So far the trans cooler has been working well. I also used the adapters. Both products are doing well after 1500 miles or so and many hills, mountains, and trailering.

Great cooler upgrade for my 1997 GMC Yukon! Little delivery damage, but was so easy to bend those fins back to original shape so no worries!
Nice that you had proper dimension measurements online, so it was easy to figure out what kind I can fit in my truck. Complete kit had everything I needed to get it done!
Modified old cooler bracket little bit and that was it. Works great!

Have I gotten my refund for trans cooler fittings that weren't needed? 1994 k1500 trans cooler is working great.
by: Clinton05/18/2022
Very handy for unique installations fo transmission coolers
by: Tim Hansen08/29/2011
It looks like from reading the matierl if one is using the cooler in series with the factory cooler this adapter is not needed.
Thus I would like to return, but I fear the shipping cost will not make sense, dollar wise...
Thus the recommendation should state if you are adding a cooler to your system where one does not already exist, then you'll need this adapter.
So if your adding to an already existing system, you do not need the adapter.

- Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2011 Chevrolet Express Van 1500For your 2011 Chevrolet Express Van 1500, I recommend going with the Derale Transmission Cooler # D13503 along with the Radiator Adapter Fitting # D13018. The fitting will allow you to quickly and easily install the transmission cooler without having to cut or flare the lines. This transmission cooler measures 11 inches wide, 8-3/4 inches tall and 7/8 inches deep. This is a great plate-fin cooler that will prolong the life of your transmission and improve its overall performance. When...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler for a GM K3500 Pickup Truck with a 6.5 Liter DieselWe generally recommend going with the largest cooler that will fit in the space available in the engine compartment. The Most popular cooler for the K series with the 6.5 liter is # D13503 that you have referenced. It measures 11 inches wide, 8-3/4 inches tall, and 7/8 inches deep. You can get more cooling efficiency using a stacked plate cooler. I would go with # D13403. Even though it is smaller the stacked plate design is more efficient so it is rated higher than the plate fin coolers. You...

The issue you could run into is that the exhaust on the vehicle, or other components, could interfere with installation of the pan cooler. What I recommend is to go with the most efficient and largest standard transmission cooler available that will fit in front...
view full answer... - Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2007 Cadillac EscaladeWhen towing a trailer, especially when there are hills or mountains, you will be wise to add a transmission cooler. For your 2007 Cadillac Escalade, I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets # D13503. For this installation you will also want the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting for GM # D13035 if you have the snap in transmission line or the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for GM # D13018 if you have the threaded fittings on your Escalade....
view full answer... - Mounting The Derale Transmission Cooler # D13504 in 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3LThe item you selected, Derale Transmission Cooler # D13504, is a fit for your 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe but you would need to find a mounting location. With such a large cooler you may have to find a different location other then behind the front grille. Mounting the transmission cooler behind the grille, in front of the AC core is the most ideal and efficient cooling location to mount it,. The other locations would be between condenser and radiator, and between the radiator and engine. Since...

The first step for installing this Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, part # D13504, on your 1993 Chevy G-30 van with A/C is finding the best location for mounting the cooler. If you mount the cooler in front of the radiator, you will get the most cooling efficiency from the cooler, whereas it...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Silverado 2500 HDTransmission coolers are not vehicle specific so you can install any one that will fit including # D13504. For the 6.0 liter engine you may need fitting # D13035. If you have a hard metal line and do not want to use the fitting, you could cut the metal line, flare it, and use hose clamps. The transmission cooler comes with hose, clamps, and mounting hardware. It also includes an Insta-dapt radiator adapter. This adapter is if you have a rubber line, not a metal line, so you can use the...
view full answer... - Correct Transmission Line Fittings to Install Transmission Cooler on 2009 Chevy TraverseAccording to Derale, the correct fitting to install the D13504 cooler in your 2009 Traverse would be part # D13035, if the return transmission line is attached to the radiator using an E-clip. You would need two of them. If the connection does not use an E-clip, you would need to use a compression fitting. The correct fitting will depend on the outside diameter of your transmission lines. For a 5/16 inch line use part # D13031, for a 3/8 inch line use # D13032 and for 1/2 inch line use...

This is an excellent plate-fin cooler that will help to prolong the life of your transmission, providing more efficient cooling, especially when towing up those mountain passes. The cooler itself measures 11 inches wide, 8-3/4 inches tall, and 7/8 inch deep. I just recommend making sure that you have the needed space available between the Escalade's grille and AC...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 1998 Chevy 1500 Truck with 5.7 Liter EngineTransmission coolers are pretty universal in the vehicles they can fit. The part # D13504 would be an excellent choice for your 1998 Chevy Silverado 5.7 liter. I attached an install video that shows it being installed in a similar larger GM SUV. You would also want the fitting part # D13018 so that you don't have to cut any metal lines.

view full answer... - Recommended Transmission Fluid and Engine Oil Cooler for a 2013 Chevrolet Express Van 3500I have exactly what you will need to keep both the engine oil and transmission fluid cool in your 2013 Chevrolet Express Van 3500 but a remote cooler will not be necessary. Instead, I recommend using the Derale Combination Transmission and Engine Oil Cooler part # D15902. As long as you have at least 17" wide x 12-1/2" tall x 3/4" deep of space to mount the cooler behind your grille and in front of your radiator/condenser then it will work well for you. You can expect a drop in engine oil...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2009 Yukon XL SLT 5.3 Towing an 8000 lb CamperWhen it comes to transmission coolers, I recommend choosing the largest transmission cooler that will fit into the available space. The ideal place to install a transmission cooler is directly behind the grill, in front of the radiator and A/C condenser. I would recommend measuring the available space so you know what size cooler to look at. For your 2009 GMC Yukon XL SLT with the 5.3 liter engine, I would recommend using the Derale Transmission Cooler, # D13504. This is a class IV cooler...

This is a great cooler that will help get your transmission fluid down to a temperature that will help prevent premature failure. You will also need to use the fitting part # D13018 so that you don't have to do any cutting or flaring of metal lines.

If you have the V8 engine ( 4.8L, 5.3L, or 6.0L) you will use the Derale Radiator Adapter, part # D13035. I have posted a photo to show the typical transmission cooler installation.

- Recommended Transmission Cooler For 2007 Chevrolet 3500 Express VanThe transmission cooler I recommend for your 2007 Chevrolet Express is the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler, part # D13503. This is a Class lll cooler and will work great with your Express. You will also need the radiator adapter fittings, part # D13018.

I have attached a drawing of the best mounting locations...

view full answer... - Can the Auxiliary Transmission Cooler be Bypassed on a 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 Z71Yes, you can bypass the auxiliary transmission cooler on your 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 Z71 but you will need an adapter to do so, the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for GM part # D13018 which goes straight on the radiator and allows you to hook up the new lines without any splicing. We typically recommend you just install the new one in-line with the old one. However, if you choose not to then I recommend using a cooler with sufficient capacity such as the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Installation Location on a 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500Your 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 most likely has the GM 6L80 transmission. On this transmission, the bottom line on the transmission should be the return line (based on some research I did online for this transmission). You should be able to install the transmission cooler like you have described provided you have enough hose to reach. If you install it at the steel lines then you can use a hose fitting, # D13018 for the 4.3 liter or # D13035 for any of the larger motors, so you will not...

I cannot confirm what your truck was or was not equipped with but its sounds like you are referring to a bypass function that reroutes the transmission fluid from the cooler until it reaches a certain temperature. Unfortunately, there would be...

However if you have have 3/8" inner diameter lines, then you could use the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Dodge and Jeep # D13028 instead.

You will need to do some measuring in front of the radiator that is in your 2007 GMC Sierra. If you find that you have enough clearance there to install the # D13105 cooler, then it would work well for you. You will also want to purchase a Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for GM, part # D13018, so you will not have to cut or flare any lines to...

A lot of people do this and it should help bring your transmission fluid temperatures down. You will want to route the transmission fluid through the factory cooler first, and then through the # D13502, and finally back to your transmission. Routing the coolers in that order is crucial, if you were to run the # D13502...

The first thing you will want to do is have the transmission taken care of. I am not aware of a separate cooler for the transmission located under the intake manifold. Typically what is used is a line that runs from the transmission to the radiator. The radiator holds engine coolant and the transmission fluid line is run inside the radiator as well. The radiator cools both the engine coolant and the transmission fluid...
