- Plate-Fin Cooler
- With 11/32 Inch Hose Barb Inlets
- Standard Mount
- 11W x 5-3/4T x 7/8D Inch
- Derale
11" Wide x 5-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep, efficient heat exchanger will prolong the life of your transmission and improve its overall performance. Specifically designed for Ford F-150s with late-model, electronic overdrive transmissions.
Features:
- Prolongs life of transmission
- Improves overall performance
- Prevents heat-related failures
- Has furnace-brazed aluminum construction and 3/4" wide turbulator plates for more efficient cooling
- Includes complete mounting kit, OEM spec hose with stainless steel clamps and Insta-dapt radiator adapter
- Recommended for small to mid-size trucks and SUVs
Specs:
- Inlets: 11/32" hose barb
- Overall dimensions: 11" wide x 5-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep
- Distance between inlets: 10-1/4"
- Mounting dimensions: 4-1/2" tall by either 5-1/2" wide or 6-3/4" wide
- 1-Year warranty
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.
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.

1998 Lincoln Mark VIII
Have a 1998 Lincoln Mark 8 w/ 4 speed automatic which retails for no less than $ 4000.00 - Having this potential monkey on my back , I decided to invest in a trans cooler. Fabricated mounts and bolted on , used double flare connection to cooling line w/ barbed fitting ; barbed fitting @ radiator fitting. Used 2 hose clamps @ cooler, one clamp on each barbed fitting . Could only mount with fittings to left ,fluid leaves radiator , enters cooler @ top ( to reduce pump load ), comes out of bottom & returns to tranny. No trans temp. guage, but cooler gets hot @ idle, verifying cooler works . Well constructed and sturdy,easy to mount ; comes with instructions.

It’s been almost a year since I installed this transmission cooler. I would say it’s gone without a hitch, but THAT would be inaccurate. I also installed a hitch! I placed great confidence in this transmission cooler to do its job as my 2015 Honda Accord V6 served as my truck during our move this past year. Never a problem (ok, I’ll say it... It went without a hitch!).
etrailer customer service was EXCELLENT! There was a question during installation that arose from my particular model of car having a Transmission Fluid Warmer that in effect made identification of the transmission outlet and inlet reversed according to the instructions. The technician actually read and considered what I was saying, instead of just assuming the instructions applied to my vehicle. Thanks to their input, I correctly reversed the directions and got the correct solution!
BTW... I attached some pics of the correct hose routing for the 2015 Honda Accord V6. Note how you simply remove the short hose shown in the first pic, and connect the hoses from the transmission cooler! Note that I mounted the transmission cooler vertically so the hoses would reach. The last pic is showing the transmission fluid warmer (just as an FYI).

I installed this transmission cooler about a year ago. Install went easy but I did have The bumper off as I was replacing the radiator. I think my temperatures are down by about 15°. The only reason I did not give it five stars is that I probably could’ve used a larger one.

I now have had the cooler installed for 2 yrs. Works great. Recently was towing up a long grade, about 6 miles, temp stayed in a decent range the entire climb, even at a reasonable speed.

2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek
Although the website said this fit my car, it didn't. etrailer is good if you don't have to return anything. I've done a lot of business with them and have been satisfied but when I had to return this the return shipping was a third of the price of the item. Not good.

I am not sure as to how the installation was attempted however the manufacturer does show this to be a fit for a 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek with a 2.0L H4 Engine. It is specifically designed for Subaru XV Crosstreks with late-model, electronic overdrive transmissions. The radiator adapter that comes with the kit will fit most vehicles with a five sixteenth transmission line but not all. In some cases, additional fittings or alteration of the OEM lines or hoses may be required for installation. The label that we send will allow the part to be returned via UPS ground. Using our label is not required if you have a way of shipping it back that is more economical. You will just want to make sure that it is trackable.
by: Roy07/21/2019
Very easy to install! Installed on a 2014 Toyota Sienna. Installed lower right quadrant. Make sure you have an extra hose clamp to complete the installation ( if you are using the insta adapt as a hose slice) very good design!

Dodge Grand Caravan
I was lucky enough to have Etrailer install this on my Grand Caravan (they made a video). I drove 800 miles towing a 6x12 enclosed trailer with NO problems. It kept my transmission cool towing through the mountains. I have towed smaller trailers with the minivan that made it shift strange. After installation, all better.

2003 Honda CR-V
I found etrailer.com on random search in the internet after we bought our CRV and started researching hitches. U-Haul, whom I use often I use often and like very much, wanted $400 for the hitch, harness and transmission cooler. I found all three on etrailer for $200, and they delivered it quickly (and I mean quickly) and it wasl well packaged, etc. I figured I was a handy person, and thought how hard could it be? Well not only where the products high quality, the instructions clear and easy, they videos are a life savers for people who do better "seeing" a process, rather than "read" about a process. The hitch took me 20 minutes, the harness 20, and the Transmission Cooler about 45. Thank you etrailer for the pleasent experience, I am already going to order a few accessories for ouu CRV, and guess where I will be buying them! In case is was unclear, etrailer all the way.

2005 Honda Pilot
Great product and the install on my 2005 Honda Pilot was fairly easy. The only thing I needed was additional hose line.
by: Mike McG06/25/2011
2004 Oldsmobile Alero
Product was as described on the website. Installation took a few hours - no where near as easy as shown on the installation video - to install on my 2004 Alero. The challenge is that the upper line transmission cooler line is the line you have to route the cooler hoses to and mounting the cooler and getting the lines routed up to the top of the radiotr houseing required removal of the front bumper, loosening the radiator mount (from below the car - there are two wing nuts) and then CAREFULLY drilling a 11/2" hole in the plastic molding that completely covers the front upper portion of the radiator. Then you can route the hoses through the hole. I bought the optional GM fittings and that made connecting the hoses very easy.
by: Paul03/22/2022
I did not install this trans cooler myself. Installer said the supplied hose clamps were somewhat weak, and one broke during install. So far, seems to be working well, but it is still winter in Wisconsin and the hot weather/trailering test is yet to come.

2011 Nissan Rogue
The cooler itself fixed my Nissan Rogue limp problem completely fine, the installation was annoying, but nothing I didn't expect from it. The only problem I had with this product was that the hose that came with the kit was not long enough for both the return and arrival lines, I had to go to a local auto shop in order to get another hose to complete the installation.

2001 Buick Century
Installed the Derale 8000 because my 2001 Buick Century would shift hard when it got hot outside. So far i've driven it a week and it's been shifting smooth. The Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter installed easily with no leaks. I suggest getting extra hose. Needed another 12" to complete.
by: Todd I.06/20/2011
The product arrived in a timely manner and was as advertised. The product included all hardware needed to install it onto the vehicle. The only problem I had was identifying the transmission lines and determining which line was the hot side and which was the return side. This was no reflection on the product, but more detailed installation instructions would have been nice. The installation videos on the website contributed greatly to my decision to purchase the product.

2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
My tranny fluid was running hot on my 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP. The transmission on these cars is known to not be able to handle the power of the engine too well so I wanted to do anything to help it out. I had this cooler installed to supplement the factory cooler.
I am not towing anything so a large cooler isn't a necessity. So far, this cooler is working as I expected, keeping the fluid below 200 degrees with the temperature outside above 100! Though a larger cooler would probably get the temp closer to where I'd like it, there is not much room in the engine compartment for something much bigger on my car.

2015 Subaru Forester
Looks like its well made but hose is only about half of what I will need as this does not just enhance the build-in cooler but must be connected all the way back to the transmission from in front of the radiator. Install will be in a 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i.

- Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 1990 Chevy C/K Series PickupIt sounds like you're speaking of the Derale # D13501 which measures 11 x 5-3/4 inches and the Derale # D13503. A larger cooler will offer more surface area for the heat exchange, so when it comes to transmission coolers bigger is typically better. Unless you live in a climate that's consistently below freezing for much of the year, saying that you can't overcool a transmission is a pretty safe statement. The most efficient spot to mount a cooler is directly behind the grille in front...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2012 Honda AccordIn order to pick out a transmission cooler for your 2012 Honda Accord, or any other vehicle for that matter, we recommend you measure the area in front of your radiator and AC condenser to determine how much room you have to work with and then find a transmission cooler that fits those dimensions. The Derale Transmission Cooler # D13501 that you referenced is 11 inches wide by 5-3/4 inches tall and 7/8 inches deep. If you find you have the clearance for that then this cooler would do an...

If you have an automatic transmission Nissan requires that a vehicle dolly be used for towing your 2013 Nissan Frontier. Please double check your owners manual and confirm that your specific vehicle is capable of flat towing. I assume by transmission pump you are referring to a lube pump. A lube pump is used while the...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2004 Nissan Frontier Flat Towing a 1997 Geo TrackerThe best way to pick out a transmission cooler is to check out the area in front of the radiator to determine how big of a transmission cooler would fit in the available space. The bigger the cooler you can fit the better. Especially since you plan on towing something as heavy as a vehicle. The Derale Transmission Cooler part # D13501 that you referenced is a smaller plate and fin cooler that would work decently, but I would go with a bigger one if you can fit it. If you have the room...
view full answer... - Recommended Transmission Cooler for a 2018 Subaru OutbackThe Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit part # D13501 is my recommendation for a 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon. It will do a great job of reducing the transmission fluid temperature when towing in any climate. It should be the perfect size for the available space in front of the radiator and behind the grille. I do not recommend any sort of thermostat bypass for this application.
view full answer... - Which Line Going to the Radiator of a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country is the Supply LineThe best way to determine which transmission line is the high-pressure or supply line and which is the return line is to start the motor cold. Place the transmission in drive for 10 seconds and return it to park. Turn off the motor and feel both transmission lines where they exit the radiator. The cooler of the two lines will be your return line, the warmer line is your supply line. I have included a diagram of a typical transmission cooler installation. To see a typical install video,...

- What Brake Controller do You Recommend for My 2020 Toyota Highlander while Towing a 4,000 lb. CamperI did some research on your 2020 Toyota Highlander L, and it looks like your vehicle is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds. With this tow capacity, you will be able to safely tow without the need of a transmission cooler for your 4,000 pound trailer. As always, I recommend confirming with your owner's manual for the most accurate weight capacity rating. However, if you wish to extend the life of your transmission, I do recommend a transmission cooler like the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin...

This cooler will install in front of the vehicles radiator and air conditioning condenser and is 11 inches Wide x 7-1/4 inches tall x 7/8 inches deep.

This is a plate-and-fin cooler, which means it uses smaller plates that cover more area than other coolers in order to agitate transmission fluid. Because you cannot overcool fluids, the rule of thumb with transmission coolers is that size matters so the large 11" wide...

- Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2003 Chrysler Town and CountryI attached an install video that shows a Derale Transmission Cooler part # D13501 being installed in a similar van as your 2003 Chrysler Town and Country. You would not need to cut any transmission lines to install this cooler. You would basically just use the lines that the vehicle currently uses for the factory cooler and route the fluid from that cooler to the Derale.
