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.

Jeep Wrangler
The product is great, the only issue I had was that it did not have the correct connectors for the Jeep Wrangler, but I was able to get some quickly. It's kept my Jeep's Trans fluid temp nice and cool, even when pulling my 3k pound travel trailer.. GREAT!1651335

Easy to install and has worked great on my '06 4Runner v6. A little extra piece of mind for the mountains. This size just barely fits on the passenger side of the radiator - there is a central, vertical support bar behind the grill that prevents a wider cooler from fitting.1025788
I can not install the transmission cooler BECAUSE the other parts ordered has not arrived.1553715

This Transmission cooler really works well. It keeps my transmission much cooler while towing heavy trailers. I connected it in series with the factory coolers for a lower operating temperature. If towing or hauling heavy loads I recommend this plate cooler. Also plates remove more heat than tubes. 804231

This cooler is great. The transmission even towing rarely ever gets above 150 degrees. Heat is the main cause of transmission failure and fluid turning to varnish. Highly recommend this cooler.

Packaging was damaged but no damage to cooler due to solid construction. Had done online searches for installation tips and suggestions. All very beneficial. However, this cooler is larger than many I saw online and I had to find an alternate installation location. I was able to find a suitable location in front of radiator and minor modification (drilled two additional mounting holes in mount bracket and trimmed one corner for clearance.) Overall has shown lower transmission operating temps. Have not towed since installation and hope that lower temps carry over to towing a load. I give this product,shipping, and customer service a thumbs up. 644257

This was easy to mount in front of the radiator, and connections were correct to run as 2nd trans cooler for Armada, towing 6500lbs. Immediate change to about 15-20 degrees on long uphill climbs. Just need to inform the tranny guys that it takes more fluid whenever you get a change.1122613

Parts arrived fast and in good condition. My setup needs recessed mounting, and I must use the cooler's bolt holes for proper clearence and support. Supplied plastic ties and foam are not quite enough for a secure mounting, and the supplied hose barb fittings are nice aluminum, but I need a 1/2" barb end, not 3/8". These little things are no problem. I'm happy and will buy from e-trailer again.1091069

I added the cooler brfore going on a cross country trip. So far, I have climbed the ozark mountains , Guadalupe mountains, kings canyon and death valley. The highest temperature so far was 186. I'd say it is working better than expected

If the owner's manual for your 2009 Toyota Tacoma lists a towing capacity of 6,500 pounds then it's safe to tow up to this limit, however as you probably realize, the closer you creep up to this limit the more you're really going to feel the truck work. For example, I can probably run a couple miles without stopping but it's not going to be pretty. Over time this kind of stress can lead to premature wear on various truck components.
Now with all of that being said a 4,500 pound trailer... view full answer...
We have several options in transmission coolers for your 1997 F-350 7.3L V8 Power Stroke diesel and all can be seen on the link provided. Coolers are not vehicle-specific so you can use as large a cooler as you have space to mount it. The linked articles will give you plenty of useful guidance about placement that will guide your choice.
If your truck uses 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch NPT trans-line type fittings you will need to use install kit # D13014; if it uses 1/2-inch-20 partial thread... view full answer...
For the radiator coolant temperature, I recommend adding a supplemental fan or fans depending on how much space you have under the hood. There is no limit to the amount of fans you can have. A pusher fan, mounted in front of the radiator pushing air through it, would be the most efficient (provided that the factory fan is mounted on the same side and pushes air through in the same direction). A puller fan would be used on the other side of the radiator to pull air through. The largest electric... view full answer...
I would be happy to recommend a transmission cooler for your 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ 2WD.
If your Tahoe has the 4.8L V8 I recommend the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/ NPT Inlets - Class V - Extra Efficient # D13614, or if you have the 5.3L V8 I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets - Class IV - Efficient # D13504 instead.
For either of these options you will need the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting for GM # D13035,... view full answer...
As long as the transmission fluid temperatures are staying under 220 degrees you are pretty safe but keeping the fluid as cool as possible only helps so going with a larger or more efficient cooler like the Derale # D13614 in place of or in addition to what you have would be a really great idea. There really isn't such a thing as a cooler that is too big as long as you can make it fit. view full answer...
Both the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13613 and # D13612 will work for your application but I recommend going with the slightly larger # D13613. The 8-7/8 inch height on this unit (compared to 6-3/8 inches on the # D13612) will provide more space for the fluid to travel and thus allow for more efficient cooling on your GMC Safari.
The included radiator adapter will fit most vehicles with 5/16 inch transmission lines but it's possible that you may need to cut or... view full answer...
Transmission coolers like the Class V Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13614 are not vehicle specific; other pan type coolers such as # D14208 that bolt on in place of your transmission pan ARE specific to your 2000 Ford Expedition with 5.4L V8 engine. You can install Derale cooler # D13614 as long as you have space for it to mount in one of the preferred locations (see the linked article) such as in front of your AC condenser. You will also need hose fitting kit # D13025. view full answer...
The best transmission cooler kit for your 2018 Ram 3500 Dually with the 6.7 Cummins Turbo Diesel engine is going to be the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/ NPT Inlets item # D13611.

In addition to the increased surface area, this cooler also features turbulator technology, whereby fluids are agitated continuously. I have linked... view full answer...
We can't ever safely recommend you exceed the towing capacities of a truck like your 1992 Ford F-150.
However, for a transmission cooler for your truck the best option is going to be to go with the largest one you can fit in front of your radiator.
The Plate Fin Cooler part # D13614 would be a great option. This is a larger cooler that measures 11W x 11-3/8T x 1-1/4D Inch and is a very efficient design cooler. You will also need the fitting part # D13014 to make the install easier.

I would recommend you go with as big of a transmission cooler as you can fit in your 2005 Chevy 1500HD. You will need to measure the available space in front of the radiator to pick out the biggest one that will fit there.
The part # D13614 would be an excellent choice as it is a very efficient cooler. It's dimensions are 11" Wide x 11-3/8" tall x 1-1/4" deep. Check out the review video I attached for more info. You will also need the fitting part # D13035. view full answer...
Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific so there are no specific instructions for vehicles. Our best cooler would be the one that is most efficient. Stacked plate coolers are the most efficient and a good option with an install kit is the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13614. I have included a link to a video review of the cooler for you.
Installation is actually fairly straight forward. I have included links to some FAQ articles and videos that will show... view full answer...
Transmission coolers can be vehicle specific with their adapters, but for your 2017 Infinity QX60, there isn't a specific fit. I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets - Class III - Efficient # D13503 for a good option. The overall dimensions are 8-3/4 tall x 11 wide x 7/8 deep and the dimensions are the greatest restrictions on vehicles. You will want to look at what space you have available in front of your radiator for best function.

Any vehicle to which you want to add a secondary transmission cooler such as the Derale plate-fin type # D13503 needs to have accessible lines you can tap into. If the transmission does not provide this access you can sometimes access the return line from the OEM cooler (which is inside the radiator) at a fitting on the radiator itself.
The supplementary cooler needs to install after (downstream of) the OEM cooler that is in the radiator. The OEM cooler reduces the transmission fluid... 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 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.
Since you will be towing a 7,000-lb trailer through the mountains with your Silverado I would recommend to use the Derale... view full answer...
A supplemental automatic transmission cooler is recommended for towing or even for normal driving. Since transmission fluid cannot be overcooled, adding a cooler is a simple way to help prolong the life of the transmission. I recommend the Derale cooler # D13503 for your 2005 Nissan Titan. It is the most popular cooler for your truck.
The best place to put it is behind the grille, in front of the AC condenser and radiator. That is where it will work the best. I have included a link to... view full answer...
For your 2001 Ford Expedition with 5.4 L engine, I would recommend the largest cooler that will fit in front of the AC condenser at the front of the vehicle. The Derale Series 9000 Transmission Cooler Kit, item # D13614, would be a good choice. You will also need the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford, item # D13025, to complete the installation on your 5.4 Liter Expedition.
A larger capacity transmission pan would be a good idea also. If your Expedition has a 4R100 transmission... view full answer...
For this particular cooler, you would need to use a probe thermostat like part # D16759. This kit has an adjustable turn-on temperature range from 150-240*F. The turn-off is set at 10* lower than the turn on. view full answer...
When picking out a transmission cooler for a vehicle you really want to pick out the largest and most efficient style of cooler that will fit the available space in front of your radiator/condenser/intercooler.
If you have room for it the Derale Cooler part # D13614 would be a great choice as it is a large plate fin cooler that would do an excellent job cooling your transmission fluid. You will also need the fitting # D13025 to make the install a bit easier. view full answer...
Adding a transmission cooler to your 2005 Nissan Titan is a great idea to improve transmission performance and longevity, especially if you will be towing your Rockwood Roo 21SS trailer. Towing will put additional strain on an engine and transmission and one of the most common causes of transmission failure is overheating.

The transmission coolers that we carry are designed as supplemental coolers and not to replace a factory cooler. You could bypass the factory cooler but you would need the largest cooler that will fit in the available space in the engine compartment or you would need a cooler that has its own electric fan.
For a large cooler or one that is very efficient I recommend # D54006 which is a stacked plate design (most efficient). It measures 13 inches wide by 13-11/16 inches tall by 2 inches... view full answer...
There is a lot of pressure within the transmission lines of a vehicle, including your 2006 GMC Sierra so the tighter the fit the better. If an 11/32 inch hose is needed then I would go with it over a 3/8.
Cooler # D13503 isn't really large enough or efficient enough to allow you to bypass the factory cooler. That is why I recommend installing the cooler as a supplemental unit. If the fitting on your radiator has a 5/8" hex head then you can use special fitting # D13018 and not have to... view full answer...
The Class rating applied to transmission coolers is to help simplify choosing a cooler for a vehicle. Basically you would think about it in terms of a hitch class rating. So for example if your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser has a Class III hitch then a transmission cooler shown as a Class III is a good match. But ultimately you can use any cooler that fits in the intended mounting location.
Derale transmission cooler # D13503 is a very popular option. It is a Class III but if you want something... view full answer...
The Derale Transmission Pan Cooler # D14208 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit the Ford E40D transmission so it would fit and would help to reduce fluid temperatures.
For a solution that would work better a supplemental cooler would be a better option. One like the part # D13503 would do a better job reducing the fluid temperature than a pan cooler. The best way to pick out a cooler is to get the largest one that will fit in the available space in front of the radiator. Another... view full answer...
When installing the Derale # D15902, the Universal thermostatic sandwich adapter is used to add your oil lines to the cooler. It's not necessary to install the adapter during installation if you don't want to have your oil cooled as well. Using this cooler without the adapter will only bring the temperature of your coolant down and not the engine oil with this type of installation.
You could look to see if there is an oil filter available that would allow you to use this feature or you... view full answer...
