1982 Chevrolet Malibu - Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/ NPT Inlets - Class I -Extra Efficient

  • Plate-Fin Cooler
  • With 1/2 Inch NPT
  • 11W x 3-7/8T x 1-1/4D Inch
  • Derale
  • Standard Mount

11" Wide x 3-7/8" tall x 1-1/4" deep, radiator-style heat exchanger improves the performance and overall functioning of your Dodge Ram Pickup's transmission. Includes hose-barb adapters to fit the 1/2" NPT inlets.


Features:

  • Prolongs life of transmission
  • Improves overall performance
  • Prevents heat-related failures
  • Has furnace-brazed aluminum construction and 1-1/4" wide turbulator plates for more efficient cooling
  • Includes complete mounting kit, OEM spec hose with stainless steel clamps, Insta-dapt radiator adapter and hose-barb fittings
  • Sleek design makes this ideal for use in compact cars


Specs:

  • Inlets: 1/2" NPT
  • Fittings: 1/2" NPT x 3/8" hose barb
  • Overall dimensions: 11" wide x 3-7/8" tall x 1-1/4" deep
  • Distance between inlets: 8-7/8"
  • Mounting dimensions: 6-3/4" wide x 3" tall
  • 1-Year warranty


Note: The Derale Insta-dapt radiator adapter fits most Dodge Ram Pickups 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.


One of the more popular cooling systems available, the radiator-style, plate-and-fin heat exchanger provides increased surface area so that fluids can spread out along the finned chambers to cool faster. In addition to the increased surface area, this cooler also features turbulator technology, whereby fluids are agitated continuously, not only to facilitate heat transfer, but also to prevent any undesirable drop in pressure.

I actually have been very pleased with the performance. That was my third installation and all of them are working great . Thanks for asking.

This oil cooler has really helped improve the oil pressure in my GEN III Hemi by reducing the oil temperate approximately 20 degrees cooler than before we installed it. Excellent product by Derale and service by etrailer.com.

The cooler was easy to install,the instruction were easy to follow. I did check the oil temp after pulling a 4000 ft grade pulling a camp trailer with an electronic temp probe and there was a 50 deg temp drop thru the cooler.

My original transmission cooler sprung a leak on my 1990 dodge pickup and a direct replacement couldn't be found. Etrailer had a cooler that would fit and do the job. Would highly recommend them to solve your problems and supply what's needed.

Hose could be a little longer for non professionals cutting too short.
I would recommend buying extra hose too install. Overall easy too install and works great

Fittings came contaminated with metal shavings from machining and wouldn't even fit in to the cooler really poor quality. If this is in the fittings who knows whats in the cooler. Complete waste of time do not buy

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendations for a 2011 Toyota Corolla
    Both the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13611 and the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit , # D13501, would be a great choice for your 2011 Toyota Corolla. The general rule is that transmission fluid cannot be cooled too much, so using the largest cooler that will fit is a good idea, especially if towing. The only reason not to add the largest cooler possible, would be if you live in very cold climates where temperatures are below 0 degrees often...

  • Transmission Cooler for a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
    Some Nissan vehicles like the 2005 Nissan Pathfinder can have problems with the transmission and radiator. If it were me I would look for any signs of leaking fluid at the tranny and radiator. Also, if you notice anything out of the ordinary with the way the vehicle changes gears, I would avoid it. The problem that usually occurs is that the radiator will leak coolant into the transmission cooler cavity. Once you get foreign materials or fluids in the transmission its pretty much done. The...

  • Transmission Cooler for 2005 Honda Accord V6.
    The Derale # D13611 transmission cooler isn't designed to replace the factory transmission cooler, it's designed to supplement it. The cooler installs inline on the return line from the factory cooler back to the transmission. The heat exchanger portion would ideally be installed directly behind the grillwork, in front of the radiator. If you use the provided link, my buddy David will run through how the cooler works. I'll also link to some help articles about transmission coolers.

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2006 Pontiac Vibe AWD with a 1.8L Engine
    Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, however to optimize efficiency you would want to use the largest transmission cooler available, and mount in the optimal place on your vehicle. The most efficient mounting position is considered to be between the grille and the AC condenser core. Considering the space that is available for you to mount a transmission cooler is most likely limited on your 2006 Pontiac Vibe I recommend either the Derale 9000 Plate and Fin Transmission Cooler...

  • How Does Supplemental Transmission Cooler Work with Factory Cooler of 2003 Ford Escape
    When installing a transmission cooler the best solution is to install the supplemental cooler after the factory cooler so that you get the cooling power of both coolers. That is what I would recommend when installing an a cooler on your 2003 Ford Escape.

  • Do I Need A Transmission Cooler When Towing A 2003 Saturn LW300 With A Motorhome
    Using a transmission cooler on your motorhome when towing a vehicle would definitely help limit the wear and tear on the transmission. The Derale Transmission Cooler, # D13611, is designed for compact cars so I would recommend the Derale Transmission Cooler, # D13504, which is designed for larger vehicles. You will want to make sure that you will have room in front of your a/c condenser or radiator to install the heat exchanger. If you are asking about installing the Derale Transmission...

  • Can the Factory Transmission Cooler be Replaced on a 2006 Nissan Xterra
    The factory transmission cooler is likely inside of the radiator on your 2006 Nissan Xterra so the only way to replace it would be to replace the radiator. You can probably find an aftermarket one for less money than an OEM replacement from Nissan. I can tell you that what they want to charge, assuming that includes parts AND labor, is not a bad price for that type of repair. Bypassing the factory cooler would be the best option if you don't want to replace the radiator. If you do that...

  • Transmission Cooler for a 2016 GMC Terrain Denali with 3.6 Liter V8
    Yes you can use the Derale transmission cooler # D13611 on your 2016 GMC Terrain. The cooler will help the fluid run at a lower temperature which is better for the transmission so that you will get the most life out of it. Installation is not all that difficult. Take a look at the video I have linked showing an example installation on a vehicle. Installation will be similar on your Terrain.

  • 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...

  • Transmission Cooler Options For 2014 Toyota Tundra SR5 4.6L
    We have class I # D13611, Class II # D12906, Class III # D12903 and Class IV # D12904 coolers for your 2014 Toyota Tundra SR5 with the 4.6L. I would suggest getting the Class IV just to get the most cooling for the purchase. They all install relatively the same so I've included an installation video to help you do it on your own!

  • Transmission Cooler For A 2015 Chevrolet Equinox
    The Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/ NPT Inlets - Class I -Extra Efficient # D13611 is my recommendation. The radiator-style, plate-and-fin heat exchanger provides increased surface area so that fluids can spread out along the finned chambers to cool faster. The ideal place to mount a transmission cooler for maximum cooling efficiency is behind the grill of your 2015 Chevy Equinox but in front of the radiator.

  • Transmission Cooler for a 2015 Toyota 4Runner Towing a Pop-up Camper
    I have just what you need. The most popular transmission cooler for the 2015 Toyota 4Runner is Derale cooler # D13503. This cooler measures 11 inches wide, 8-3/4 inches tall, and 7/8 inches deep. It will increase the cooling capacity beyond what the factory system can handle alone to help keep your transmission fluid at a safe temperature when you are towing as well as when you are not towing.

I recommend the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/ NPT Inlets - Class I -Extra Efficient item # D13611. You will want to remove the current one and install this one in place of it as you probably won't have enough room to install both. I have linked a picture of what this cooler looks like installed.

  • Larger Hose Fittings for Derale # D13611 on 2010 Mercury Mariner
    On the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/ NPT Inlets - Class I -Extra Efficient # D13611, the fittings that come with the unit are 1/2" NPT x 3/8" hose barb. The other option for fittings are the Derale 1/2" NPT Male x 1/2" Barb Straight Hose Fitting - 2 Piece # D15712 along with the 1/2 inch inner diameter hose # D15700 and hose clamps # D13008. This slightly larger size is the only other option for the 1/2" NPT fitting on your cooler.

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler for a 2016 Ford F-150 w/ 5.0 Liter Engine
    For your 2016 Ford F-150 5.0 Liter, I recommend the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/ NPT Inlets item # D13611. This cooler is the highest capacity available for your F-150. It is 11" wide x 3-7/8" tall x 1-1/4" deep. The reason I like this cooler over others is that it includes a complete mounting kit, with OEM spec hose with stainless steel clamps, Insta-dapt radiator adapter and hose-barb fittings.

  • Derale Transmission Cooler for 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche with 5.3L V8 Engine
    For your 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche with 5.3L V8 engine the most popular supplementary transmission cooler is the Derale part # D13503 which will install using Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting # D13035. This cooler is a Class III type, meaning it offers substantial supplementary cooling of your transmission fluid after it gets its first temperature reduction inside your radiator. This 11 x 8-3/4 x 7/8-inch cooler will take in the transmission fluid after the initial cooling and drop its...

  • Recommended Transmission and Power Steering Cooler for 2007 Honda Pilot

This kit comes with the barb fittings to make the installation easy. You may also be interested in the Derale Single-Hose Transmission Cooler Installation...

  • Transmission Cooler Compatible With a 2023 Toyota Tacoma
    I do see Toyota does offer a small transmission cooler like the Derale # D13611 from the factory on your 2023 Toyota Tacoma. It appears this is added if you have the factory towing package and automatic transmission. Their cooler is connected using hose clamps so it does not appear there is a way to attach a cooler using mechanical connections unless you switch the lines to some with AN fittings. Personally I recommend the larger Cooler # D13503 to help keep temperatures lower. These coolers...

  • Transmission Cooler for 2016 Honda Pilot
    It is pretty common for aftermarket products such as transmission coolers to deliver performance that is superior to that of OEM components. Transmission coolers vary in their efficiency/cooling power and are given Class Ratings to indicate their effectiveness. Small is okay but bigger is definitely better when it comes to coolers. For example, a small cooler like the Derale # D13611 (about 11 x 4-inches) carries a Class I rating while the much larger # D13503 (11 x 8-3/4-inches) is rated...

  • Transmission Fluid Needed for Transmission Cooler Installation
    When you install the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13611 a little extra fluid will be needed. The last part of the installation instructions have you add fluid as needed and then drive the vehicle for a little while and recheck the fluid level. Not much additional fluid is needed unless much is spilled when you disconnect and reconnect the lines. Normally just a few ounces of fluid is needed.

  • Compatibility of Transmission Cooler with Automatic Transmission on 2006 Toyota Corolla
    You will want to install the cooler on the return line. You can identify which one is the return by starting out with the engine cold, starting it, shifting into gear for about 10-seconds and then back to park, then shutting the engine off. Feel the two lines; the cooler one is the return line. Please note that when you add a cooler like Derale # D13611 (or a larger one) that is confirmed to fit your car you naturally also add a requirement for additional fluid. Toyota insists that only...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2003 Honda Pilot
    If you're not planning on towing frequently at or near its 4500 lb capacity or in mountainous areas, the Derale # D13611 you'd looked at would be an excellent choice. The cooler is a plate fit design, which offers extremely high efficiency in a small package that won't take up much room on the front of your radiator. If you'll be pushing the vehicle harder by towing more frequently and planning on running up and down hills, a larger cooler like # D13502 would be a better choice. Unless...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation to Replace a Faulty Cooler in a 2006 Nissan Xterra
    Aftermarket transmission coolers are typically marketed as supplemental coolers, not replacement coolers. If you are looking to replace your OEM transmission cooler due to a leaky or damaged cooler, then you will want to install the largest transmission cooler that will fit in the space available. The ideal place to install this cooler would be in front of the AC condenser or radiator to allow for adequate air flow. I would recommend looking at the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Cooler,...
