• Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2006 Saturn Vue 4WD
  Although the Derale # D13611 transmission cooler would work well with your Saturn Vue, we typically recommend using the largest cooler that will fit behind the grille of your vehicle. The ideal mounting location is directly behind the grill, in front of the radiator and A/C condenser. Because a transmission cooler allows airflow through it, there is not a worry that it will block or hinder the operation of the radiator or condenser behind it. A larger cooler like part # D13502, which measures...

• Bypassing OEM Radiator on 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
  The Derale transmission coolers we sell are intended as a supplemental cooler that is meant to augment the factory transmission cooler portion of the radiator, not replace it entirely. If you are experiencing the common problem with the radiator leaking causing the engine coolant to contaminate the transmission fluid, your best bet really would be to have the original radiator replaced.

• Comparing Different Types of Transmission Coolers for a 2006 Subaru Outback Wagon
  The reason you do not see any cooling capacity figures for a transmission cooler is because there are just too many variables at hand to give any sort of accurate estimates. These variables have to do with ambient temperature, mounting location, etc. That said, there is a way to compare the coolers and that is by their construction; tube-and-fin (least efficient), plate-and-fin (moderately efficient), stacked-plate (most effective). The Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler...

• Can Transmission Cooler be Installed on a Vehicle with Sealed Transmission
  Sealed transmissions make installing a transmission cooler a bit more interesting since there isn't an easy way to add or check fluid. There may not be a dipstick on your transmission, but there is drain and fill plug. You are going to have to use a lube pump to get the proper amount of fluid in the vehicle so honestly your best option is going to be to have a transmission shop do the install since they will have the equipment needed. Prefilling the cooler might get you pretty close...

• Aftermarket Transmission Cooler Installation for Mitsubishi Vehicles
  It would not surprise me if Mitsubushi OEM transmissions had a function that stopped the flow of transmission fluid out of the transmission when the transmission is cold.

The Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit, item # D13611, does not have...

• Can I Tow a Boat and Trailer that Weighs 1,255 lbs with a 2008 Ford Taurus
  I do not see any reason why you would not be able to tow a 1,255 pound boat and trailer with a 2008 Ford Taurus.
