• Recommended Transmission and Power Steering Coolers for 2019 Ford Explorer
  Yes, the general wisdom on supplementary fluid coolers for towing vehicles is that the transmission is top priority followed by the power steering system. The transmission cooler I recommend for your Explorer is the Derale Class III plate-fin cooler # D13503. This is because this cooler's 11 x 8-3/4-inch size allows it to very efficiently cool your transmission fluid a second time, after it is first cooled by the OEM cooler inside your radiator. The best install location is right in front...

• Transmission Cooler For A 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee With A 3 Liter Diesel
  I contacted Derale to verify that any transmission cooler will work on your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee as long as it will fit where you want to install it.

• Will a Transmission Cooler Affect Engine Temperature Towing With A 2016 Grand Caravan
  Transmission coolers should not impair the engine's ability to stay cool when operating. One point to note is that these coolers are much smaller than the radiator and allow plenty of air flow to pass both around and through to the engine. For transmission coolers, the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13611 is a fine choice. It's a radiator style design and the fluid is continually agitated to help dissipate heat. Include is a video review for more information.

• Larger Transmission Cooler Recommendation to Replace Small One Where Fluid Still Gets Hot
  The transmission cooler part # D13611 that you referenced is a pretty small cooler. Since you are towing on steeper grades a larger cooler would be your best option. If you can fit the part # D13503 instead of what you currently have this would be a much better option. This cooler measures 11" Wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep. Basically the larger the cooler the more efficient it will be at cooling the fluid. Since you already have the hard part done of installing a cooler all you would...

• 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,...

  With transmission coolers "size does matter..." Basically the bigger the cooler you can fit in front of the radiator the better it's going to cool your fluid.

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2008 GMC Yukon
  A transmission cooler is exactly what you need to keep the transmission fluid at an ideal temperature which is below 200 degrees. Ideally, you'll want to get the largest cooler that will fit into the available space. The best spot to install a cooler is directly behind the front grille, in front of the radiator and the a/c condenser. The Derale # D13504 would be ideal if you have enough room to accommodate its 11 inch wide by 12 inch tall size. The cooler would tap into the return line...

• 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...

• Bypassing OEM Radiator on 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
  The Derale transmission coolers we sell are intended as a supplemental cooler that is meant to augment the factory transmission cooler portion of the radiator, not replace it entirely. If you are experiencing the common problem with the radiator leaking causing the engine coolant to contaminate the transmission fluid, your best bet really would be to have the original radiator replaced. I did a Google search using the keywords Nissan Radiator Problem and found that Nissan has extended...

• Will Aftermarket Radiator Solve Leaking Transmission Cooler Problems in 2006 Nissan Xterra
  From what I can recall, the problem with the mid 2000's Nissan truck radiators was that the combined transmission cooler/radiator would develop a leak that allowed coolant to mix with the transmission fluid, which damaged the transmission. Installing an 'OEM quality' aftermarket radiator with the integrated transmission cooler is the recommended repair, which will solve the leakage problem. Over the years, we've gotten numerous questions about this from folks who just want to cap off...

• Comparing Different Types of Transmission Coolers for a 2006 Subaru Outback Wagon
  The reason you do not see any cooling capacity figures for a transmission cooler is because there are just too many variables at hand to give any sort of accurate estimates. These variables have to do with ambient temperature, mounting location, etc. That said, there is a way to compare the coolers and that is by their construction; tube-and-fin (least efficient), plate-and-fin (moderately efficient), stacked-plate (most effective). The Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2003 Acura MDX
  I would suggest the largest plate and fin transmission cooler that will fit on your vehicle to provide the most cooling.Transmission coolers are flow through devices so you can pretty much use any transmission cooler you want as long as it will fit in your vehicle. You cannot cool the transmission fluid too much so there is no worry of installing a cooler that is too large. The only precaution with a very large cooler is to let the engine warm a bit on bitterly cold days before taking...

  The Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13611 will work to cool down your transmission while towing your 3,600 lb. trailer. But, it would be borderline whether it was sufficient enough or not. You can not cool your transmission too much and for that reason I would recommend going up to the bigger Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13504.

• Aftermarket Transmission Cooler Installation for Mitsubishi Vehicles
  It would not surprise me if Mitsubushi OEM transmissions had a function that stopped the flow of transmission fluid out of the transmission when the transmission is cold. I do not believe that this option would be installed outside of the transmission, because there would need to be a bypass hose and valves in the transmission output and return lines, causing a complicated installation at the factory. The Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, item # D13611, does not have...

• Can Transmission Cooler be Installed on a Vehicle with Sealed Transmission
  Sealed transmissions make installing a transmission cooler a bit more interesting since there isn't an easy way to add or check fluid. There may not be a dipstick on your transmission, but there is drain and fill plug. You are going to have to use a lube pump to get the proper amount of fluid in the vehicle so honestly your best option is going to be to have a transmission shop do the install since they will have the equipment needed. Prefilling the cooler might get you pretty close...

  The Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/ NPT Inlets - Class I -Extra Efficient # D13611 is my recommendation.

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. I included a diagram to show the best location. You...

• Installing a 7-Way Connector and a Brake Controller on a 2011 Ford Escape XLT
  Yes, the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 and the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 will also fit your 2011 Ford Escape. If you already have a 4-Way then you won't need anything else, however if you don't have a 4-Way then you will need part # 118251 if you have the factory tow package or part # 118551 if you don't have the factory tow package. Attached is a sample installation video of the ETBC7 kit being installed on a 2011 Escape for you to reference. The brake controller being installed is the...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation and Installation on a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 4.7L
  The plate-fin transmission coolers are more efficient than the tube-fin transmission coolers. Both types of coolers operate the same, but the plate-fin coolers uses smaller plates to allow more fluid to contact the aluminum surface inside the cooler. More surface contact results in greater heat dissipation. I have attached two FAQ articles on transmission coolers for you to check out. When choosing a transmission cooler, we always recommend installing the largest transmission cooler...

• Weight Capacity and Effectiveness of Equalizer Weight Distribution System on a Loaded Tundra
  It sounds like you are using the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ37140ET with your 2014 Tundra. Whatever weight you have in the back of your truck will throw off the effectiveness of the weight distribution system. You should check the tag on the inside of your door to see what your trucks maximum capacity is and go off of that for how much payload you can carry. If your truck is level with your trailer then the weight distribution system is set up...

• 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...
