Derale Transmission Coolers - D15902

  • Transmission and Engine Cooler
  • With 11/32 Inch Hose Barb Inlets
  • Standard Mount
  • 17W x 12-1/2T x 3/4D Inch
  • Derale

17" Wide x 12-1/2" tall x 3/4" deep, tube-fin cooler improves your vehicle's overall performance by ensuring proper fluid temperatures for both its engine and transmission with one compact system.


Features:

  • Keeps both engine and transmission cool with just 1 system
    • Engine oil and transmission fluid flow through separate tubes inside the same core for effective, simultaneous cooling
  • Improves functioning and overall performance of transmission and engine
  • Extends life of both transmission and engine and prolongs period between necessary fluid changes
  • Cuts down on heat-related failures
  • Designed with copper tubing expanded into aluminum fins for maximum heat transfer
    • Copper is the best material for conducting the heat out of the fluid while aluminum is ideal for transferring and dissipating that heat
  • Protected from possible damage during installation by plastic fin guards and powder coat finish
  • Includes:
    • Universal thermostatic sandwich adapter to provide external oil lines
    • Multiple sleeve nuts to ensure proper thread size
    • High-temperature, OEM spec hose with stainless steel clamps
    • Nylon mounting rods with pads
    • Bendable, metal mounting brackets
    • Insta-dapt radiator adapter
    • All necessary hardware
  • Made in USA


Specs:

  • Dimensions: 17" wide x 12-1/2" tall x 3/4" deep
  • Inlets: 11/32" hose barb
  • Engine filter thread size: 3/4"-16, 13/16"-16, 18 mm x 1.5 mm, 20 mm x 1.5 mm and 22 mm x 1.5 mm
  • Hose lengths:
    • 1/2" Diameter x 10'
    • 11/32" Diameter x 4'
  • 1-Year warranty


Perhaps the simplest type of heat exchanger, the tube-fin effectively cools a variety of automotive systems. The concept is simple: Fluid cools as it travels through the core by transferring heat out to the fins. The fins then provide the surface area necessary for sufficient heat exchange to take place, allowing the heat pulled from the fluid to dissipate into the surrounding air. Add to that the unique turbulator technology - whereby fluids are agitated continuously to not only facilitate heat transfer, but also to prevent any undesirable drop in pressure - and you have an easy and effective cooling system.

Package was delivered on time. Installed it the next day. Didn't realise it's for oil and transmition. Just needed the oil cooler. Either way it's installed. Took a bit as I mounted in a different location than in front of radiator. Only did the oil. Already have a trany cooler. However I might loop into the other side for a trany and use the whole radiator. So far so good

Comments
1 year later and still going strong. It does make a difference but have t measured the temp. However, pulling a 32 foot travel trailer I do notice a difference when I turn the fan on

Without a video for my 2014 explorer and with limited written instructions I chose to find a repair shop that would do the installation. It cost me $360 to have the dual cooler installed. Most places won't consider third party parts to install and others that wanted to charge from $600 - $800 to install. Removing the front cowling, bumper, & headlights proved to be too big of a challenge without adequate instructions. Also following the installation I drove cross country pulling a trailer and I didn't trust my self with the work, and at near 70 years I no longer want to tackle such a job. Other than above I made it to California with out incident.
PS, it would have been helpful for an estimate of the additional engine oil and transmission fluid it would take to fill the new system.



by:

This is a good product and installation was fairly straight forward. The directions do not address the transmission connection to the cooler. If it did, someone would have realized a part was missing from the kit. If you are installing this cooler on a Dodge you will need a different connector than the one provided. Dodge uses a snap in, rather than screw in, connector for the transmission line. I only discovered this by watching a video online which actually gives the Derale part number for the connector (I don't remember what it is). I explained this to the customer service agent and he did not believe me nor would he send me one for free. Since I ordered this kit specifically for a Ram I feel this adaptor should have been included in the kit. Disappointed about that, otherwise it seems like a good kit. I haven't tested it yet since I am waiting for the adaptor.



by:

I have not had a chance to install this unit yet. From the looks of it though it is worth it. Install should be a breeze too. I purchased this for a 05 Dodge Caravan. It cam with all the different oil filter adapters color coded for the filter you use.

How was the install? Are you happy with it? Any things you wished you knew before you began the install?- thanks. - getting ready to do the same

I installed the etrailer derale transmission cooler on my 2012 Toyota Tacoma. Hauled home a 3500lb tractor 3000 miles up hilly terrain and had no problems at all. Works great.



by:

Easily installed to an 05 town and country. I think the 3/8 compression/ barbed fittings should be included in the kit though. Also do yourself a favor and make sure you get the hoses on the cooler before you tie it in place cause they go on HARD. Otherwise pretty simple. Installing for towing purposes. Took about 1 hour complete.

Tranny side had no problems. Oil side kept leaking and was eventually disconnected. Hose clamps for hoses need to be replaced with sealed units.

  • Locating Transmission Fluid Return Line on 1999 Acura TI

    Transmission coolers do an excellent job keeping the transmission fluid cool to prevent damage from happening, but if your transmission already has problems it won't fix the issue.

Once the problem is addressed I would then recommend installing a transmission cooler to prevent future problems as heat is the number one killer of transmissions. The part...

    The 4 metal plates are bendable mounting brackets. You can use them if you want or the straps to mount the cooler core. I would not mount it using the screws and brackets to any part of the radiator. They are meant to attach to other structural components of the vehicle if you can't attach the cooler to the radiator using the straps. The fitting is the Insta-dapt fitting used for the transmission cooler portion of the installation. It adapts the transmission line so you can connect the...

The one that is cooler is the return line. It may sound a little too easy but it works.

  • Tips for Putting a Hose on the Hose Barbs on a Derale Combination Transmission and Oil Cooler
    In order to work the hose onto the inlet barbs in the Derale Combination Transmission and Engine Oil Cooler, # D15902, it helps if you use a little transmission fluid (if it is the transmission line) or oil (if it is the oil line) around the inside of the hose and on the inlet.
