• Brake Controller and Transmission Cooler for a 2000 Ford Expedition
  Since you mentioned it does not have the factory tow package, but that you do have a 4-way, I am going with the assumption that the 4-way was an aftermarket addition. To use a brake controller, you will need to adapt your current 4-way into a 7-way using the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. The # ETBC7 kit will provide you with everything that you need to adapt the 4-way into a functioning 7-way to use a brake controller. The brake controller that I recommend...

• Will a Transmission Cooler Affect Engine Temperature Towing With A 2016 Grand Caravan
  Transmission coolers should not impair the engine's ability to stay cool when operating. One point to note is that these coolers are much smaller than the radiator and allow plenty of air flow to pass both around and through to the engine. For transmission coolers, the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13611 is a fine choice. It's a radiator style design and the fluid is continually agitated to help dissipate heat. Include is a video review for more information.

• Recommended Transmission Cooler for 1994 Nissan Pathfinder

The cooler installs inline with the transmission return line that runs from the...

Feel the two lines; the cooler one is the return line.

• Are Additional Fittings Needed to Install Transmission Cooler on a 2008 Nissan Armada SE 5.6L
  You should not have to worry about that warning since it is uncommon. The transmission cooler # D13611 comes with an Insta-dapt fitting that you can use to avoid have to flare the steel or aluminum lines. The worst case scenario is that you would have to flare the metal lines, if applicable. If the lines are aluminum you can flare them with a Phillips screwdriver. Steel lines would require a flare tool which your local auto parts store should have. But I do not think that will be necessary...

• Comparing Different Types of Transmission Coolers for a 2006 Subaru Outback Wagon
  The reason you do not see any cooling capacity figures for a transmission cooler is because there are just too many variables at hand to give any sort of accurate estimates.
