Stacked-plate heat exchangers have long been considered the most effective type of oil or transmission coolers, primarily because of their increased surface area. Allowing fluid to spread out over this larger surface area decreases the time required for heat transfer to take place. As a result, plate coolers typically manage to cool a greater volume of fluid faster than tube-and-fin, or even plate-and-fin, varieties. Add to that a powerful tornado fan that ensures optimum airflow at all times, no matter the environment, and you have a super-efficient heat exchange unit.

Awesome product! Received it yesterday. Custom fabricated brackets for it to mount below my auxiliary trans cooler on my 07 fx4 f150. Installed the on off switch on out side of transmission and the fan works great!

2010 Toyota Highlander
excellent quality product, I have intalled the fan/cooler on a toyota highlander 2010 without tow package not infront of the a/c radiator but exactly at the same place as toyota install the oem transmission cooler just behind the right fog light. I have a travel trailer of 3300 lbs dry, (4000lbs gross weight) and before my transmission temperature was around 215-220 F with a standard transmission cooler(without a fan) infront of the a/c radiator, but now with my new derale fan cooler, its around 180F after a long climb. I am totally satisfied. I had to build a bracket to fit the cooler in this tiny space behind the fog light, it took me 6-7 hours .

Mounted between fuel tank and transfer case. Larger 6.0 cooler would go in front of intercooler. Dont need anymore heat there. This was cheaper and works great in this position. Wrapped exhaust near the lines as they have to dump out on right side of trans. and I did not want any hard 90 degree turns with all this extra plumbing. Keeps temps way lower. Also installed oversize/cooler pan.
FYI using temp sensors in pan and in valve body. Pan is regularly 30 degrees cooler than valve body.

Easy install, and works as specified. Would put on future high performance vehicles

I was very impressed on quality and ruggedness. Its heavy and works great. This is a must in South Texas especially pulling a trail.

Love my engine oil cooler. I was having overheating problems with my Dodge truck while towing on a hot day. I asked the guys at etrailer if I should add a bigger radiator, and engine oil cooler or another tranny cooler. They nailed it when they recommended a supplemental engine oil cooler. I now can town my fifth wheel RV trailer on the hottest days and in the mountains without overheating. I do still have to watch the temps and if they start to get over 260 f or so I downshift a gear or two to get greater fluid flows. The only reason I am not giving this 5 stars is that with the supplied hose clamps I was plagued with constant slow leaks. I finally bought a much higher end hose Clamp which did solve the problem.

I was surprised at the lack of feedback on these products, and the differences in opinions. I tow a fare amount, between 7000lbs and 9500lbs. My vehicle is a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 8 speed transmission. ( outside temperature 20-30 deg Celsius ). Before I installed this engine cooler my temperature ran around 115 deg Celsius on a flat pull and 130 - 135 deg Celsius on most hills. After a hill it took a long time to drop in temperature, most time it hardly dropped. Now I rarely see 115 deg Celsius on a hill, and recovers to 100 deg Celsius very quickly. So in short I'm very happy with this product. I would recommend it to anyone that Tows.

Excellent product, quality parts and fittings for multiple installation platforms. Took about 4 hours to install but was a custom install under bed of truck.
by: Doug10/18/2015
Appears to be well-built and wasn't too hard to plumb in series with the existing oil cooler. Unfortunately with my 2010 Suburban it did not make any difference in the oil sump temperature shown by the computer - either daily driving or while towing. I plan on borrowing a laser thermometer to see what the actual input/output temps are.
by: Oscar04/27/2017
Great product. Keeps transmission oil cool. Happy with my purchase

- Derale Remote-Positioned Transmission Cooler for 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 5.3L 4WDA supplementary transmission cooler is an excellent addition to almost any towing vehicle and we have options for your 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 5.3L. If you have the specific transmission model 4L80E in your Suburban you can use pan-style cooler # D14207 from Derale. The benefit of a bolt-on pan cooler is that you actually add fluid capacity to your transmission system. This item does not simply radiate away heat like # D13503; it both radiates heat away and cools additionally by letting...
view full answer... - Mounting Of Derale Hyper-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit On 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HDI contacted our representative at Derale and he informed me that the Derale Hyper-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit With Fan, part # D13960, can be amounted anywhere. Since it uses a fan for cooling, it is not necessary to use the radiator for cooling as the fan is strong enough to provide cooling power. It may be beneficial for more cooling efficiency if you can mount it in front of the radiator, behind the bumper, but it is not required. Transmission fluid cannot be cooled too much...
view full answer... - Can You Run Larger Cooler Lines Into Smaller Openings?Generally speaking, you won't want to run a larger line into a smaller opening with an adapter because the difference will create a buildup of pressure that will likely cause the line to burst, but running a smaller inlet into a larger port is possible. I checked with Derale and they mentioned that running a smaller line into a larger port just means that not as much fluid is going to be pushed into the cooler and it will run less efficiently, but it won't damage the cooler. Derale does...

- Mounting The Derale Hyper-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit w/ Fan In 2013 GMC SierraFor your 2013 Sierra 1500, I recommend mounting the Derale Hyper-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit w/ Fan, -6 AN Inlets - Class V, # D13960, using your second option. I'd leave the stock cooler alone and mount the Derale cooler with fan in front of the passenger wheel well. The stock cooler location will allow that cooler to function at its potential and then you can add the Derale cooler, which can function almost anywhere with its attached fan to further cool your transmission. This...

I have included a link to them below. 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...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2000 Ford F-350 with 7.3 Liter and Heavy TowingA large cooler like # D13105 that you have referenced would be a good choice. The larger the cooler and the more airflow it can get the more efficient it will be in cooling the transmission fluid. You may also need to add fitting # D13025 so you will not have to cut and flare lines. But I think you would benefit more from a remote cooler that has its own fan like # D13960. That way you will always get the optimum amount of cooling all the time. I have included a link to our FAQ article...
view full answer... - Can a Transmission Cooler be Used to Bypass the Radiator on a 32ft Motor HomeI verified with my contact at Derale that the Derale Hyper-Cool Transmission Cooler, # D15960, will work to bypass your radiator and cool your transmission fluid. One important thing to consider when installing a transmission cooler is the size of your transmission lines. If the diameter of your transmission lines are 1/2 inch in diameter, then you will want to go with the transmission cooler that you referenced. If your transmission lines are 3/8 inch in diameter, then you will want the...

It is our understanding that the transmission cooler is actually inside the radiator. If you were to go this route then you will need to find the largest aftermarket cooler you can find. For this application I recommend the Derale Hyper-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler...
view full answer... - Selecting Installation Location for Derale Hyper-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler D13960Since transmission coolers are not vehicle-specific you'll want to compare the dimensions of the Derale Hyper-Cool # D13960 (13- wide x 10- tall x 5-5/8-inches deep) to the available mounting locations in your engine compartment. Flexibility in mounting point is one of the advantages of a fan-powered cooler. Since they don't rely on passive air flow for cooling they'll work effectively almost anywhere you can fit one. Coolers like this Derale Hyper-Cool are intended to supplement the OEM...
view full answer... - Oil and Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser For Off-Road RacingSince you want to cool both engine oil and transmission fluid for a demanding off-road racing application I suggest you go with two separate coolers rather than a dual-core combination cooler. My contact at Derale confirmed the best options for your FJ Cruiser are their # D13960 Class V fan-powered Hyper-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler and their # D15660 Hyper-Cool Remote Engine Cooler. Derale runs their own off-road racing events and my technical contact was very clear that for your...

I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

The fan's 500-CFM (cubic-feet-per-minute) airflow cools your transmission fluid no matter your driving speed, unlike passive coolers like the Derale # D13503 that rely on air flow from your driving speed to cool your transmission.

The best, as in the most amount of cooling, is going to be a remote cooler with its own fan like # D13960. It does not matter where this cooler gets mounted because its fan offers the optimum amount of cooling all the time. Otherwise for a standard cooler that would require air flow I recommend # D13105. Its large surface area will provide plenty of cooling for your trucks transmission. To avoid cutting and flaring lines...

Your '02 Grand Cherokee should have a 3/8" rubber hose (though I do recommend verifying this), so what you will need instead is the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Dodge and Jeep # D13028.

The reason is because it's a stacked-plate cooler, which means it gives you the most surface area with which to cool fluids. As for mounting, there isn't a recommended or suggested spot on specific vehicles for these types of coolers. They are designed in order to fit in any location where there is space, and an experienced installer will...

- Can Derale Hyper-Cool Remote Mount Transmission Cooler Install on Front of RadiatorYes you could install the Derale HyperCool Remote Mount Transmission Cooler part # D13960 in front of your radiator.

The part # D13960 is the more efficient style of cooler as it has a stacked plate whereas the # D13950 is a plate and fin cooler which is still really effective but not quite as effective as the stacked plate. Now both of these are easily more powerful than you'd need to get the job done so if you go with either you'll have very cool transmission fluid that will...

You'll also use Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting # D13035. The Hyper-Cool measures 13- wide x 10- tall x 5-5/8-inches deep and it will draw a maximum of 4.8 amps.

It is possible to bypass the factory cooler in the radiator by blocking off the input/output locations for the transmission cooler on the radiator. You would then need to mount the largest possible cooler that you can get to fit or install a remote cooler with its own fan. The Series 9000 Plate-Fin...
