with these fittings and transmission oil cooler on my 2000 Ford F350 superduty powerstroke diesel has lowered my temps by 15 degrees.
Thanks

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 :-)



by:

As a returning coustomer I can say all my dealings with atrailer have been great.
Great product, price, shipping and the very best coustomer service.
Product fit perfect and preformed as expected.
Will be back in the future when I need products etrailer sells
Thanks

Great product at a good price , makes adding a trans cooler easy.

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.

  • Finding Transmission Return Line on 2001 Ford F250
    This is pretty easy. The line to the cooler will be warmer than the return line. To determine which is which, start the engine when it's cold. Put your foot on the brake, and shift into D for about 10-15 seconds, keeping your foot on the brake. Put the transmission back in part and shut off the truck. Feel the transmission lines or use an IR thermometer like # TM48FR. The cooler of the two lines is the return line, which is the one you want to tap the cooler into. You'll also need the #...

  • Determining Towing Capacity of 2014 Ford F-150 and Upgrade Options to Improve Performance
    Subtracting the CGVW (Gross Combined Vehicle Weight) from the GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) is indeed the most accurate way to determine a particular vehicle's true towing capacity. Because there are so many potential variables as to what was actually added to the truck at the factory, this is the ideal method. With that being said I wasn't able to find any specifics on if or by how much not having the factory tow package would decrease the towing capacity of your F-150. It's also important...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty with 7.3 Liter Powerstroke
    You can certainly use the Derale 24 Inch Frame Rail Fluid Cooler, # D13225, for your 1999 Ford F-250. You would also need Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings, # D13025, for the 7.3 liter Powerstroke. Any transmission cooler will could essentially be considered a remote mount application. I have included a link to the coolers recommended for your truck and engine. I have also included a link to our transmission cooler FAQ article and a video showing a typical installation. For your truck and...

  • What Transmission Cooler Fitting Will Fit On 2002 Ford F150 With 4.2 Liter V6
    The transmission cooler fittings you have referenced, # D13018, are not the correct part for your 2002 Ford F150 with 4.2L V6. For the 2002 Ford F150 with 4.2 L V6, it depends on what size transmission line fittings you have. If you have 5/8 inches-18 transmission line fittings you would use the Transmission Cooler Fitting, # D13025. If you have the 1/2 inches-20 transmission line fittings you would use Transmission Cooler Fitting, # D13024.

  • 1998 Ford Explorer 4 Door Replacement Electric/Heated Mirrors and 5.0L Transmission Cooler
    If your 1998 Ford Explorer does not currently have heated mirrors you would not gain that feature by getting the CIPA Mirrors part numbers # CM43312 and # CM43313. Like you suspected it uses a factory connection that will not be present on vehicles without heated factory mirrors. If you have electric mirrors without heat you would want CIPA Mirrors # CM42195 and # CM42095. Adding an additional transmission cooler would be an excellent idea for you. Heat is the number 1 enemy to transmissions...

  • Transmission Oil Coolant Return Line Location and Transmission Cooler for a 2000 Ford F-250
    I spoke with a local Ford dealership and found out that the return line from your factory cooler is indeed the one that is run to the rear of the transmission on your 2000 Ford F-250. 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,...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler For Early 2009 Ford Flex With 3.5L Non-Eco Boost Engine
    For your early 2009 Ford Flex with the 3.5l V6 Non-Eco Boost I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets - Class III - Efficient # D13503 as it is confirmed to fit your vehicle, and due to its effeciency in cooling the fluid from your transmission. To install the # D13503 you will also need the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury # D13025. I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

  • Transmission Cooler For 2007 Ford F150
    You can indeed install a cooler like the # D52506 in place of the existing factory cooler, but you might consider installing it inline between the radiator and transmission as outlined in the help article I've provided. This will provide additional cooling which will work great because unless you live in a very cold climate, you really can't over cool a transmission. You'll need one of two fittings. Use kit # D13024 for vehicles with 1/2"-20 thread on trans line fitting, or use kit # D13025...

  • Will a Remote Transmission Cooler Fit a 2005 Ford F-250 with 5.4 Liter
    The great thing about the Derale remote transmission cooler # D13950 is that you can mount it where ever you have space. Since it has its own fan it does not have to be placed out in front of the motor. This will allow you to position it in the place with the most room and that does include areas outside of the engine compartment! The only stipulation you will want to follow is not to place it too low or to where the fan or fins are facing the ground because something could bounce up from...

  • Recommendation For Transmission Cooler on 2005 Ford Excursion 6.8L / V-10
    I would strongly recommend to add an aftermarket transmission cooler to your 2005 Ford Excursion 6.8L vehicle to prevent any damage to your transmission. The ideal operating temperature range of your transmission fluid should be 160 to 200 degrees. Adding the cooler will not bypass the existing factory cooler which is located inside the radiator. Adding a cooler provides supplemental cooling to the your factory cooler. Transmission coolers are universal fit items. What you will need to...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for Bypassing Factory Cooler of 2008 Ford Explorer
    It is possible to bypass the transmission cooler of your 2008 Ford Explorer's radiator and run just a supplemental cooler. For that the Derale Cooler part # D13503 would work well as this is a pretty large cooler with dimensions of 11" Wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep. The part number # D13025 comes with fittings that will attach to your current transmission lines. Since you'd need two of the female connectors you'd have to order a quantity of two of these. Then you'll be able to put these...

  • Transmission Cooler Options for 2006 Ford F-250 5.4L V8
    Supplemental transmission coolers like the Derale # D13504 and adapter kit # D13025 that fit your 2006 Ford F-250 V8 are installed on the transmission's return line. This will be the line that carries the transmission fluid from the primary cooler back to the transmission. The Derale cooler will take in this pre-cooled fluid and continue to cool it before routing it back to the transmission. If you start the cold truck, shift it into gear for about 15-seconds, and then shut it off you...

  • Transmission Cooler Routing Recommendation on a 2002 Ford Super Duty Truck
    Yes, you could use the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford, part # D13025, to allow you to use Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, part # D13504, with the factory cooler that is on your 2002 Ford Super Duty truck. You would want to route the Derale cooler after the factory cooler. 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...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation For 2011 Ford Escape
    I 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...

  • Electric Fan For 1999 Ford F250 4x4 Light Duty
    Yes, the Flex-a-lite 16" Trimline Reversible Electric Radiator Fan # FLX116 is a confirmed fit for your 1999 Ford F250. As far as other items to consider if you're towing include a transmission cooler kit # D12906 with required adapter # D13025 is an additional upgrade that would help avoid potential overheating issues.

  • Parts Needed to Install a Transmission Cooler in a 2000 Ford F-150
    You will also want to use the Derale fitting part # D13025 with the Derale transmission cooler part # D13504 as this will allow you to install the cooler without having to cut or flare any metal lines. I attached an install video and a help article on transmission coolers for you to check out as well.

  • How Difficult is it to Install a Transmission Cooler on a 2012 Ford F-150
    Transmission coolers are fairly simple to install requiring just a bit of mechanical aptitude and some basic tools. If I had to rate the process on a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being easy and 10 being hard, I would have to say about a 5. I have attached an install video for you. The process to install the cooler will not be the same as the attached video for your truck but very similar as the process will only differ slightly. As long as you have 11" wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep of space...

  • Transmission Cooler for 2000 Ford F-250 Towing Heavy 5th Wheel Trailer
    Any fluid leaking from a vehicle is a warning. Often this indicates excessive temperatures in your transmission. If your transmission is stressed to the point of leaking fluid this means that somewhere either a seal, hose or other fitting is being pushed past its limit. My first suggestion is that you try to find that leakage point so you can check whether you have a bad seal or fitting that can be replaced. Driving your truck, let alone towing a trailer with it, with an inadequate trans...

  • Best Towing Enhancements for a 2013 Ford F-150 with 5.0L V8 Engine
    If you are looking for performance enhancements, I recommend using the Edge EvoHT2 Hand-Held Performance Tuner part # EP16040. This tuner can provide you with a boost in horsepower up to 24 HP and torque up to 24 TQ. The towing tune built into the device will adjust shift points for prolonged transmission life and maximize fuel pressure for increase fuel economy. If you are looking for suspension enhancements, I recommend taking a look at the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part...

    When adding the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13504 you will only need one of the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury # D13025. This comes with 2 adapter fittings for installation on your 2006 Ford F-150. The male threaded end of the fitting goes into your vehicle's radiator. The female end adapter attaches to the line you removed from the radiator that runs to your transmission. The other end of each fitting is a hose barb where a rubber...

  • Recommendation for a Supplemental Transmission Cooler for a 2007 Ford F-150 with 5.4 Liter Engine
    Based on the information you have provided, which I greatly appreciate, a standard supplemental cooler should be sufficient for your needs. Ideally you want the transmission temperature to be no more than 200 degrees F. Mounting a larger cooler directly behind the grille (in front of everything else) such as # D13504 should get you to the ideal range. You will also want fitting # D13025 so you will not have to cut and flare any lines. A remote cooler with its own fan will provide the optimum...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendations for a 2002 F-350 with the 7.3L Diesel
    Transmission 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...
