• Transmission Cooler for 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Towing 3000-lb Trailer
  A transmission cooler is a sensible addition to almost any vehicle that will be towing a trailer. This is true even if the trailer weight is less than the vehicle's towing capacity. The 2008 Explorer Sport Trac 4.0L has a 3500-lb maximum trailer weight capacity according to the online manual I reviewed so a supplementary transmission cooler is definitely a good idea. Transmission fluid cannot be over-cooled. The recommended Derale cooler for your vehicle is item # D13503 which installs...

• Special Fitting Needed to Install Supplemental Transmission Cooler on a 2011 Lincoln Navigator
  You are correct. Fitting # D13025 threads into the radiator on your 2011 Lincoln Navigator so you will not have to cut or flare the metal lines to install a supplemental cooler. A cooler such as # D13503 includes the hose, clamps, and hardware to mount it so the fitting # D13025 is the only other part you'd need. They are the appropriate size to match the lines to/from the transmission. The fluid will flow from the transmission, into the stock cooler located inside the radiator, then...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2011 Ford Escape
  I found the expert answer you referenced where Jeff said to check the owners manual for restrictions on towing. He meant that you should check to make sure your vehicle is rated for towing the trailer you are planning on towing from a weight capacity point of view. There would be no restrictions on installing a transmission cooler aside from the available space on your vehicle. You would want the to route the transmission fluid from your factory cooler in your radiator to the aftermarket...

• Recommended Brake Controller and Transmission Cooler for 2004 Ford Expedition 5.4L 4×4 for Towing
  The best way to go for steep climbs and down hills is to have a good brake controller for the descent so you can use the manual adjuster as needed to apply brakes to only the trailer and the brake pedal to use brakes for both vehicle and trailer. I recommend a proportional brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. You will want to make sure you don't overheat your brakes by using them too often, but still use them as needed to maintain control. For the up hill climbs, your...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 1999 Ford F-150 with 5.4 liter V8
  For towing a trailer like what you mentioned with a 1999 Ford F-150 a supplemental transmission cooler would be a great option that we would highly recommend. Most likely your truck came with a factory cooler but typically they do not do a very good job at all. Especially around the age of your truck. The newer vehicles have better coolers but the older ones are adequate at best for light duty applications. I'd recommend the part # D13503 as this is a very popular and efficient cooler...

• Derale Transmission Cooler for 2003 Ford Explorer Towing 3200-lb Boat Trailer
  Generally the priority for cooling fluids in a tow vehicle is engine oil first, followed by transmission fluid, and then power steering fluid, if desired. Coolers like the Derale # D13504 are not fluid-specific; this cooler can be used for engine oil or transmission fluid. Coolers are also not vehicle-specific; you can use the largest cooler that will fit the space available for mounting one. Since you are planning to use a deep-pan tranny cooler I suggest you consider adding an engine...

  Thank you for the photo of your sturdy F-350 that is in need of a little TLC in the form of a transmission cooler to help it when pulling those heavy loads. For your heavy-duty application you'll want a high-efficiency cooler that will give your transmission the most temperature reduction possible. This means using the largest Class IV cooler that you can fit in the area in front of the radiator and A/C condenser (if present). The cooler I recommend is the Derale # D13105 that you referenced....

• Transmission Cooler for 2000 Ford F-250 Towing Heavy 5th Wheel Trailer
  Any fluid leaking from a vehicle is a warning. Often this indicates excessive temperatures in your transmission. If your transmission is stressed to the point of leaking fluid this means that somewhere either a seal, hose or other fitting is being pushed past its limit. My first suggestion is that you try to find that leakage point so you can check whether you have a bad seal or fitting that can be replaced. Driving your truck, let alone towing a trailer with it, with an inadequate trans...

  To properly install the Derale Transmission/Engine Oil Cooler # D13302 on your 2003 Ford F-150, you will need to purchase the hose separately.

• Important Temperatures to Monitor When Towing and How to Lower the Temperatures If Needed
  The key temperatures to monitor when towing are the transmission fluid, engine oil and coolant temperatures. Each of these fluids will have different ranges that you will want to stay within. For transmission fluid, the ideal operating temperature is between 160 and 200 degrees. If you find that you are running over 200 degrees, I would recommend installing a supplemental transmission cooler, like part # D13504, if you do not already have one. I also recommend using the Ford radiator...

• Do Transmission Coolers Install the Same Way on Every Vehicle
  Transmission cooler installations are not vehicle specific because transmission coolers themselves are not vehicle specific so they general way they install will be the same. What is different is where you may need to mount the cooler, whether or not you will have to cut and flare lines, and what you might need to move out of the way to install the cooler in the most efficient place. All of these things are different from vehicle to vehicle. The path of the transmission fluid should be...

• Does Installing Transmission Cooler on 2003 Ford Expedition Require Special Fittings
  For some vehicles we do have fitting adapters that thread into the radiator so that you'll have a barb fitting for the lines of the transmission cooler to attach to. We do not have any for your 2003 Ford Expedition though. Check out the install video I attached for the Derale part # D13503 on a very similar 2001 Ford Explorer and you'll see how we installed it without needing the adapters.

  For your 2002 Ford Excursion 6.8, I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets # D13503. This cooler has turbulators inside tubes for superior heat transfer. The included mounts attach the cooler to one of your other heat exchangers, but some people prefer to create a fixed mount using a mounting kit like # D13002. I recommend the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury # D13025 to easily install your new transmission cooler...
