Specs:
Inlets: 11/32" hose barb
Overall dimensions: 11" wide x 7-1/4" tall x 7/8" deep
Distance between inlets: 10-1/4"
Mounting dimensions: 6-1/8" tall by either 5-1/4" or 6-3/4" wide

Note: The Derale Insta-dapt radiator adapter fits most vehicles with 5/16" transmission lines, but not all. In some cases, additional fittings or alteration of the OEM lines or hoses may be required for installation.
One of the more popular cooling systems available, the radiator-style, plate-and-fin heat exchanger provides increased surface area so that fluids can spread out along the finned chambers to cool faster. In addition to the increased surface area, this cooler also features turbulator technology, whereby fluids are agitated continuously, not only to facilitate heat transfer, but also to prevent any undesirable drop in pressure.

Buy the extension hose Derale 13003, you'll need it on a 2016 Odyssey (Napa can't help you, this is an odd size hose, force 5/16" or 3/8" on at your transmission's peril $$$$! Decent cooler, simple.860493
Most passenger cars do not have factory installed transmission coolers, including the Vision in all likelihood. On that car you will find a radiator for cooling the engine block and an A/C compressor condensor. If the Vision did have one, it would be integrated into the radiator at one of th corners.

2010 Subaru Forester
Cooler came just in time. I installed it in my 2010 Subaru Forester so that I can safely pull my trailer without boiling my transmission. Glad to say I needed no special fittings to get the job done. The cooler looks well made and the size is just right...anything bigger would be a tough fit.36817
Great product. Super easy to install on my 2009 V6 4Runner. Keeps my transmission nice and cool. I did buy a little bit of extra hosing to mount it further on the other side of the car. But otherwise a complete kit for mounting it.254361
The installation was straightforward, and the temperature difference after the cooler was significant. This cooler will place additional years to the life of the transmission with 230,00 miles.1574631

As far as I know, it's working well. I did the install so I could tow with my 2011 Honda Odyssey. I paired it with an etrailer power steering cooler. Install was fairly smooth. I had more issues with broken fairing fasteners than I did with this cooler. I used a bluetooth ODB reader to keep tabs on transmission temps while towing a small 4x6 enclosed trailer approx 400mi one-way. Empty weight was around 300lbs, we may have filled it to 1K lbs. Temps were in the mid-upper 80*f range, all highway driving along mostly flat roads. I did a lot of googling to try and find aceptable temps, good luck. Later on I used a small utility trailer to move an entire 3K Sq ft home. Distance was approx 1/4 mile (close by). Transmission temps remained good after many round trips. Fluid color remained acceptable.1105138

Since last review I rented a uhaul 4x6 enclosed trailer a few more times to help someone move. Still no tranny or steering issues. Transmission fluid still remains an acceptable level of pinkred. Additional upgrade has been a pair of Timbren rear suspension enhancement in prep for my next trailer adventure. The factory bump stops were damaged. The Timbrens are supposed to handle the constant contact as the rear end sags under load. Ill provide an update on those after the trip.

2006 Toyota Tacoma
Excellent transmission cooler with fairly easy installation. I chose to mount mine to brackets in front of the radiator rather than by pushing mounting rods through the radiator condenser. Plans for my 4-cyl Tacoma were initially for pulling a utility trailer out to my land and back. Wife wanted to get an RV and take trips. All of my purchases and installations from etrailer were based on the expert advice from the sales people. And, I actually purchased and installed all the parts before we bought an RV. This shows you that the installation videos are spot on. I could never hook up a trailer and 'try it out'. But everything worked perfectly. I kept all the weights under limit, used a weight distribution hitch, brake controller, Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, and side mirrors, along with the class III hitch, and 4 pin and 7 pin wiring harness that I installed.
My Tacoma is only rated for towing 3500# but we never had a problem pulling a 3000# load. 65 was tops on the speed and that was on a straight road.
My scan gauge indicated that my transmission temp stayed at 165 except for when we traveled through stop and go city traffic. Then it rose to 185/190 for short times. Back on the road and it dropped to 165/170 a gain.
I was really impressed with this little cooler.524627

This was fairly easy to install. As far as I can tell it's working great. I am trusting that it will help extend the life of our transmission and keep things cool when we travel to the Rockies later this year.1573628

Toyota FJ Cruiser
I installed this trans cooler in a Toyota FJ cruiser that I use for occasional towing of trailers/loads up to about 4500 lb. The cooler, of course, is hidden away in the engine compartment so I don't really see it. It does the job I expected, keeping the trans fluid within range with no drama. I am quite satisfied with it and recommend it.904547

Still working, no issues at all. I use the FJ to tow an overlanding trailer and occasionally a flatbed with a tractor on it. No increase in transmission temp for either situation. So the cooler works. Its just there. No drama, no issues.

So far so good. Just installed the cooler a couple days ago getting ready for a move trailing a full load for 1000mi.
Install guide and descriptions are very generic and therefore require a bit forethought and pre-work.
Will see how the product will hold up in the long run.
Shipping and transactions with etrailer have been excellent once again.81679

I had this installed in my 2008 Nissan Titan to prevent transmission overheating. My Titan has the big tow package, max tow is 9,400 lbs and comes with a factory transmission cooler but it just wasn't enough to keep the gauge out of the hot zone when towing heavy. After installing this I pulled my 5000lb 27ft camper in 104 degree heat up hills and with a head wind, the gauge never left the normal temp range area. I would buy again. I do recommend this transmission cooler for additional protection against heat.1085296

I have is d Etrailer 8 or 9 times. Everything I've ever bought from Etrailer has been great. The installation videos alone are great, but the the thought that goes into the gagets they ship with the hitches to get the job done at home is amazing. There customer service is great also. I didn't need one of the parts I purchased so I returned it with no issues or hassle. Thank you!!! It's rare to find a company with values like yours.

Had an automatic transmission that would overheat pulling a trailer up a steep grade on rough dirt roads. Put a deeper aluminum oil pan on it but still had the problem. This cooler has cured that problem. Wasn't too bad to install. It didn't come with enough hose for my application though so I deducted a star884326

2006 Toyota Sienna
I installed this cooler on our 2006 Sienna to extend its life while towing our R-Pod 172 trailer. It appears to be doing its job, and after a year everything is still in it's place. Installation required a tiny bit of tinkering to route the hoses and zip ties, but it all went about as expected. The job was done in an afternoon (I am handy enough, but definitely not a car mechanic). I did wrap and tape some sheet metal around parts of the hoses to protect them from getting cut where they would otherwise be pushed against sharp edges. See photos.1204829

2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
The cooler is a great add-on to help guarantee the life of my transmission in my 2007 Chevy Trailblazer.
The size was perfect for mounting just behind my grill and well in front of the stock radiator with barely any modification/trimming of the surrounding plastic. I have no real world temperatures but I am happy knowing the the temps in my transmission are at least a little bit cooler.
The only mist-step is the included mounting pieces. While handy to get things in place after forgetting to pick-up bolts, washers and nuts, the plastic ties really didn't hold up well for the 2 weeks until I removed them. They also don't play well with the bendable mounting kit unless you have something to eat up the space when the ties are tightened as far as they can go. Again, it's minor and had I remembered to purchase the hardware I eventually used prior to the actual install, I probably wouldn't even be writing this.
Also, the hose is certainly not long enough for my application.141336
Purchased a Tranny cooler from Etrailer a year ago and it has worked out great. Parts shipped out quick. Everything was of the highest quality. Very easy to install with the bracket kit. I will be sure to use Etrailer again. 377636

2009 Honda Odyssey
Previously installed cooler from Etrailer in a 09 Odyssey. Hauled trailer all through WA, OR, ID, WY, UT, NM and CO (crazy high passes) with no problems.
New cooler is for '13 Jeep GC. The cooler came with clear instructions and all necessary fittings. I will mount it on aluminum brackets to bumper behind grill rather than plastic rivets to rad.
Thank you.352688

Chevrolet Traverse
This was recommended by etrailer for my Traverse. It was fairly easy to install, (mostly with help from YouTube videos). I took my time and it took about 3 hours. If I did it again it could probably be done in an hour or less. It's been a year of towing an 18' ski boat and it has totally done the job. That adapter that is recommended with this is vital as far as I can tell.430529

We use this to help us tow a 3,000lb camper with a 4 cylinder Tacoma. It works well. We didn't like the plastic mounting hardware to piggyback it onto your existing radiator so we used thick zip ties to mount it to the radiator frame.1328093

I wish I would have done this sooner. The cooler was way simpler to install than I ever thought it would be. The only difficult part was romoving the front clip of my 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche. I feel much more secure knowing my transmission is cooler while towing my camper.137861
Determining which line is the return on your 2004 Chevy Malibu pretty easy.
First, locate the transmission lines. Then, start the vehicle, and place the transmission in drive for 10 seconds. Place the transmission in park, and turn off the vehicle. Feel both transmission lines. The cooler of the two lines will be the return line, which is the one you would use to install the transmission cooler like the part # D13502. view full answer...
We carry numerous transmission coolers that are recommended for your 1994 Chevy C/K 1500. The determining factor on which is the best for your particular truck is the size engine it has and how much space there is to mount it in the location you want. I have included a link to the available coolers below. Each cooler comes with the necessary fittings for installation.
We also carry various other fittings separately, should you need additional parts when installing the cooler. I have included... view full answer...

Ideally you want to keep the temperature of the transmission fluid in the 160 to 200 degree range. You cannot cool transmission fluid too much.
Transmission coolers are universal fit items so you will want to measure the space you have in front of your air conditioning condenser or your radiator to see what size cooler will fit your 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

You can install a transmission cooler on your 2007 Toyota Tacoma 2.7L 4-cylinder, even though the ones recommended are for the larger 4.0L engine. Transmission coolers are a universal fit product.

The Derale # D13502 would be an excellent transmission cooler for your Odyssey. You'll want to check the area directly behind the grille, in front of the A/C condenser and radiator to ensure there's enough room to accommodate the 11 x 7-1/4 x 7/8 inch dimensions of the cooler.
I'd recommend consulting your owner's manual, because for certain vehicles, Honda also recommends a power steering cooler, like part # D13200.

When you install a supplemental transmission cooler in a vehicle you want it to be downstream of the factory cooler in the radiator. When we installed a cooler in similar Uplander as yours we found that the return line (the one to use for installation), was the one nearest the radiator cap.
To verify which line to use you can go out to your vehicle when it is cold and start it up, put it in gear and while holding the brakes raise the rpms by pressing the accelerator slightly. Quickly turn... view full answer...
An efficient Class III transmission cooler you can use on your 2011 Toyota Tacoma 4.0 V6 is the Derale plate-fin cooler # D13503 or the slightly smaller Derale # D13502. Both are designed for vehicles with late-model electronic overdrive transmissions. view full answer...
Based on the brochure I was able to find from Ford regarding what is included with the Class III towing package your 2017 Ford Explorer with the 3.5L V6 actually does not have a different transmission cooler than the standard Explorers. Your towing package includes an engine oil cooler, trailer hitch receiver, and 4-way/7-way connector.
With that in mind I do recommend adding an additional transmission cooler, # D13502, to keep your transmission cool when towing.
This will get installed... view full answer...
The effectiveness of a transmission cooler, like # D13502, depends on several factors. It depends on the size of the cooler, where it is mounted, what type of cooler, what is going to be towed, and the conditions/terrain you will be towing in. The bottom line is that if you are towing something small a short distance or something large a long distance, a cooler will help to keep transmission fluid cooler thus prolonging the life of the transmission on your 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan.

The Derale Transmission Cooler, item # D13502, will be the correct cooler for your 2000 Jeep Cherokee 4door 4x4.

Your Highlander can pull a trailer of that size, but it could be pretty hard on the vehicle.
If you were towing on flat ground it wouldn't' be a big deal, but because you'll be going through the mountains, you'll be pushing your Highlander fairly near its limits. If your travel trailer is loaded all the way up to the GVWR, it could weigh as much as 4400 lbs which is pretty close to the towing capacity of the vehicle.
If it were me, I'd look at a lighter camper option or if that camper... view full answer...
Most vehicles will have a transmission cooler integrated into the radiator. There are lines from the transmission to the radiator to circulate transmission fluid through the radiator so the transmission runs cooler. Under normal circumstances, this works pretty well unless you're towing near the 1500 lb towing capacity of the CR-V or are towing in a hilly or mountainous area.
Supplemental transmission coolers like # D13502 are available that would install directly behind the grille in... view full answer...
Basically, transmission fluid cannot be overcooled, so adding a cooler to work with the factory cooler in front of the radiator would give you the most cooling. I am not sure how you would go about taking the cooler IN the radiator out of the loop or if doing so voids the truck warranty, so you would want to contact the dealer for that information. They might also be able to shed some light on the contamination problem you are having.

According to the owner's manual for your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, the towing capacity can range from 2,000 lbs to 3,500 lbs.

The differerence between the three coolers you mentioned is the size overall. The # D13503 measures 11" Wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep. The part # D13502 measures 11" Wide x 7-1/4" tall x 7/8" deep (slightly shorter) and the part # D13504 measures 11" Wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep.
We recommend fitting the biggest cooler you can fit in the available space in front of the radiator. view full answer...
First, if you have an aluminum trailer frame, you will first need to consult the trailer manufacturer to make sure that it can be used with weight distribution. If you find that you can, you will need to start out with a pole tongue adapter, # RP58393.
The adapter bolts around the tongue and provides attachment points for weight distribution. You can then add a weight distribution system. I recommend going with a system rated for 250 to 400 pounds tongue weight. Tongue weight can be calculated... view full answer...

Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, in order to determine if this Derale Transmission Cooler # D13502 would fit on your vehicle I would recommend you check out the area in front of your radiator and measure it to determine if you have enough room for this cooler to fit.

Other than the Derale # D13503 being slightly larger than the # D13502, there's no difference between the two. Both heat exchangers operate on the same principle, but because the # D13503 has a slightly larger surface area, the # D13503 would do a slightly better job.
The best spot to mount a transmission cooler is behind the grille, in front of the radiator and A/C condenser. You'll want to compare the amount of available space to the dimensions of the heat exchanger to make sure they'll... view full answer...
We do not recommend bypassing the factory cooler with a supplemental transmission cooler, but if you are going to do so, I strongly suggest using the largest and most effective cooler that will fit in your engine compartment.
