You might need a more efficient transmission cooler for optimum cooling on your 2007 Chrysler Aspen. Stacked plate coolers are the most efficient, such as # D52506. If the cooler you have now is an aftermarket external cooler then you likely won't need additional parts to run the lines to and from it but you will need hose barb fittings that can mate up with the cooler, # D98200. Or you could get a kit, # D13403, which has a smaller core but it is still Class V rated.
