2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets - Class II - Efficient
- Plate-Fin Cooler
- With 11/32 Inch Hose Barb Inlets
- Derale
- 11W x 5-3/4T x 7/8D Inch
- Standard Mount
11" Wide x 5-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep, efficient heat exchanger will prolong the life of your transmission and improve its overall performance. Specifically designed for Dodge Coronets with late-model, electronic overdrive transmissions.
Features:
- Prolongs life of transmission
- Improves overall performance
- Prevents heat-related failures
- Has furnace-brazed aluminum construction and 3/4" wide turbulator plates for more efficient cooling
- Includes complete mounting kit, OEM spec hose with stainless steel clamps and Insta-dapt radiator adapter
- Recommended for small to mid-size trucks and SUVs
Specs:
- Inlets: 11/32" hose barb
- Overall dimensions: 11" wide x 5-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep
- Distance between inlets: 10-1/4"
- Mounting dimensions: 4-1/2" tall by either 5-1/2" wide or 6-3/4" wide
- 1-Year warranty
Note: The Derale Insta-dapt radiator adapter fits most Jeep Grand Cherokees 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.

1998 Lincoln Mark VIII
Have a 1998 Lincoln Mark 8 w/ 4 speed automatic which retails for no less than $ 4000.00 - Having this potential monkey on my back , I decided to invest in a trans cooler. Fabricated mounts and bolted on , used double flare connection to cooling line w/ barbed fitting ; barbed fitting @ radiator fitting. Used 2 hose clamps @ cooler, one clamp on each barbed fitting . Could only mount with fittings to left ,fluid leaves radiator , enters cooler @ top ( to reduce pump load ), comes out of bottom & returns to tranny. No trans temp. guage, but cooler gets hot @ idle, verifying cooler works . Well constructed and sturdy,easy to mount ; comes with instructions.

It’s been almost a year since I installed this transmission cooler. I would say it’s gone without a hitch, but THAT would be inaccurate. I also installed a hitch! I placed great confidence in this transmission cooler to do its job as my 2015 Honda Accord V6 served as my truck during our move this past year. Never a problem (ok, I’ll say it... It went without a hitch!).
etrailer customer service was EXCELLENT! There was a question during installation that arose from my particular model of car having a Transmission Fluid Warmer that in effect made identification of the transmission outlet and inlet reversed according to the instructions. The technician actually read and considered what I was saying, instead of just assuming the instructions applied to my vehicle. Thanks to their input, I correctly reversed the directions and got the correct solution!
BTW... I attached some pics of the correct hose routing for the 2015 Honda Accord V6. Note how you simply remove the short hose shown in the first pic, and connect the hoses from the transmission cooler! Note that I mounted the transmission cooler vertically so the hoses would reach. The last pic is showing the transmission fluid warmer (just as an FYI).

I installed this transmission cooler about a year ago. Install went easy but I did have The bumper off as I was replacing the radiator. I think my temperatures are down by about 15°. The only reason I did not give it five stars is that I probably could’ve used a larger one.

I now have had the cooler installed for 2 yrs. Works great. Recently was towing up a long grade, about 6 miles, temp stayed in a decent range the entire climb, even at a reasonable speed.

2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek
Although the website said this fit my car, it didn't. etrailer is good if you don't have to return anything. I've done a lot of business with them and have been satisfied but when I had to return this the return shipping was a third of the price of the item. Not good.

I am not sure as to how the installation was attempted however the manufacturer does show this to be a fit for a 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek with a 2.0L H4 Engine. It is specifically designed for Subaru XV Crosstreks with late-model, electronic overdrive transmissions. The radiator adapter that comes with the kit will fit most vehicles with a five sixteenth transmission line but not all. In some cases, additional fittings or alteration of the OEM lines or hoses may be required for installation. The label that we send will allow the part to be returned via UPS ground. Using our label is not required if you have a way of shipping it back that is more economical. You will just want to make sure that it is trackable.

Dodge Grand Caravan
I was lucky enough to have Etrailer install this on my Grand Caravan (they made a video). I drove 800 miles towing a 6x12 enclosed trailer with NO problems. It kept my transmission cool towing through the mountains. I have towed smaller trailers with the minivan that made it shift strange. After installation, all better.
by: Roy07/21/2019
Very easy to install! Installed on a 2014 Toyota Sienna. Installed lower right quadrant. Make sure you have an extra hose clamp to complete the installation ( if you are using the insta adapt as a hose slice) very good design!

My CVT performance has benefited from it greatly! It was overheating causing shuttering & delayed response when accelerating from a full stop after being ran for many miles in hot ambient temperatures.

2004 Oldsmobile Alero
Product was as described on the website. Installation took a few hours - no where near as easy as shown on the installation video - to install on my 2004 Alero. The challenge is that the upper line transmission cooler line is the line you have to route the cooler hoses to and mounting the cooler and getting the lines routed up to the top of the radiotr houseing required removal of the front bumper, loosening the radiator mount (from below the car - there are two wing nuts) and then CAREFULLY drilling a 11/2" hole in the plastic molding that completely covers the front upper portion of the radiator. Then you can route the hoses through the hole. I bought the optional GM fittings and that made connecting the hoses very easy.

2003 Honda CR-V
I found etrailer.com on random search in the internet after we bought our CRV and started researching hitches. U-Haul, whom I use often I use often and like very much, wanted $400 for the hitch, harness and transmission cooler. I found all three on etrailer for $200, and they delivered it quickly (and I mean quickly) and it wasl well packaged, etc. I figured I was a handy person, and thought how hard could it be? Well not only where the products high quality, the instructions clear and easy, they videos are a life savers for people who do better "seeing" a process, rather than "read" about a process. The hitch took me 20 minutes, the harness 20, and the Transmission Cooler about 45. Thank you etrailer for the pleasent experience, I am already going to order a few accessories for ouu CRV, and guess where I will be buying them! In case is was unclear, etrailer all the way.

2011 Nissan Rogue
The cooler itself fixed my Nissan Rogue limp problem completely fine, the installation was annoying, but nothing I didn't expect from it. The only problem I had with this product was that the hose that came with the kit was not long enough for both the return and arrival lines, I had to go to a local auto shop in order to get another hose to complete the installation.

Works great! Pulling at 18’ camper with my Honda Odyssey with no problems.
by: Paul03/22/2022
I did not install this trans cooler myself. Installer said the supplied hose clamps were somewhat weak, and one broke during install. So far, seems to be working well, but it is still winter in Wisconsin and the hot weather/trailering test is yet to come.
by: Todd I.06/20/2011
The product arrived in a timely manner and was as advertised. The product included all hardware needed to install it onto the vehicle. The only problem I had was identifying the transmission lines and determining which line was the hot side and which was the return side. This was no reflection on the product, but more detailed installation instructions would have been nice. The installation videos on the website contributed greatly to my decision to purchase the product.

2001 Buick Century
Installed the Derale 8000 because my 2001 Buick Century would shift hard when it got hot outside. So far i've driven it a week and it's been shifting smooth. The Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter installed easily with no leaks. I suggest getting extra hose. Needed another 12" to complete.

2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
My tranny fluid was running hot on my 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP. The transmission on these cars is known to not be able to handle the power of the engine too well so I wanted to do anything to help it out. I had this cooler installed to supplement the factory cooler.
I am not towing anything so a large cooler isn't a necessity. So far, this cooler is working as I expected, keeping the fluid below 200 degrees with the temperature outside above 100! Though a larger cooler would probably get the temp closer to where I'd like it, there is not much room in the engine compartment for something much bigger on my car.
by: Stephen06/01/2021
Durable and seemingly good cooling capacity. No leaks and finish is still intact after a year of use.
by: Jim C.06/11/2017
2015 Subaru Forester
Looks like its well made but hose is only about half of what I will need as this does not just enhance the build-in cooler but must be connected all the way back to the transmission from in front of the radiator. Install will be in a 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i.

If you'll only be using the hitch for towing a trailer, it should work just fine for you. However, if you're wanting to use the hitch as an attachment point for other hitch mounted accessories like a cargo carrier or a bike rack, it wouldn't be the best choice. Curt's warranty requirement state that all non-trailer loads need to use a stabilizing strap, like part # 18050. The...

You cannot cool transmission fluid too much, so the Class III cooler will provide better cooling when towing and will be good for the transmission around...
view full answer... - Air Helper Spring Fit for 2006 Acura MDX AWDAccording to AirLift, their AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs, part # AL60815 are a fit for all models of the 2006 Acura MDX. The kit will add up to 1000 lbs of additional support which will help counteract the sag in your rear suspension caused by the tongue weight of a trailer being applied to it. I've linked to a video showing a typical installation. The video shows the kit being installed on a Honda Odyssey, but the procedure would be similar to what you'd need to do on your MDX.

The key is just ensuring the correct length of hose; that is a pretty open area so you will have plenty of room for installation. I have added a link to a video showing the installation of a Derale transmission cooler on a 2017 GMC Canyon - which is the same thing as a Colorado - which has the connections on the sides of the radiator so you...

- Recommended Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Transmission Cooler for 2015 Honda Odyssey Starting with the trailer hitch for your 2015 Honda Odyssey I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III # 75270 because of its robust capacities (4,500 pounds towing and 675 pounds of tongue weight) indicating a stronger unit along with its simple installation process that just requires lining up the hitch to existing holes in the Odyssey's frame. I have attached an installation video on the 2015 Odyssey that you can use for reference. Then for trailer wiring the Tekonsha T-One # 118521 will...
view full answer... - Do I Need a Transmission Cooler for Trailer Towing with a 2017 Acura MDX?Adding a transmission cooler to your vehicle that is towing a trailer is usually a good idea. The extra weight added by the trailer and its cargo puts additional strain on your vehicle's transmission, causing it to run hotter which will shorten the life of your transmission in the long run. For your 2017 Acura MDX, I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13501. This is a Class II transmission cooler and uses turbulator plates for more efficient cooling.

CamperI did some research on your 2020 Toyota Highlander L, and it looks like your vehicle is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds. With this tow capacity, you will be able to safely tow without the need of a transmission cooler for your 4,000 pound trailer. As always, I recommend confirming with your owner's manual for the most accurate weight capacity rating. However, if you wish to extend the life of your transmission, I do recommend a transmission cooler like the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin...
view full answer... - Which Transmission Cooler is Recommended for a Nissan Frontier with 6,500 Pound Towing CapacityThe best way to decide which class cooler you need is to take a look at what you will be towing and where. If you will be towing a light load, less than 2,000 pounds, in flat driving conditions, your vehicle will do fine with a Class I. If you will be towing 6,000 pound load through some hills, I would use the Class III cooler. I prefer the 8000 and 9000 series. They are built a little heavier and are more resilient. The 7000 series are built a little lighter and can be damaged more easily...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Subaru Forester for TowingFor almost all situations I recommend going with a Class III hitch over a Class II when both are available for a vehicle. Especially if towing since the Class III hitches have higher capacities. For your 2013 Subaru Forester you would want the Draw Tite hitch part # 75650. I prefer the Draw Tite hitches as they don't require the stabilizer strap like part # 18050 that the Curt requires. For trailer wiring you then would want the part # 118467 which I attached an install video for as well. Since...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2004 Nissan Frontier Flat Towing a 1997 Geo TrackerThe best way to pick out a transmission cooler is to check out the area in front of the radiator to determine how big of a transmission cooler would fit in the available space. The bigger the cooler you can fit the better. Especially since you plan on towing something as heavy as a vehicle. The Derale Transmission Cooler part # D13501 that you referenced is a smaller plate and fin cooler that would work decently, but I would go with a bigger one if you can fit it. If you have the room...

They aren't required when towing, but they will definitely help reduce the stress on your 2011 Honda Pilot during this long trip. I recommend using the Derale # D13501 which is a plate fin cooler and will do a better job of dispersing the heat...

- Recommended Engine Oil Cooler for 2009 Toyota TacomaUsing a thermostatic engine sandwich adapter for an oil cooler set-up is recommended for those who live in areas that get cold temperatures in the winter. A thermostatically controlled cooler would allow your engine to heat up to normal operating temperature more quickly than one without a thermostat. Since Derale does not offer a single-circuit oil cooler kit that includes the thermostatic sandwich adapter, you will need to purchase it separately. I would recommend the # D15730 sandwich...

When you are towing a trailer you are limited to the lowest maximum weight capacity of the system. In this case it does not matter if you add a trailer hitch with a maximum weight limit greater than 1,500 lbs. Since the tow rating of your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica is 1,500 lbs, this is the weight limit you must adhere to. I recommend looking for a light trailer unless you really need the trailer. In that case, you will need a different...

Just remember that the more airflow and the larger the cooler is the better it will perform. So a large cooler with mediocre air flow may not be the best solution.

- Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2017 Ford Explorer with 2.3L Eco-Boost Engine I'll start out by saying that you're always limited by the lowest rated component in your towing setup, even if certain components are rated for higher weights; I believe the "Class II Trailer Tow Package" refers to factory installed towing components that likely include a transmission cooler (and possibly other parts), and not the Class rating of the hitch. It should also be noted that the available hitches for the 2017 Ford Explorer are all Class III hitches, which technically are rated...
