by: Derale 8000 Trans cooler is great08/12/2016
I have a 99 Ford F250 4WD 7.3 diesel with 191,000 miles. I am on my 4th transmission. I pull a horse trailer once a year to Colorado or Wyoming from E Texas on an elk hunt. Other than that, maybe a camper or horse trailer hauled to my deer lease 100 miles away. I finally added a temp gauge to the last one. Now I was seeing that my tranny was running around 205 just pulling my trailers up a small grade around my county. Outside temp around 90. I replaced the original Ford cooler with one from Ford. Same results. I did research on my own and stumbled on to Etrailer.com and articles of the Derale 8000. I had this put on by my radiator man. He wanted to mount it above the Ford cooler to get max airflow. He had to fabricate some brackets and use some other hose connectors as the ones furnished didn't fit right. Not a problem for me as this thing has finally solved my problems. I ran the same route with my horses loaded in the trailer(est 6000# total wt). The temp gauge registered 170 to 175. That is a drop of 30 to 35 degrees. I now feel confident when I go to Colorado in a few weeks that I won't be broke down on side of road with overheated tranny and buying another tranny when I return. Etrailer shipped product very fast. I am overly happy regardless of it not just fitting perfect.

I installed the Derale D13503 in series with my existing factory installed auxillary cooler for added protection on my Ford Explorer Sport Trac. With the Sport Trac tranny having the reputation for overheating failure, I took the cooling up a notch! I tow a 7X14 enclosed v-nosed trailer, and now I am protected! It was a very easy install, and the included hardware made it pain-free :-)

Thanks

Does not work on 99 F250 7.3L. The flare sides of the fittings are to long and deep to use with the existing cooler and fittings.

view full answer... - How to Add Transmission Fluid After Installing Transmission Cooler on a 2003 Ford ExplorerI wasn't sure why your transmission fluid can only be filled by a dealer. Your 2003 Ford Explorer uses one of two possible automatic transmissions used on Ford Explorers from 1997 to 2010 and a lot of other vehicles within that same time frame. So I checked the owners manual and found out that it doesn't have a dip stick to check the fluid so you would not be able to add any. Basically what you would have to do is have a Ford technician perform the transmission cooler installation. Whether...

According to the owners manual, if you have the towing package with 3.73 LS rear axle ratio, you can tow up to 5,760 pounds. With 3.55 rear axle ratio the max is 3,240 pounds. If your model has the higher rear axle ratio and came with a tow package, you can tow up to 5,760 pounds. A transmission cooler is recommended....

view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendations for a 2002 F-350 with the 7.3L DieselTransmission fluid should run below 200 degrees Fahrenheit. At 240 degrees you definitely need to make some sort of change to reduce the temperature. I would first recommend having the transmission checked by a qualified automotive technician to be sure it is performing properly. This will assure you that no damage has been caused to the transmission and you will not be stranded. Installing a transmission cooler will not reverse any damage that may have already been caused. If you find...

You are correct, it is recommended that you install a transmission cooler in the return line of the factory transmission cooler. I would recommend the Derale Cooler, part # D13105, as the transmission cooler for your F-250. You will need a Derale Radiator Adapter Fitting for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury,...

By that I mean you would want to run the transmission coolant line from the transmission, to the factory cooler, then to the # 23785, and finally back to the transmission cooler. Routing...

To avoid having to cut and flare lines I also recommend adding fitting # D13025. You can use this supplement cooler with the factory cooler already on your truck. The flow of the transmission cooler will go first to the factory cooler, from there to the supplemental cooler, and then back to the transmission.
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2013 Ford F-150 with 5.0 LiterWith transmission coolers you basically want to go with the largest one you can fit in front of the radiator. A very popular option is the part # D13504 which measures 11" Wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep and would be a great choice. To make the install as easy as possible you would want the part # D13025 which allows the cooler to install without having to cut or flare any lines. The cooler does not attach directly to brackets of your radiator, but with it's push pins it installs very easily.

view full answer... - Is it Better to Replace Existing Transmission Cooler or Add Derale Auxiliary Cooler 2003 Ford F-250Using a supplemental cooler in place of your factory cooler in your 2003 Ford F-250 is a huge benefit, however, ideally you will want to run both your factory and also a supplemental cooler for optimum performance. Supplemental transmission coolers also work better than coolers that are integrated into your radiator system. My research shows that the transmission cooler in your truck is located below the radiator which typically gets a lot hotter and does not cool as well as a supplemental...

- Transmission Cooler Recommendation For 2011 Ford EscapeI spoke with Ford and they told me that there would be no problem adding a transmission cooler to your 2011 Ford Escape. You will want to check your owner's manual on recreational towing for any restrictions. The Tech told me the only restrictions might be the space that a cooler needs, but that is always the case when considering a transmission cooler on a vehicle. For your Escape, I recommend the Derale Transmission Cooler, part # D13502. This measures 11 inches Wide x 7-1/4 inches tall...

The adapter that you need will depend on the size of the transmission line on your Expedition.

view full answer... - Supplemental Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2001 Ford F-150Factory coolers are often times adequate at best for non-towing applications. For a cheap insurance policy I would add an additional one to your 2001 Ford F-150 since you basically can't over cool a transmission. The cooler you can keep the fluid the longer the transmission will last. A very popular option that would work well for you would be the Derale part # D13614 that you referenced.

- Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2011 Ford EscapeI found the expert answer you referenced where Jeff said to check the owners manual for restrictions on towing.

There would be no restrictions on installing a transmission cooler aside from the available space on your vehicle.
