Adding Transmission Cooler to 2012 Ford F-150 With EcoBoost
Updated 09/04/2020 | Published 09/01/2017
Question:
I have a F150 ecoboost 2012 pickup. I would like to replace the current factory cooler with a larger one to cool the transmission when I pull a camper.

Expert Reply:
Instead of replacing your factory cooler, you can add a supplemental cooler to improve the performance of your 2012 Ford F-150's transmission. The cooler I recommend for you is the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13503. This cooler will extend the life of your F-150's transmission and improve its performance as you pull a camper.
I've attached links to a video review and install of this cooler for you to take a look at.

I have same issue...2013 Ford F-150 Ecoboost with max tow package. Engine heats up a little but not bad...it is the transmission that gets more worrisome towing in the mountains. I have hit 230 degrees on transmission temp but it often stays around 220. Does this fit my truck? Can you send me the installation links? I like the idea of adding a second cooler rather than replacing the factory one.
