1983 GMC C/K Series Pickup - Derale Atomic-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit w/ Fan, -6 AN Inlets - Class V

  • Remote Cooler
  • With - 6 AN Inlets
  • 12-3/4W x 9-3/8T x 4-5/16D Inch
  • Derale
  • Remote Mount

12-3/4" Wide x 9-3/8" tall x 4-5/16" deep, remote cooler assembly features a high-efficiency, plate-and-fin heat-exchanger core with 500-CFM tornado fan for maximum airflow, ensuring optimum performance for your automatic transmission.


Features:

  • Improves performance and overall functioning of transmission
  • Has highly efficient, plate-fin cooler core for optimum heat transfer and minimum pressure drop
  • Offers superior airflow with 500-CFM, reversible tornado fan
  • Mounts anywhere with aluminum mounting brackets
  • Includes:
    • Complete cooler assembly
    • Aluminum AN fittings
    • Brass hose-barb adapters
    • 10' OEM spec hose with stainless steel clamps
    • Additional compression fittings
    • 180-Degree, in-line thermostat for power-saving fan shut-off
    • Insta-dapt radiator adapter
    • All necessary mounting hardware
  • Made in USA


Specs:

  • Inlets: -6 AN
  • Adapters: -6 AN x 3/8" hose barb
  • Overall dimensions: 12-3/4" wide x 9-3/8" tall x 4-5/16" deep
  • Distance between inlets: 8-9/16"
  • Mounting dimensions: 4" tall x 11-5/8" 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.


With a fan-mounted heat exchanger unit, you can be sure that there will always be optimum airflow for your engine oil cooler no matter where your cooler is mounted or what sort of environment you are traveling through. Couple that with the highly efficient, plate-fin core - wherein finned chambers provide increased surface area, allowing superior heat transfer with minimum pressure drop - and you have a truly effective heat-exchange system.

This system is ideal for late-model, electronic overdrive transmissions in which ensuring proper cooling and pressure maintenance is of the utmost importance.

The fan is nice, the brass compression barbed fittings did not work. They leaked from both threads. I paid for fancy with a quickness 2 day shipping, took 5 days. I’m just glad I wasn’t too much in a hurry to cool my dads transmission for his road trip.



by:

Everything was included to install the cooler and instruction sheet is useful. Hardest issue is where to mount. No leaks so far. Should help trans temps while towing.

Great product, awesome price and very easy to install

  • Will a Remote Transmission Cooler Fit a 2005 Ford F-250 with 5.4 Liter
    The great thing about the Derale remote transmission cooler # D13950 is that you can mount it where ever you have space. Since it has its own fan it does not have to be placed out in front of the motor. This will allow you to position it in the place with the most room and that does include areas outside of the engine compartment! The only stipulation you will want to follow is not to place it too low or to where the fan or fins are facing the ground because something could bounce up from...

  • How to Determine Which is the Return Line on the Factory Transmission Cooler of 2006 Chevy Equinox
    I can tell you an easy way to figure out which line is the return line and which is the feed line on the transmission cooler of your 2006 Chevy Equinox. When your car is cold go out and start it up and put it in drive for 10 seconds. Now put it back in park and shut it off. Go out and feel both coolant lines, the cooler of the two is the return line. The installers use this trick here all the time. I attached a couple FAQ articles on transmission coolers for you to check out also.

  • Can I Replace Factory Cooler With Derale Transmission Cooler on 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan
    It is possible to install the transmission cooler like Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets part # D13502 to bypass the factory cooler on the 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan however it is usually not recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. If you decide to bypass the factory cooler, you would want to go with the largest aftermarket cooler possible that will fit to get efficient cooling. The largest cooler that fit's is the best option because after market coolers...

  • Bypassing Factory Transmission Cooler on a 2006 Ford F-250 with 5.4 Liter
    If the chamber walls inside the radiator that separate the transmission cooling portion with the coolant portion have cracked, ruptured, or are otherwise leaking then you would have to either replace the radiator or plug up the transmission fluid inlet and outlet ports on the radiator and instead use a supplemental cooler as the main cooler. In this situation I recommend a remote cooler such as # D13950 that will have its own fan. That way you are ensured to get the optimum amount of cooling...

  • Will the Derale Atomic-Cool Transmission Cooler Fit on a 2009 Silverado 1500 Z71 4WD
    The ideal operating temperature for transmission fluid should remain between 160 and 200 degrees. If your transmission fluid was reaching 195 degrees when towing your fifth wheel trailer, it would be a good idea to either upgrade your factory added cooler or add an additional transmission cooler because this temperature could increase if you are towing on in hot weather or through hills where the engine and transmission will be working harder than on flat ground. Installing a remote mount...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Transmission Cooler on a 2004 Buick Rainier With 3600 Stall Converter
    My research shows that you will need to add the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting, # D13035, to the Derale Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13504, that you selected, to complete the installation on your 5.3 liter V8 GM motor. This cooler would work fine to help cool the transmission for towing. It sounds as if you are building a street strip application, with a 3600 stall converter, so I would recommend going with a Derale Atomic-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit, item # D13950. This...

  • Where is the Best Place to Install a Remote Transmission Cooler on a 2017 Nissan Armada
    As far as functionality there isn't one place that is really better than another for the Derale Atomic-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit # D13950 on a 2017 Nissan Armada. Basically anywhere there is space for it will be a good location. On modern vehicles space in the engine compartment can be at a premium though so you will want to check ahead of time prior to installing a cooler. This cooler is 12-3/4" wide x 9-3/8" tall x 4-5/16" deep overall. The width and height probably won't be...

  • Comparing Plate Fin Oil Cooler With Fan Remote Cooler For a 2011 Ford F-150 With 3.5L EcoBoost
    Typically a Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13503 is all you are going to need to help keep your transmission cool when towing. A cooler with fan like the Derale Atomic-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler # D13950 is typically a better option if you are only towing in areas where you constantly deal with stop and go traffic. I would not worry about having braided lines as even the factory hoses on your 2011 Ford F-150 are not braided. You should also consider adding a...

  • Will Derale Atomic-Cool Transmission Cooler Work for 1969 Chevrolet Camaro 5.7L
    The # D13950 Derale Atomic-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit w/ Fan can be used in your 1969 Camaro with 5.7L Engine. I reached out to Derale and they confirmed this. This cooler is designed to be mounted anywhere. According to the installation manual, the purpose is to be able to mount the cooler away from the front of the vehicle therefore not blocking airflow to the radiator/condenser. This cooler can be mounted anywhere space permits. Always keep in mind that the cooler still needs...

  • Transmission Cooler with Fan Recommendation for 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500
    The Derale Atomic Remote Cooler part # D13950 would be a really great option for a very efficient cooler that comes with a fan. It's a very efficient cooler style and size plus has a fan that can move 500 CFM so it will do a great job keeping your transmission fluid cool which will prolong the life of it. It also comes with all needed hardware to install.

  • Best Transmission Cooler for Off-Roading in a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser in Year-Round Warm Climate
    The Class rating applied to transmission coolers is to help simplify choosing a cooler for a vehicle. Basically you would think about it in terms of a hitch class rating. So for example if your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser has a Class III hitch then a transmission cooler shown as a Class III is a good match. But ultimately you can use any cooler that fits in the intended mounting location. Derale transmission cooler # D13503 is a very popular option. It is a Class III but if you want something...

  • BTU Rating of Detale D13950 Atomic-Cool Remote Mount Transmission Cooler
    According to Derale, their # D13950 Atomic-Cool Remote Mount Transmission Cooler offers a 22,000 BTU/Hour Cooling Rating and would be a minimally adequate choice for a vehicle used on a drag strip, I'd recommend bumping up to a 46K unit such as the Derale Hyper-Cool # D15960. Drag racing is extremely hard on a transmission, it would make good sense to make the small investment to upgrade to the higher capacity cooler.

  • Will Adding a Transmission Cooler to 2008 Jeep Liberty Help Reduce Heat While Towing
    Yes. Since your 2008 Jeep Liberty does not have the towing package that usually adds a transmission cooler to your setup, installing the Derale Atomic-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit # D13950 will help keep your transmission from overheating. Since this unit has a powered fan unit, you can mount it anywhere inside your engine compartment and not have to worry about getting enough air flow. I've linked the installation instructions for this cooler to this answer that you might want...

    The Derale Atomic-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit w/ Fan # D13950 that you referenced should work well for you. It will provide you with excellent airflow in traffic and would not impede airflow at highway speeds. This fan and cooler combination was designed to do exactly what you are trying to do so it would work very well for you. However, I would recommend you keep your factory cooler and run this cooler as a supplemental cooler. You would want to route the transmission fluid first...

  • Transmission Cooler and Install Location for 2008 GMC Yukon Denali
    You will want to install a supplemental transmission cooler on the return line of your correct transmission cooler. This means the fluid first goes into the factory cooler and then goes into the supplemental cooler before going back to the transmission. For a cooler for your 2008 GMC Yukon the Derale part # D13504 would be a really great option that's larger in size and a very efficient style. As long as you install this out in front of your current radiator/condenser setup this will work...

  • Transmission Cooler for a 2017 Hyundai Tucson
    Most cars, light trucks, and SUV's nowadays have either 3/8" or 11/32" transmission lines. I was not able to find the exact size transmission line for your 2017 Hyundai Tucson but the Derale Atomic-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit part # D13950 comes with adapter fittings that will work with 5/16", 3/8", and 11/32" transmission lines. As long as you have 12-3/4" wide x 9-3/8" tall x 4-5/16" deep of space to mount this cooler anywhere on the vehicle, then it will work well for you.

  • Will Derale Atomic Cool Remote Coolers # D13950 Block Air Flow to Radiator Significantly
    A transmission cooler mounted out in front of the radiator would impede the air flow in a small amount but what we've found is that at higher speeds like that there's enough air flowing through the coolers that the effect is very minimal and nearly all the time not noticeable.

    As long as you have the available space in the area where you want to install the cooler, you can certainly use the # D13950 Atomic Cool Transmission Cooler on your 2012 Yukon. Keeping the transmission cool when you're moving in stop-and-go traffic is exactly what this particular cooler is designed for. The # D13035 you already have is the recommended fitting. You'll want to install the cooler in the return line heading back to the transmission, whether that line's coming from the radiator...

  • Remote Mounted Transmission Cooler for 2002 Ford F250 with 7.3L Diesel
    If you do not have the necessary space directly behind the grille, a remote mount cooler with a fan would be your best bet for maximum cooling efficiency. A stacked plate cooler/ fan combo like part # D13950 offers a good balance between performance and relatively small size. You will want to mount the cooler in a protected location that has sufficient air flow to allow the fan to push air through the cooler. Ideally, you want to see your transmission cooler temperature below 200 degrees. For...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for Jeep Grand Cherokee that Does Low Speed Off-Roading
    I would highly recommend a transmission cooler for your 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Since you will be doing low-speed off-roading I would recommend a kit that comes with a fan so that you can ensure the cooler gets air-flow like the Derale Atomic-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler # D13950. This comes with everything needed to install including lines and fittings but to make installing the cooler easier you would want the radiator adapter part # D13034 to prevent you from having to go through...

The core on this cooler has 6 AN fittings. This cooler does not come with a thermostat but one can be added using # D13021. You will also need a mounting kit such as # D13002, hose clamps such as # D13008, and hose # D13017. The other option is a remote cooler that comes with these...

  • Recommended Supplementary Transmission Cooler for 2004 Dodge Dakota
    Transmission fluid temperature can rise quickly when towing, especially in warmer weather and when towing on uphill grades which naturally mean slower speeds and reduced air flow to your Dakota's cooling system. Supplementary coolers are a wise addition to a towing vehicle, and so too is keeping your transmission fluid fresh as you have done. Standard passive coolers like Derale # D13503 (along with hose fitting kit # D13030) can install in front of your AC condenser to give you more heat-radiating...

    The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, item # D13503, will provide extra cooling to help keep your transmission at normal temperatures when towing. Whether or not any cooler will provide enough cooling depends on many factors specifically related to your vehicle and trailer setup.
