15-1/4" Wide x 7-1/2" tall x 3/4" deep, reliable, all-aluminum tube-and-fin cooler extends the life and improves overall functioning of your Chevrolet Express Van's transmission.
Features:
Specs:
Note: The Derale Insta-dapt radiator adapter fits most vehicles with 5/16" transmission lines, but not all. In some cases, additional fittings or alteration of the OEM lines or hoses may be required for installation.
Perhaps the simplest type of heat exchanger, the tube-fin effectively cools a variety of automotive systems. The concept is simple: Fluid cools as it travels through the core by transferring heat out to the fins. The fins then provide the surface area necessary for sufficient heat exchange to take place, allowing the heat pulled from the fluid to dissipate into the surrounding air. Quick, easy and effective.

15-1/4" Wide x 7-1/2" tall x 3/4" deep, reliable, all-aluminum tube-and-fin cooler extends the life and improves overall functioning of your vehicle's transmission.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!
I have always loved etrailer and their service. Once again order another of these coolers. Drop my temp from 240 to 170-190 also remember to order extra hose, the adapter if needed for your vehicle make, mount kits. Love it. Perfect this one is on a 07 GMC Yukon XL always add an extra cooler on your 1500 gmc or chevys they help out so much for them.
I just installed this on my chevy avalanche.
Flipped the bottom brace around in order to mount to.
The hardest part is getting the hoses on the cooler and over the return line.
I ended up getting a 90 deg quick connection coming from the radiator instead of using the one I got from etrailer. This keeps the hose from bending as much.
Also purchase the installation kit with a hose as you will need an extra hose.
After install I wish I would have went with the next bigger unit which is 10 high instead of 7 1/2 as I had plenty of room.
Excellent, way better than the WeatherTech rain guards I had on there before.
Hose barely fits on the fittings of the fittings of the cooler. It was very frustrating.
It appears that my transmission temp dropped about 40-60° adding this cooler. The hose was pretty hard to attach to the cooler, even with lubrication. The hose was also to small for my vehicle so I had to source other parts to make it work. I installed it on a 2017 explorer.
I bought this cooler for my 2007 Chevy avalanche LTZ 4X4 with 5.3 motor. I also bought the adapter the adapter D13035 for my truck as well. It was a quick and easy install. I just got it installed on 2/2/2018 and took the truck for a drive and it has dropped my transmission temp at least 40 degrees. It took me around 40 min to install. Very Happy with this new addition to my truck. FYI if you buy this unit to make it easier i would order an extra Line because the one line will be cutting close to reaching location.
Very good product works well. The reason for 3 stars, it's NOT a direct fit as described when I purchased the product. The transmission lines are fitted to the A/C condenser so they had to be cut and needed to buy a flaring tool to flare the cut transmission lines. I look at the product online and now there's a note stating altering OEM lines may be needed. This wasn't there when I purchased it which delayed my install for another day.
All parts were as they were stated. I have not towed my boat for any distance yet to see how well it lowers the temp of my transmission. Idid have to buy some more because I came up about 6" to short.
Just got it in the mail the other day. Fast shipping, never have had an issue. Having it installed right now. Feels like it is well constructed and should do the job. We shall see what happens.

What is the rated towing weight for a 1999 Honda CR-V? Does a trannie cooler install fairly easily on the Honda CR-Vs? What is the most effective mounting location for the finned cooler? How does the addition of a trannie cooler effect the volume of fluid and fluid level reading on the dip stick? Thanks for your time and expertise.

Lacked one connector for my application.
Put 10k miles on it so far so good. I'm running it on a modified trans behind a 550 horse 6.0
works great for a simple upgrade.
I put the transmission cooler on a 2006 ram 2500 it keeps it 30° cooler than the OEM transmission cooler
Removing the front bumper/grill on my Odyssey was a must! Installation was pretty much straight forward once you confirm the feed, and return connection points. Mounting the actual cooler to the front radiator was the easiest part of the job. My Odyssey made two 650 mile trips pulling 2050 lbs with no problems so I’m very happy with the cooler!
Works solidly, much better than the optional stock tranny cooler. It doesn't get temps as low as another one I've had, but it doesn't leak like that one either! Always keeps temps within acceptable range, though at the higher end of acceptable when pulling 7-8k in 110*F outside temps and hills. Be prepared to fabricate a mount for it, not a one size fits all kit!
good product form a great company !
my only complaint is this was listed as for my specific truck, but the "insta-dapt" supplied doesn't fit the Dodge truck of my year. even doing my research ahead of time, it seems to be hit or miss whether it would fit as some of them come with 5/16 fittings and some (like mine) come with 9/16 fittings. it doesnt matter the engine size, even other 3.7L dodge trucks of the same year have 5/16 fittings... I think Dodge made a change middle year, but never let the consumer know as mine is a late year '04.
no dig deal as I was able to assemble it anyways and got it up and running great and both the radiator and trans are running much cooler now !
I attached the D12902 to the bumper as you will see in attached images.
2 attached images are just before finishing, bumper hasnt been attached yet, one of them is after everything was complete.
I was able to mount it but never able to actually install it and hook it up completely.
This fan looks like it will do a great job.
No more overheated transmission.
Pulling a trailer in stop and go traffic on a 100 degree day - No problem :-)
Installed this in a 2017 Honda Ridgeline. Mounted it above the factory cooler that was already in the truck. (Flat fin side towards the a/c condenser). I used the insta-mount zip tie kit and also the flex metal mounts to anchor the cooler to the top of the factory cooler bracket as close to the a/c condenser as possible. The vertical bracket (part of the truck) that runs right down the middle of the a/c condenser has to be cut. All fairly minor fabrication. Hack saw and hand drill stuff. The fan has to be reversed to become a pusher. Followed the hood release cable from the interior to run 12 volts to power the fan on at ignition. Haven’t hooked the trailer up yet so I don’t know if this will resolve the hot tranny situation. ( I could smell the tranny getting hot before especially when we stopped at lights). Change your fluid too. etrailer delivered quickly and the cooler was well boxed and untouched.
Appears well constructed and delivered with all parts necessary for installation. Rating base on just that. Have not installed but, when installed and operational I’ll rewrite review.

It’s working great! Installed transmission temperature gauge also and temp is keeping between 110-130F on any driving conditions. Looks like new, no corrosion any kind, very happy with this one!
