with the kit wasn't long enough.
Item ordered was just as expected and described. It arrived very quickly and with the help of Etrailer on-line videos-installing my new transmission cooler was very easy. It lowered my normal (non-towing) temps about 30-40 degrees.
This product was exactly as promised. I used it for installing a transmission cooler on my 2008 Avalanche and it worked fine and has been installed for almost a year now.
Necessary for unique transmission cooler installations. Solid material with the right amount of flex.
