Question:

Good Afternoon, I have a 2008 Toyota Tundra 4x4 4.7L V8 crew cab and I would like to purchase and install myself a tranny and oil cooling combo kit, is there such a thing? Also, is it an easy install for a DIYer and does it come with directions? I also need to purchase Rear Suspension enhancment and was wondering if the Timbern Rear Susp. will work and the ease of installing it myself? I will be hauling a TT weighing 5800lbs. Thank you,

We do sell combination oil/transmission coolers. Check out the Derale Combination Transmission and Engine Oil Cooler # D15902. This is a single unit that has two sections, one for cooling transmission fluid and the other for cooling engine oil.

I did some checking and this cooler does come with a fitting that is compatible with the oil filter on your 2008 Toyota Tundra so it should work very well for you.

The kit does come with generic installation instructions that will detail how to install everything but they will not be specific to your vehicle.

I attached a couple FAQ articles on fluid coolers for you to check out also.

For rear suspension enhancement the Timbren systems are excellent choices. They provide an additional progressive spring that will help your suspension when loaded but will not affect your ride when unloaded. The correct part number you would need is # TTORTUN4.

You should note that using an enhancement system such as this does not increase your towing capacities.
