• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2009 Ford F-150 STX 4.6L
  We have a few excellent transmission coolers that would be great additions to your 2009 Ford F-150 STX, but they will each be a little larger than your factory cooler and rightfully so since you will be towing a 7,000 lbs trailer. My best recommendation is the Derale Stacked-Plate Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13402. The stacked-plate coolers are the most efficient tranny coolers on out there, so you can rest assured that it will be doing the most to keep your transmission fluid cool when...

• Recommended Parts for 2004 Ford E250 5.4 V8 Towing Trailer
  You have the basics covered with the brake controller and tow mirrors but I would also recommend a transmission cooler like part # D13503 with the adapter part # D13024 and # D13014. This is going to do a great job prolonging the life of your transmission as heat is the number one killer of them and towing creates quite a bit of heat. Then to install the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR you'd just need the install harness part # RED87FR and for tow mirrors the custom install set # CTM2500...

• Automatic Transmission Cooler and Fittings for a 2006 Ford F-150
  For transmission cooler fittings the 6 or 10AN you see listed on coolers such as # D52506 does not make a whole lot of difference because you would want to look at complete cooler kits rather than just a replacement core. The fittings included with the cooler are already a match for it and for the hose that comes with the kits. I recommend cooler kit # D13504. It comes with a large plate-fin cooler, the means to mount it, some hose, and hose clamps. In order to install the cooler without...

• Transmission Cooler Options for a 1996 Ford F-250 with 7.3 Liter Diesel Engine

Even though the Derale Hyper-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit with Fan, -6 AN Inlets - Class V, # D13960, is not on that list, transmission coolers are not technically vehicle specific, so you could install it on your truck with the proper sized fittings. The D13960 comes with -6 AN x 3/8 inch hose barb adapter and one of the recommended...

• Transmission Cooler Installation Tips for a 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis LS
  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...

• What Transmission Cooler Fitting Will Fit On 2002 Ford F150 With 4.2 Liter V6
  The transmission cooler fittings you have referenced, # D13018, are not the correct part for your 2002 Ford F150 with 4.2L V6. For the 2002 Ford F150 with 4.2 L V6, it depends on what size transmission line fittings you have. If you have 5/8 inches-18 transmission line fittings you would use the Transmission Cooler Fitting, # D13025. If you have the 1/2 inches-20 transmission line fittings you would use Transmission Cooler Fitting, # D13024.

• Fit of Derale # D15230 Transmission/Oil Cooler on 1997 Ford Taurus
  Transmission and oil coolers aren't vehicle specific, but in some cases the fittings needed to install them on the vehicle can be. To install the cooler on your Taurus, you'll first need to ensure you have available space to accommodate the 12-3/4 x 7-5/8 x 3-3/4 inch size of the cooler/fan assembly. You'll need the # D15752 Install kit with thermostatic fan control for the oil cooler portion of the install and to tie in to the transmission return line, you'll need # D13014 if your car...

• How to Determine Fit of Oil Cooler for 1998 Ford F-150
  When it comes to transmission coolers they are not a vehicle-specific fit so any cooler, including the Derale 25-Row, High-Performance, Stacked-Plate Cooler # D52506, will fit depending on how much space you have in your 1998 Ford F-150; this one is 13" Wide x 9-3/16" tall x 2" deep. If you take a look at the linked help article on transmission coolers you can see exactly how they fit. A stacked-plate cooler is a great, heavy-duty option but if the 2" depth is too much another option is...

• Will Derale 8000 Transmission Cooler, # D13504, Fit A Ford F350 7.3L Diesel With Factory Cooler
  The best location for the Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13504, on your Ford F350 7.3L Diesel would be between your vehicle grille and the air conditioning condenser. This location will give you the most airflow and allow the maximum cooling ability of the heat exchanger. You will want to measure to make sure you have clearance to install the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger measures 11 inches wide x 12 inches tall x 7/8 inch deep. The Derale Series 8000 Transmission...

• Best Upgrades for Towing With a 2009 Ford E-350 12 Passenger Model
  The majority of problems that you will have when towing a trailer with your 2009 Ford E-350 will be related to vehicle sag; reduced braking power, decreased stability, improper headlight aim etc. These issues can then be amplified based on how heavy the trailer is or how worn the vehicle's suspension is. In order to combat these, a set of suspension enhancements will be needed. I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-107-47 for infrequent or part # SSR-107-54 for...

• What Transmission Cooler Should I use on my 2017 Ford Expedition
  You can choose many of the different coolers for your 2017 Ford Expedition. The 8an and 6an fittings are for other models instead I recommend using the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets - Class IV part # D13504 and the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford and Lincoln part # D13024. This will give you the components you need for a direct in line connection.

• 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 Supplemental Transmission Cooler Replace Factory Cooler of 1996 Ford F-150
  Ideally you actually install supplemental transmission coolers like the Derale part # D13504 after the factory cooler so that you get the cooling power of both coolers. This means you would not have to plug the ports on your radiator. You will also want the install fittings part # D13014 and # D13024 to make connecting your radiator as easy as possible and you'd be set.

• Transmission and Oil Cooler, Rear Helper Springs, and Towing Mirrors for a 2001 Ford E-350
  I have some excellent recommendations that will not only help your 2001 Ford E-350 van last a long time but will also keep you under budget. First, instead of just a transmission cooler, I recommend a combination engine oil and transmission fluid cooler # D15902. This will help both the transmission and engine run cooler which will in turn help get the longest life out of them. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. For the transmission cooler part of this combination...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendations for 2010 Ford F150 4.6L
  I'd agree with the fact that you want the best cooling performance. Traveling through the mountains, especially when towing can be hard on your transmission. This is why we routinely recommend getting the largest cooler that will fit in the space available. The most efficient place to install a transmission cooler is between the grille and the radiator or A/C condenser. The Derale # D13504 measures 11 inches wide by 12 inches tall by 7/8 inches thick, so if you have that amount of space...

• Recommended Transmission Cooler For 1995 Ford F250 With 7.3L Diesel Powerstroke Engine
  The Derale Transmission Cooler, part # D13614 is designed to work with your 1995 F-250 with the 7,3L diesel. Since you said you have a small cooler already I recommend running the fluid through the cooler you have and then through the # D13614, and then through the radiator. This would be the optimal way to cool your fluid. To make it much easier to install the hoses it is recommended to use part # D13024 if you have 1/2-inch-20 threads. If you have 1/4 or 3/8 inch NPT-trans-line fittings...

• Stacked Plate Transmission Cooler Recommendation for F150 Ford 2010
  The best transmission cooler will be the largest cooler you can fit in front of your radiator. Transmission coolers work best when mounted at the very front of compartment, (in front of the radiator)BEHIND THE GRILLE. You will want to measure this space to know how much room to have to install a cooler.

• Will Supplemental Transmission Cooler Help 2001 Ford E350 Van
  So let's start with benefit, and the answer is absolutely yes, your 2001 Ford E350 van will benefit from a supplemental transmission cooler. Reason is, you cannot overcool fluids, and because towing is a stressor, additional cooling keeps temperatures down and helps prolong the lifespan of your transmission whereas just the factory cooler won't have that effect.
