• Recommended Transmission Cooler and Parts Needed for Installation on 2011 GMC Sierra
  For your 2011 GMC Sierra I recommend using a Derale 10,000 Series Stacked-Plate Cooler with -10 AN Fittings, like # D52510. I spoke with my contact at Derale and he said these coolers are popular among Allison transmission owners. When choosing a transmission cooler, the largest cooler that will fit in the space available in your engine compartment is typically the best. Generally speaking, the larger the cooler the better the cooler performance. A stacked-plate cooler is the most efficient...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse
  For your 2011 Chevrolet Traverse, I would recommend installing the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler, # D13503. The main difference between this transmission cooler and # D13303 is the design. The plate-fin design is more efficient that the tube-fin design because they force fluid between much smaller plates that agitate the fluid. The fluid leaving the plate-fin style is cooler because the smaller, flatter plates allow more fluid to contact the aluminum surface inside the...

• How to Tap into Transmission Fluid Return Line on a 2012 Ford Expedition for a Transmission Cooler
  The line that you will need to tap into is the transmission fluid return line. The easiest way to determine the return line on your 2012 Ford Expedition transmission is to start the truck, shift into drive but do not go anywhere. After about 15 seconds or so put the truck back in park and apply the emergency brake. Turn off the truck. Out of the 2 hoses attached to the transmission, one should be warmer than the other. The one that is cooler is the return line. You can use radiator adapter...

• Will Derale # D13503 Transmission Cooler Work on 2007 a Toyota Highlander w/ 3.3L Engine
  The Derale # D13503 transmission cooler isn't a vehicle specific item, so it would work just fine on your Highlander. The transmission cooler would install directly behind the grille, in front of the AC condenser and radiator, for maximum airflow. The cooler would tap into the transmission return line from the radiator to the transmission, the fitting you need will depend on the diameter of the transmission line. For a 5/16 diameter line, use the # D13031 fitting or the # D13032 for a 3/8...

This transmission cooler is rated for up to 6,000 lbs and the ideal installation location is in front of the AC condenser or radiator. The installation process could take some time for someone who does not have experience installing aftermarket coolers in vehicles. For those who are mechanically inclined,...

• Recommended Derale Transmission Cooler for 2005 Chevy Venture Towing 1700 lb Tent Trailer
  As a first step, you'll want to consult your owners manual to ensure you're not exceeding the towing or cargo capacity of your van. When choosing a transmission cooler, you'll usually want to choose the largest cooler that will fit in the space available (unless you live in a very cold climate.) The ideal spot to mount a cooler is directly behind the grille, in front of the radiator and a/c condenser. The # D13503 is a bit larger, and if you have the room to accommodate it's 11x8-3/4x7/8...

  Both the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13611 and the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit , # D13501, would be a great choice for your 2011 Toyota Corolla. The general rule is that transmission fluid cannot be cooled too much, so using the largest cooler that will fit is a good idea, especially if towing. The only reason not to add the largest cooler possible, would be if you live in very cold climates where temperatures are below 0 degrees often...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation to Replace a Faulty Cooler in a 2006 Nissan Xterra
  Aftermarket transmission coolers are typically marketed as supplemental coolers, not replacement coolers. If you are looking to replace your OEM transmission cooler due to a leaky or damaged cooler, then you will want to install the largest transmission cooler that will fit in the space available. The ideal place to install this cooler would be in front of the AC condenser or radiator to allow for adequate air flow. I would recommend looking at the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Cooler,...

• Recommended Compression Fittings For Dodge Durango 2011 Citadel 5.7L Transmission Cooler
  The insta-dapt comes with all of the Derale kits. It is unfortunately not always a fit as it is a universal adapter. You have a couple options, you can flare the lines you have or I recommend using compression fittings. To ensure you choose the correct compression fitting for your vehicle, you will want to measure the diameter of your transmission lines. The most common size is 3/8 inches, but it would be safe to measure first. I have attached links to the compression fittings that we...

• Fittings for a Transmission Cooler for a 2016 Volvo V60 Polestar
  Since we haven't had the chance to install a transmission cooler on a 2016 Volvo V60 Polestar yet I am not sure what kind of fitting that your transmission cooler uses. What you can do to ensure that it fits a transmission cooler is cut the fitting off of your hose, measure your hose diameter, and then choose a compression fitting that matches the diameter of your hose. We have one for a 3/8" Line # D13032, a 5/16" Line # D13031, and a 1/2" Line # D13033. You can then filter through our...

  The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13503, would be a great choice for your 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis, as long as there is room in front of the radiator and ac condenser for the cooler to mount. Measure to be sure before purchasing, but most likely you will have plenty of room. The best tip I can give is to do some research on your vehicle. Check the radiator fittings and see if there are NPT (national pipe thread) fittings or Inverted flare fittings. Your vehicle...

• Using Derale Transmission Line Compression Fitting Kit D13031
  We have not had any feedback concerning the Derale Transmission Line Compression Fitting Kit # D13031 being prone to leak. If the outside diameter of your transmission line is 5/16" on your 1995 Jeep YJ then these fittings are going to work for you. To make certain there is no leaking what you can do is use liquid thread tape (Leak Lock) to seak the threads on the components expect for the one that secures the compression ring. You can also use standard thread tape, just make sure it is...

• Can the Factory Transmission Cooler on a 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500HD be Replaced with Remote Cooler
  It would be best to use a transmission cooler as a supplemental cooler to the factory transmission cooler. But if you have to bypass the factory cooler you will need to plug the input/output outlets at the radiator and use a remote cooler such as # D13960. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

In the world of coolers bigger is better.

  I spoke to my contact at Derale and although they have not had a chance to physically test their transmission coolers on the 9 speed transmission in your 2016 Honda Pilot yet, I do believe we have an option for you that will allow you to install the cooler.

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  A transmission cooler is always a good idea if you are towing. Overheating is one of the biggest causes for transmission failure because your transmission relies on the transmission fluid to stay cool. The added stress from towing a trailer on the engine and transmission will cause the transmission fluid to heat up more than normal. It is a good idea to get the largest transmission cooler possible because transmission fluid cannot be cooled too much, however, you will be limited by the...

• Transmission Line Fitting Recommendation for 1984 Chevrolet Silverado 454 Turbo
  The Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings, # D13018, covers 1987 - 2007 Chevy trucks so I can not guaranty that this would work for you. Instead you can use a universal fitting like part # D13031 for 5/16 inch line, # D13032 for 3/8 inch line, or # D13033 for 1/2 inch line. You will just need to take a quick measurement of the line on your 1984 Chevrolet Silverado 454 Turbo to determine which one you will need.

  The Derale Transmission Line Compression Fitting Kit is designed to allow for you to connect a rubber hose to a steel line. The lines coming from the transmission are generally steel and the aftermarket transmission coolers will almost always use rubber hoses therefore, a fitting to connect the factory steel transmission cooler lines to the rubber hoses on an aftermarket transmission cooler is needed. The factory steel transmission lines on your 2006 Chrysler Sebring are most likely a...

• Is a Transmission Cooler Required for a 1992 Dodge B250 V8 for Towing a 1500 lb Tent Trailer
  Adding a transmission cooler is never a bad idea. Anytime you are towing a trailer, the engine and transmission have to work harder. Keeping your transmission fluid at a lower temperature will prolong the life of your transmission. One factor that you can look at to determine if a supplemental transmission cooler would be absolutely necessary is the towing capacity of your 1992 Dodge B250. If the weight of your tent trailer is near the towing capacity of your van, I would strongly recommend...
