• Suitability of 2008 Jeep Compass for Towing Trailer Weighing 1800 Lbs
  If the weights you have given me are correct, you should be able to tow the trailer. Keep in mind that you are less than 200 lbs away from your towing capacity. Any extra gear on that trailer could place you over the towing capacity of your Compass which could possibly cause damage to the hitch or the vehicle. Since you are so close to the towing capacity of the vehicle, a transmission cooler would be a wise investment. I would recommend the Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler,...

• Will Using Weight Distribution System Improve Engine Performance on 1989 Toyota 4Runner When Towing
  The main purpose of a weight distribution system would be to reduce sway and the strain on rear suspension, as well as improve steering, when towing your Vintage travel trailer with your 1989 Toyota 4Runner. Using a weight distribution system really is a great idea but it would not have any affect on the performance of your engine. I have included an article which covers common weight distribution and sway control questions. When it comes to performance of your 4Runner, one recommendation...

• Can a Transmission Cooler Bypass the Factory Cooler on a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder
  A lot of people with Nissan vehicles are looking to bypass the factory cooler contained in the radiator like on your 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. The coolers we carry are designed to supplement the factory cooler although some people have used them to replace the factory cooler. You would want to go with the largest cooler possible if you bypass the factory cooler and the inlet/outlets on the radiator for the factory cooler will have to be plugged. Or instead of the largest cooler you would...

• Removal of the Front Bumper and Grill to Install a Transmission Cooler on a 2009 Subaru Forester
  From the research I did it looks like you will need to remove the front grill and bumper to install a transmission cooler like the Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D12906. There will be 16 plastic rivets that will need to be removed. You can use a screwdriver to pop them out. Take your time getting these out so you do not break them. Once the grill and bumper are removed you will have plenty of room to work to install a transmission cooler like the # D12906. I am going...

• Recommendation For Transmission Cooler On A 1995 Nissan Parthfinder 4X4
  To determine what kind of transmission cooler you will need depends on how much weight you will be towing and where you will be towing. If you will be towing a light load, less than 2,000 pounds, in flat driving conditions, your 1995 Nissan Pathfinder 4x4 will do fine with a Class I rated cooler. If you will be towing more than a 2,000 pound load through some hills, I would use a Class II or Class III cooler. I would recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler, part...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 1996 Nissan Pathfinder Towing a 1900 lb Trailer
  There really is not a down side to using a transmission cooler on a vehicle. It has been proven that transmission coolers will prolong the life of a transmission. Especially when the vehicle is towing a trailer. I would strongly recommend you install one since you will be pulling a 1,900 lb trailer with your 1995 Nissan Pathfinder.

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2005 Acura MDX Towing a 3,750 Pound Boat and Trailer
  The Class of transmission cooler you use will depend more on where you can mount it. The most efficient place is in front of the AC condenser. You could then use a Class I cooler, like # D12901. If mounted behind the condenser, I would go with a Class II like # D12906. If mounted behind the radiator I would go with a Class III like # D13502. The problem is that the further away from the front of the vehicle a cooler is mounted, the less airflow it receives. The less airflow a coolers...

  It sounds like you have really done as much as you can to ensure that your 2008 Chevrolet Colorado has the advantage while towing. I think you stated the reason without realizing it, you are going up steep inclines while towing a trailer. Even without a trailer your vehicle will experience extra heat due to the strain of driving uphill. Add to that the weight of a trailer and whatever cargo that if put into the Colorado itself and that is why you cannot go 60-65 mph safely. The most efficient...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2012 Toyota RAV4
  For your 2012 Toyota RAV4 the Derale cooler part # D12906 would be a great option. We normally recommend going with the largest cooler that will fit in front of the radiator. In the case of this cooler it measures 13" Wide x 7-1/2" tall x 3/4" so you would need to measure the available room you have. A more efficient cooler that's a bit smaller is the part # D13503 which measures 11" Wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep.

• What to do if a Transmission Cooler Line Comes off and Fluid is Leaked
  It really is hard to say, your best bet would be to repair the line if you have not already. Fill the transmission up with the appropriate amount of fluid and then take it to a transmission repair shop to have them check it out. Hopefully you get lucky, but there could be a wide range of potential internal problems depending on how long the vehicle was attempted to be driven and the temperature of the transmission.

• Transmission Cooler for 2017 Ram 1500
  The Derale Series 6000 cooler part # D12906 would work on your 2017 Ram 1500. For a truck I wouldn't' recommend this as my first choice as it's a little on the smaller size and not the most efficient of designs. Instead I would have recommended something like the # D13503 which is much more efficient at cooling.

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2008 Honda Pilot
  The main differences between the available transmission coolers is the style of the coolers and the size. There are style that are more efficient that others, and obviously the bigger the cooler the more efficient it is as well. The tube-and-fin style has a tube that carries the transmission fluid through the cooler. It is also distinguished by its turbulators, which agitate the fluid to get more of it to contact the aluminum in the tube. Aluminum fins are attached to the outside of the...
