Question:
I want to add a stacked cooler to my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins diesel with auto matic transmission. What do you reccommend. I am told another supplier installs a stacked 12X12X1.5 in place of the old one.

Expert Reply:
Automatic transmission coolers are not vehicle specific so you can install any one that will fit in the available space in the engine compartment. Derale cooler, # D13402, measures 13 inches wide by 6-7/16 inches tall and 2 inches deep. Since transmission fluid cannot be overcooled, it is recommended to add the cooler in line with the factory cooler and not sue it as a replacement. The flow will go from the transmission, to the factory cooler, then to the new cooler, and then back to the transmission. I have included some links on transmission coolers for you to view.
