with these fittings and transmission oil cooler on my 2000 Ford F350 superduty powerstroke diesel has lowered my temps by 15 degrees.
Thanks

I have a 99 Ford F250 4WD 7.3 diesel with 191,000 miles. I am on my 4th transmission. I pull a horse trailer once a year to Colorado or Wyoming from E Texas on an elk hunt. Other than that, maybe a camper or horse trailer hauled to my deer lease 100 miles away. I finally added a temp gauge to the last one. Now I was seeing that my tranny was running around 205 just pulling my trailers up a small grade around my county. Outside temp around 90. I replaced the original Ford cooler with one from Ford. Same results. I did research on my own and stumbled on to Etrailer.com and articles of the Derale 8000. I had this put on by my radiator man. He wanted to mount it above the Ford cooler to get max airflow. He had to fabricate some brackets and use some other hose connectors as the ones furnished didn't fit right. Not a problem for me as this thing has finally solved my problems. I ran the same route with my horses loaded in the trailer(est 6000# total wt). The temp gauge registered 170 to 175. That is a drop of 30 to 35 degrees. I now feel confident when I go to Colorado in a few weeks that I won't be broke down on side of road with overheated tranny and buying another tranny when I return. Etrailer shipped product very fast. I am overly happy regardless of it not just fitting perfect.

I installed the Derale D13503 in series with my existing factory installed auxillary cooler for added protection on my Ford Explorer Sport Trac. With the Sport Trac tranny having the reputation for overheating failure, I took the cooling up a notch! I tow a 7X14 enclosed v-nosed trailer, and now I am protected! It was a very easy install, and the included hardware made it pain-free :-)



by:

As a returning coustomer I can say all my dealings with atrailer have been great.
Great product, price, shipping and the very best coustomer service.
Product fit perfect and preformed as expected.
Will be back in the future when I need products etrailer sells
Thanks

Does not work on 99 F250 7.3L. The flare sides of the fittings are to long and deep to use with the existing cooler and fittings.

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 1999 Ford F-150 with 5.4 liter V8
    For towing a trailer like what you mentioned with a 1999 Ford F-150 a supplemental transmission cooler would be a great option that we would highly recommend. Most likely your truck came with a factory cooler but typically they do not do a very good job at all. Especially around the age of your truck. The newer vehicles have better coolers but the older ones are adequate at best for light duty applications. I'd recommend the part # D13503 as this is a very popular and efficient cooler...

  • Transmission Cooler For 2007 Ford F150
    You can indeed install a cooler like the # D52506 in place of the existing factory cooler, but you might consider installing it inline between the radiator and transmission as outlined in the help article I've provided. This will provide additional cooling which will work great because unless you live in a very cold climate, you really can't over cool a transmission. You'll need one of two fittings. Use kit # D13024 for vehicles with 1/2"-20 thread on trans line fitting, or use kit # D13025...

  • Transmission Cooler for 2000 Ford F-250 Towing Heavy 5th Wheel Trailer
    Any fluid leaking from a vehicle is a warning. Often this indicates excessive temperatures in your transmission. If your transmission is stressed to the point of leaking fluid this means that somewhere either a seal, hose or other fitting is being pushed past its limit. My first suggestion is that you try to find that leakage point so you can check whether you have a bad seal or fitting that can be replaced. Driving your truck, let alone towing a trailer with it, with an inadequate trans...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2009 Ford F-150 STX 4.6L
    We have a few excellent transmission coolers that would be great additions to your 2009 Ford F-150 STX, but they will each be a little larger than your factory cooler and rightfully so since you will be towing a 7,000 lbs trailer. My best recommendation is the Derale Stacked-Plate Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13402. The stacked-plate coolers are the most efficient tranny coolers on out there, so you can rest assured that it will be doing the most to keep your transmission fluid cool when...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 1996 Ford Aerostar
    Transmission coolers are pretty universal in application. The best way to pick one out would be to measure the space you have in front of your radiator and pick out the biggest cooler that would fit there. The Derale Transmission Cooler part # D13502 would be an excellent choice if you had the clearance for it. It measures 11W x 7-1/4T x 7/8D Inch. To make installation easier you would also want the # D13014 and # D13025 fittings.

  • Is Larger Transmission Pan Needed if Installing Supplemental Transmission Cooler on 2002 Ford F-350
    No, you will not have to install a larger transmission pan if you added a supplemental transmission cooler though you may need to add more transmission fluid. This is because the core of the new cooler and the hose to add additional capacity. But a larger pan is not needed.

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2007 Ford F-150 with V6 Engine
    The Derale cooler part # D13503 is a fit for your 2007 Ford F-150. This cooler is very universal in what it can fit and your Ford truck would work well with it. For the quick install fittings the part # D13025 would be what you need if you have 5/8"-1/8 lines or part # D13024 for 1/2-20 fittings.

  • Comparing the Derale 7000 and 8000 Series Coolers for a 2000 F-250 with the 7.3L V8 Diesel Engine
    The Derale Series 7000 Transmission Cooler Kits like part # D13105 has a tube-fin design whereas the Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler Kits like part # D13503 has a plate-fin design. The plate-fin design is superior to the tube-fin design in that it has internal turbulators to help the oil cool faster and prevent pressure loss. For your 2000 Ford F-250 with the 7.3L V8 Diesel Engine, I recommend using the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit part # D13504 which is...

  • How to Determine Fit of Oil Cooler for 1998 Ford F-150
    When it comes to transmission coolers they are not a vehicle-specific fit so any cooler, including the Derale 25-Row, High-Performance, Stacked-Plate Cooler # D52506, will fit depending on how much space you have in your 1998 Ford F-150; this one is 13" Wide x 9-3/16" tall x 2" deep. If you take a look at the linked help article on transmission coolers you can see exactly how they fit. A stacked-plate cooler is a great, heavy-duty option but if the 2" depth is too much another option is...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2006 ford F150 5.4 with the Tow Package
    You are on the right track, installing a supplemental transmission cooler to go along with the factory cooler to maximize the cooling of the transmission fluid is a great idea to prolong the life of your transmission. The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13504 would work great. To make installation easier on your 2006 Ford F-150 you would also want the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings # D13025. This will thread into the radiator and on the outlet line to provide...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2004 Ford F-150 with 5.4 liter V8
    For your 2004 Ford F-150 with a 5.4 liter engine the Derale transmission cooler part # D13503 would be a great option. You'd also need the fittings part # D13024 and # D13025 and you'd be set in that regard as well.

  • Is Derale Radiator Adapter Fitting # D13025 Needed To Install Transmission Cooler on 1999 Ford F-250
    You will need the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury, # D13025, which will allow you to connect to the return line of the factory transmission cooler. Part # D13025 allows you to connect to transmission return line without flaring the line when installing on your 1999 Ford F-250 Powerstroke. Installing the cooler behind the front grille, but in front of the radiator will provide the greatest cooling efficiency. You will want to measure a mounting location for...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler For a 1999 Ford F-150 With 4.6L V8
    I recommend using the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13504 as it is one of our larger transmission coolers and will help to keep your transmission temps cooler. You will need the Adapter Fittings # D13024 and # D13025 to tie into your transmission fluid cooling lines. Unfortunately, we do not have any installation videos on a vehicle similar to your 1999 Ford F-150 at this time.

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler For 3/8 Inch Hoses on 2002 Ford Excursion 6.8L
    For your 2002 Ford Excursion 6.8, I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets # D13503. This cooler has turbulators inside tubes for superior heat transfer. The included mounts attach the cooler to one of your other heat exchangers, but some people prefer to create a fixed mount using a mounting kit like # D13002. I recommend the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury # D13025 to easily install your new transmission cooler...

  • Weight Distribution and Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2007 Mercury Mountaineer
    You'd want to check with a Ford dealer. I wasn't able to get a specific towing capacity for your vehicle but it looks like the capacity range is between 3,500 and 6,930 lbs. If your capacity is good with the weight of your trailer the weight distribution system you'd want is the Pro Series part # PS49582 which has a tongue weight range of 550 to 750 like what your trailer has. Then for a transmission cooler you'd want the # D13503 with the fitting adapter part # D13025. This is a very...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2011 Ford Escape
    I found the expert answer you referenced where Jeff said to check the owners manual for restrictions on towing. He meant that you should check to make sure your vehicle is rated for towing the trailer you are planning on towing from a weight capacity point of view. There would be no restrictions on installing a transmission cooler aside from the available space on your vehicle. You would want the to route the transmission fluid from your factory cooler in your radiator to the aftermarket...

  • Recommend Transmission Cooler for 2004 Ford Explorer
    For your 2004 Ford Explorer the best way to pick out a transmission cooler is to go with the largest one you can fit in front of your radiator. A very popular option is the part # D13503 which measures 11" Wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep. You will want to use the fitting part # D13025 to make installing the cooler a bit easier. You will want to run the fluid through your factory cooler and then to the supplemental cooler to maximize the cooling effect.

  • Determining Towing Capacity of 2014 Ford F-150 and Upgrade Options to Improve Performance
    Subtracting the CGVW (Gross Combined Vehicle Weight) from the GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) is indeed the most accurate way to determine a particular vehicle's true towing capacity. Because there are so many potential variables as to what was actually added to the truck at the factory, this is the ideal method. With that being said I wasn't able to find any specifics on if or by how much not having the factory tow package would decrease the towing capacity of your F-150. It's also important...

  • Do Transmission Coolers Install the Same Way on Every Vehicle
    Transmission cooler installations are not vehicle specific because transmission coolers themselves are not vehicle specific so they general way they install will be the same. What is different is where you may need to mount the cooler, whether or not you will have to cut and flare lines, and what you might need to move out of the way to install the cooler in the most efficient place. All of these things are different from vehicle to vehicle. The path of the transmission fluid should be...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler for 1999 Ford F-350 with 7.3L V8 Engine
    Thank you for the photo of your sturdy F-350 that is in need of a little TLC in the form of a transmission cooler to help it when pulling those heavy loads. For your heavy-duty application you'll want a high-efficiency cooler that will give your transmission the most temperature reduction possible. This means using the largest Class IV cooler that you can fit in the area in front of the radiator and A/C condenser (if present). The cooler I recommend is the Derale # D13105 that you referenced....

  • How Difficult is it to Install a Transmission Cooler on a 2012 Ford F-150
    Transmission coolers are fairly simple to install requiring just a bit of mechanical aptitude and some basic tools. If I had to rate the process on a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being easy and 10 being hard, I would have to say about a 5. I have attached an install video for you. The process to install the cooler will not be the same as the attached video for your truck but very similar as the process will only differ slightly. As long as you have 11" wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep of space...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2007 Ford F150
    The answer to your question is going to depend on how much free real estate you have on the front of the radiator right behind the truck's grille, which is the place where you'll want to install it. Unless you live where it gets and stays below 0°F for most of the winter, you really can't overcool a transmission, so you could go as big as the available space allows (more on that later). If you have 11 x 12 inches of space available, I'd recommend the # D13504 . You'll also need some transmission...

This will do a great job keeping your transmission fluid temps down but you'll also want the fitting adapter part # D13025 as well to help make the install a bit easier.
