  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder to Prolong Transmission Life

When picking out a transmission cooler the best way to do it is to measure the distance in front of the radiator and pick the largest cooler that will fit the area. I attached an install...

  • Is Supplemental Transmission Cooler Really Needed for 2007 Grand Caravan SXT with Factory Cooler
  • Nearly all vehicles that benefit from a supplemental transmission cooler have a factory transmission cooler built into the radiator like what your 2007 Grand Caravan SXT has. Since the factory cooler is connected to the radiator that means the heat from the coolant flowing through the radiator is going to keep the factory transmission cooler warmer than ideal. In nearly every situation a supplemental transmission cooler will give the transmission of any vehicle a longer life since heat...

  • Derale Transmission Cooler Recommendations for a 2005 Toyota Sienna

I would recommend you install a transmission cooler such as the Transmission Cooler # D13501 that you referenced on your 2005 Toyota Sienna.

  • Is the Factory Transmission Cooler Good Enough for Towing
  • The factory transmission cooler on just about any vehicle is not really designed for towing applications. Since transmission fluid cannot be over-cooled, I do recommend adding a supplemental transmission cooler especially when towing. Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, but some vehicles may need a special fitting for installation. I would need to know the year, make, and model of the vehicle to determine if it needs anything special. The most popular cooler is the Derale...

  • Where Does Supplemental Transmission Cooler Install on Vehicle
  • You would want to route the Derale cooler after the factory cooler. By that, I mean you would want to run the transmission coolant line from the transmission, to the factory cooler, then to the # D13503, and finally back to the transmission cooler. Routing the coolers in that order is crucial, if you were to run the cooler before the factory cooler you would effectively be cooling the fluid and then reheating it as it would go through the factory cooler, which will be the same temperature...

  • Derale Pan Cooler # D14207 Recommendation For 2004 Chevrolet Silverado With Allison Transmission
  • I have done some research on your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD with the diesel engine and the Allison transmission. Due to the size of the coolant lines on your transmission, installation of an in-line transmission cooler would restrict the flow of fluid needed for the transmission. This restriction in fluid could result in higher transmission temperatures and result in damage to the transmission. I would recommend the Derale Transmission Pan Cooler, part # D14207, if you have the 4L80E...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2019 Ram 3500 with 6.7L Diesel Engine
  • The best transmission cooler for your 2019 Ram 3500 with a 6.7L Diesel Engine is the Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler # D13504 because it is the most efficient cooler available for your Ram 3500. This transmission cooler is a plate-and-fin cooler, which means it uses smaller plates that cover more area than other coolers in order to agitate transmission fluid. Because you cannot overcool fluids, the rule of thumb with transmission coolers is you want the largest one that will fit,...

  • Secondary Transmission Cooler For A 2000 Honda Accord V6 Needed
  • The best way to select the correct transmission cooler is by determining where there is enough space to mount it. The attached diagram shows the best three positions to mount the transmission cooler in order. Transmission coolers are more efficient when they receive maximum air flow. The "A" transmission cooler location in the diagram is 100% efficient so a larger transmission cooler is not needed to compensate for the loss of cooling power. My recommendation is the Derale Dyno-Cool...

  • Is the Factory Transmission Cooler on a 2014 Ford Expedition Good for Towing
  • There will more than likely be some sort of transmission cooler on most modern vehicles for the exception of those equipped with a manual/standard transmission. I do not believe the manual transmission was an option on a 2014 Ford Expedition therefore it is safe to say that your vehicle is equipped with some sort of transmission cooler. However, most of the time the transmission coolers on these vehicles except for heavy duty trucks are suited for everyday driving but not necessarily frequent...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation and Installation on a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 4.7L
  • The plate-fin transmission coolers are more efficient than the tube-fin transmission coolers. Both types of coolers operate the same, but the plate-fin coolers uses smaller plates to allow more fluid to contact the aluminum surface inside the cooler. More surface contact results in greater heat dissipation. I have attached two FAQ articles on transmission coolers for you to check out. When choosing a transmission cooler, we always recommend installing the largest transmission cooler...

  • Recommendation for Transmission Cooler on 2008 Nissan Altima with CVT Transmission
  • If the CVT transmission on your 2008 Nissan Altima has cooling lines that run from the transmission to the radiator, you can install a transmission cooler. If it does not have these lines running, then an after-market transmission cooler is not recommended. The concern centers around the fact that any changes to the system from a cooler installation will affect the fluid pressure, which will in turn affect shifting performance. If you are unsure, I recommend checking with a local Nissan...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendations for a 2002 F-350 with the 7.3L Diesel
  • Transmission fluid should run below 200 degrees Fahrenheit. At 240 degrees you definitely need to make some sort of change to reduce the temperature. I would first recommend having the transmission checked by a qualified automotive technician to be sure it is performing properly. This will assure you that no damage has been caused to the transmission and you will not be stranded. Installing a transmission cooler will not reverse any damage that may have already been caused. If you find...
