Question:

I have a 2012 F150 XL 3.7 liter non turbo. Looking for a trans cooler. I think my tow capacity is 5500 lbs. I have no cooler now. I GVWR 6900 lbs. Having a problem finding a cooler with 1/2 fittings. I am 99 sure I have 1/2 cooler lines. Thanks Pat

Hey Pat,

So because you have 1/2" fittings on your F-150, all you'd need are adapters and you're set. So for the transmission cooler go with one that is large to get you the most cooling, which is the 11" wide x 7-1/4" tall x 7/8" deep Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13502.

Then what you will need to add are the adapters I mentioned, the 1/2" Inverted flare Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford and Lincoln # D13024.

Hey Pat, how did the Derale cooler and adapter fittings work out on your F-150? Your results could really help others trying to match fittings for the same setup.
