Quickly and easily install your new transmission cooler without having to go through the hassle of cutting and flaring lines. Fittings are designed to work specifically with your vehicle's radiator.After almost all parts stores in my city had a number for this part, however all of them stated it was discontinued. I ordered this part, it came fairly quickly. Even more ironic was it had several stickers on the packag with ALL of the same part numbers that autozone, oreilies, advance auto had in their systems. E-trailer wins. Easy to install by just bending the trans line 38 degrees out. 30 minutes install tops. Beats cutting hoses. 5.2L , 1999 Durango 9/16 fittings.
Ordering was easy, shipping was really fast. The products are all high quality!
You can stop looking this is the place to order trailer parts.
The cooler installation went well. Instructions were accurate and helpful. The radiator adaptor did not fit. I assume the reason being my truck is the r/t version (bigger radiator)... worked around that issue with a tube cutter. unit has reduced tranny temp significantly. A must for the mopar enthusiast.

This attachment did not fit my 2001 dodge dakota sport V6 version either. The threads are wrong. Ill need to go and buy new hose to get it to work with the old connectors.
Parts are great quality but found when I got them, they were incorrect for my 2005 Dodge Dakota. Wasnt an Etrailer issue. Seems somewhere in the 2005 model year they changed the transmission line connections. Derale was great when I called them the fittings not working. They gave me some other options for installing the cooler.
Very disappointed. I waited over three weeks for these fitting to arrive only to find out that they don't fit my radiator. I've got a 2005 Dodge Dakota and these fittings were recommended for my vehicle by etrailer website to make the job simple and avoiding cutting the tubing or using a flaring tool. The fittings look good and I'm sure they would work on some other vehicle though, but it's too bad there wasn't a warning that it doesn't fit all 2005 Dakotas, or I would have taken it apart before ordering.
Bought to cool 42RLE trans on dakota 2005. Did great job of cooling. Big improvement on transmission shifting. Previously, I had alot of shuddering, from overheating. Did not need special fitting. Used spring clamps instead of hose clamps. Just cut existing tube and slide hose on. Needed extra hose though. Great improvement, worth the money.
Great service by etrailer, fast delivery, nice web catalog. I have done business before with the company, will be back again.

Well the part performed great. However the oil cooler it was attached to died a horrible death, over 78 miles from the nearest parts store in the UP of Michigan. Thanks to a gracious NAPA store in newberry, mi, I was able to get a bigger oil cooler installed in their parking lot and saved my UP vacation last year. Your part still performs flawlessly.
