Are There Install Instructions for a Derale Transmission Cooler On a 2018 Ford F-150
Question:
I see recommendations for the Derale D13503 for my application. But I dont see any install information. Im looking at the lines from my trucks transmission and dont see any way that I would be able to connect that cooler to my truck with the supplies shown in the listing. Can you shed any light on the subject? Separate parts to order, etc. I want to make sure I have everything before moving on to this install. Thank you

Expert Reply:
The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit part # D13503 is indeed a good choice for your 2018 Ford F-150 but I recommend going with a slightly larger option in the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit part # D13504 as it will provide more cooling power. In regards to installation, this will be up to the installer as these are very universal kits which means exact instructions are not provided for specific vehicles. That said, you should not need any other parts outside of what is included with the kit.
I wish I had exact instructions for your F-150 but I have attached the generic written instructions for you. If these do not suffice then you may want to consider professional instillation.
