with these fittings and transmission oil cooler on my 2000 Ford F350 superduty powerstroke diesel has lowered my temps by 15 degrees.
Thanks

I have a 99 Ford F250 4WD 7.3 diesel with 191,000 miles. I am on my 4th transmission. I pull a horse trailer once a year to Colorado or Wyoming from E Texas on an elk hunt. Other than that, maybe a camper or horse trailer hauled to my deer lease 100 miles away. I finally added a temp gauge to the last one. Now I was seeing that my tranny was running around 205 just pulling my trailers up a small grade around my county. Outside temp around 90. I replaced the original Ford cooler with one from Ford. Same results. I did research on my own and stumbled on to Etrailer.com and articles of the Derale 8000. I had this put on by my radiator man. He wanted to mount it above the Ford cooler to get max airflow. He had to fabricate some brackets and use some other hose connectors as the ones furnished didn't fit right. Not a problem for me as this thing has finally solved my problems. I ran the same route with my horses loaded in the trailer(est 6000# total wt). The temp gauge registered 170 to 175. That is a drop of 30 to 35 degrees. I now feel confident when I go to Colorado in a few weeks that I won't be broke down on side of road with overheated tranny and buying another tranny when I return. Etrailer shipped product very fast. I am overly happy regardless of it not just fitting perfect.

I installed the Derale D13503 in series with my existing factory installed auxillary cooler for added protection on my Ford Explorer Sport Trac. With the Sport Trac tranny having the reputation for overheating failure, I took the cooling up a notch! I tow a 7X14 enclosed v-nosed trailer, and now I am protected! It was a very easy install, and the included hardware made it pain-free :-)



by:

As a returning coustomer I can say all my dealings with atrailer have been great.
Great product, price, shipping and the very best coustomer service.
Product fit perfect and preformed as expected.
Will be back in the future when I need products etrailer sells
Thanks

Great product at a good price , makes adding a trans cooler easy.
fast shipping too.

Does not work on 99 F250 7.3L. The flare sides of the fittings are to long and deep to use with the existing cooler and fittings.

  • 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...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2007 Ford F150
    The answer to your question is going to depend on how much free real estate you have on the front of the radiator right behind the truck's grille, which is the place where you'll want to install it. Unless you live where it gets and stays below 0°F for most of the winter, you really can't overcool a transmission, so you could go as big as the available space allows (more on that later). If you have 11 x 12 inches of space available, I'd recommend the # D13504 . You'll also need some transmission...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler For Early 2009 Ford Flex With 3.5L Non-Eco Boost Engine
    For your early 2009 Ford Flex with the 3.5l V6 Non-Eco Boost I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets - Class III - Efficient # D13503 as it is confirmed to fit your vehicle, and due to its effeciency in cooling the fluid from your transmission. To install the # D13503 you will also need the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury # D13025. I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

  • 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...

  • Transmission Cooler For 2007 Ford F150
    You can indeed install a cooler like the # D52506 in place of the existing factory cooler, but you might consider installing it inline between the radiator and transmission as outlined in the help article I've provided. This will provide additional cooling which will work great because unless you live in a very cold climate, you really can't over cool a transmission. You'll need one of two fittings. Use kit # D13024 for vehicles with 1/2"-20 thread on trans line fitting, or use kit # D13025...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler For 3/8 Inch Hoses on 2002 Ford Excursion 6.8L
    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...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2004 Ford F-150 Towing in Mountains
    Do you mean 4 wheel low 1 or low 2 gearing for your truck? You should keep the truck in 2 wheel drive when towing if you are on dry pavement. Putting the vehicle into 4 wheel drive will cause damage if you are on dry pavement. It would be a really smart idea to install a transmission cooler on your truck if you haven't installed one already. For that I recommend the Derale part # D13503 which is larger and very efficient. You'll also want the fittings part # D13024 and # D13025 to make...

  • How To Pick Out a Transmission Cooler for a 2008 Ford F-150
    If you can fit a bigger transmission cooler than the part # D13502 then I would recommend you do that. Realistically, you can't go too big when it comes to transmission coolers. The biggest one you can fit will be your best option. The part # D13502 measures 11" Wide x 7-1/4" tall x 7/8" deep. If that's the biggest you can fit then I'd go with this one. Otherwise I'd look into a bigger one like the part # D13504 that measures 11" Wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep. I attached an install video...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2006 ford F150 5.4 with the Tow Package
    You are on the right track, installing a supplemental transmission cooler to go along with the factory cooler to maximize the cooling of the transmission fluid is a great idea to prolong the life of your transmission. The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13504 would work great. To make installation easier on your 2006 Ford F-150 you would also want the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings # D13025. This will thread into the radiator and on the outlet line to provide...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler For a 1999 Ford F-150 With 4.6L V8
    I recommend using the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13504 as it is one of our larger transmission coolers and will help to keep your transmission temps cooler. You will need the Adapter Fittings # D13024 and # D13025 to tie into your transmission fluid cooling lines. Unfortunately, we do not have any installation videos on a vehicle similar to your 1999 Ford F-150 at this time.

  • Recommendation for a Supplemental Transmission Cooler for a 2007 Ford F-150 with 5.4 Liter Engine
    Based on the information you have provided, which I greatly appreciate, a standard supplemental cooler should be sufficient for your needs. Ideally you want the transmission temperature to be no more than 200 degrees F. Mounting a larger cooler directly behind the grille (in front of everything else) such as # D13504 should get you to the ideal range. You will also want fitting # D13025 so you will not have to cut and flare any lines. A remote cooler with its own fan will provide the optimum...

  • 1998 Ford Explorer 4 Door Replacement Electric/Heated Mirrors and 5.0L Transmission Cooler
    If your 1998 Ford Explorer does not currently have heated mirrors you would not gain that feature by getting the CIPA Mirrors part numbers # CM43312 and # CM43313. Like you suspected it uses a factory connection that will not be present on vehicles without heated factory mirrors. If you have electric mirrors without heat you would want CIPA Mirrors # CM42195 and # CM42095. Adding an additional transmission cooler would be an excellent idea for you. Heat is the number 1 enemy to transmissions...

  • Recommendation For Transmission Cooler on 2005 Ford Excursion 6.8L / V-10
    I would strongly recommend to add an aftermarket transmission cooler to your 2005 Ford Excursion 6.8L vehicle to prevent any damage to your transmission. The ideal operating temperature range of your transmission fluid should be 160 to 200 degrees. Adding the cooler will not bypass the existing factory cooler which is located inside the radiator. Adding a cooler provides supplemental cooling to the your factory cooler. Transmission coolers are universal fit items. What you will need to...

  • 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. The Derale 19-Row Stacked Plate Transmission Cooler Kit # D13403 you referenced measures 13 inches wide x 7-5/16 inches tall x 2 inches deep. As long as this cooler fits behind the grille...

    The best transmission cooler for you is the Derale Series 8000 Plate and Fin Heat Exchanger with Installation Kit # D13504. This is our most popular transmission cooler that we offer and works well with many different vehicles, including your 2007 Ford F-150 with the 4.2 engine. To complete the installation you will want to add Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury # D13025 and Derale Rigid Mounting Kit # D13002.

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler for 1999 Ford F-350 with 7.3L V8 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....

  • Is Derale Radiator Adapter Fitting # D13025 Needed To Install Transmission Cooler on 1999 Ford F-250
    You will need the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury, # D13025, which will allow you to connect to the return line of the factory transmission cooler. Part # D13025 allows you to connect to transmission return line without flaring the line when installing on your 1999 Ford F-250 Powerstroke. Installing the cooler behind the front grille, but in front of the radiator will provide the greatest cooling efficiency. You will want to measure a mounting location for...

  • How Difficult is it to Install a Transmission Cooler on a 2012 Ford F-150
    Transmission coolers are fairly simple to install requiring just a bit of mechanical aptitude and some basic tools. If I had to rate the process on a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being easy and 10 being hard, I would have to say about a 5. I have attached an install video for you. The process to install the cooler will not be the same as the attached video for your truck but very similar as the process will only differ slightly. As long as you have 11" wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep of space...

  • Weight Distribution and Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2007 Mercury Mountaineer
    You'd want to check with a Ford dealer. I wasn't able to get a specific towing capacity for your vehicle but it looks like the capacity range is between 3,500 and 6,930 lbs. If your capacity is good with the weight of your trailer the weight distribution system you'd want is the Pro Series part # PS49582 which has a tongue weight range of 550 to 750 like what your trailer has. Then for a transmission cooler you'd want the # D13503 with the fitting adapter part # D13025. This is a very...

  • 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...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2001 Ford Excursion
    Generally speaking, you'll want to choose the largest cooler that will fit in the available space right behind the vehicle grille. For an Excursion, there won't be any problem with available space. The only caution about going with too large of a cooler is that it could lengthen the amount of time it takes for the vehicle to warm up in a cold climate. The Derale # D13504 would be an very good choice. It's 11 x 12 inch size would provide plenty of supplemental cooling to protect your transmission....

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 1996 Ford Aerostar
    Transmission coolers are pretty universal in application. The best way to pick one out would be to measure the space you have in front of your radiator and pick out the biggest cooler that would fit there. The Derale Transmission Cooler part # D13502 would be an excellent choice if you had the clearance for it. It measures 11W x 7-1/4T x 7/8D Inch. To make installation easier you would also want the # D13014 and # D13025 fittings.

The sandwich adapter you purchase to go with the oil cooler side of the # D13302 should come with barbs to attach the rubber lines to. You might be interested in purchasing a Derale Thermostatic Sandwich Adapter Kit # D15782. This product has multiple thread sizes to that it should work on your...
