• Recommendations for Cooling a C4 Transmission in a 1966 Ford Bronco Rock Crawler
  It sounds to me like you will definitely want to upgrade your transmission cooler. Since you will not have a cooler that is being cooled by the fluid running through the radiator, I agree that you will need to upgrade or add a cooler to your system. Heat Sink Coolers like the Dual-Pass Heat Sink Transmission Cooler, item # D13266, that you referenced are not nearly as efficient as a plate and fin cooler or a cooler with an electric fan added. If you are running an electric fan with high...

• Proper Clearance for Derale Series 9000 Transmission Cooler Part # D13614 in 2010 Chevy Impala
  The Derale Series 9000 Transmission cooler can mount either in font of or behind the radiator. The unit measures 11 inches in length, 11-3/8 tall (including mounting tabs) and 1-1/4 inches thick. As this is not a vehicle-specific product, you will have to examine and measure the areas in front of and behind your radiator to see if the proper clearance exists. The preferred mounting location would be in front of the radiator for maximum air flow. Installing the cooler behind the radiator...

• Best Transmission Cooler for Off-Roading in a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser in Year-Round Warm Climate
  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...

• Which Transmission Cooler would be Good for a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 used for Snow Plowing
  With the kinds of load that a plow truck would be pushing, I would recommend using a transmission cooler on the large end, especially since it is a 1/2 ton truck. The Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Class V cooler you were looking at would be a good choice. They radiate plenty of heat due to their all aluminum construction. The cooler measures 11 inches wide, 11-3/8 inches tall and 1-1/4 thick. Locate an area in front of your engine radiator that you would like to mount the cooler and make...

• Is 200 Degrees too Hot for Transmission Fluid of 2009 Chevy Tahoe
  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.

• Can the Factory Transmission Cooler be Bypassed on a 2005 Chevy Tahoe
  If you choose to bypass the factory transmission cooler on your 2005 Chevy Tahoe then I recommend a large cooler that will fit and the most efficient design. If it were me I would go with cooler kit # D13614. It is rated ad a Class V, extra efficient, which would definitely work better than the factory cooler. Remember that you will need to plug the factory cooler inlet and outlet if you bypass it with this method. I have linked a video review of this cooler and a link to our help article...

• Can a Supplemental Transmission Cooler be Used to Bypass Factory Cooler on 1996 Chevy K1500
  A lot of people want to bypass the factory transmission coolers located inside the radiator. It is permissible to do so provided that the cooler is efficient enough. For this we recommend either going with the largest cooler that will fit in the engine compartment or the most efficient design. The most efficient design is a stacked plate such as # D13403. If you want to go with a plate fin design you can use # D13614. These are both rated as Class V which is the highest available. Another...

• Identifying Transmission Return Line for Installation of Derale Class V Cooler # D13614
  You want to install the Derale supplementary transmission cooler # D13614 on the return line from the radiator. You'll need Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting # D13035. To determine which line is the return line you will want to start with your truck totally cooled off. Start the truck and put it in drive, apply the brakes firmly and then apply the accelerator slightly so that the engine RPMs climb for a few moments. Put the truck back in park and shut it off. Now go out and feel the two...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2007 GMC Yukon XL
  Both transmission cooler # D13504 and # D13614 can be used on your 2007 GMC Yukon XL. The difference is the capacity. The larger # D13614 has more capacity so it is more efficient but it also takes up more space. If the larger cooler fits I recommend going with it. You can use fitting # D13035 with either cooler to avoid having to cut and flare lines.

• Recommended Transmission Cooler For 1995 Ford F250 With 7.3L Diesel Powerstroke Engine
  The Derale Transmission Cooler, part # D13614 is designed to work with your 1995 F-250 with the 7,3L diesel. Since you said you have a small cooler already I recommend running the fluid through the cooler you have and then through the # D13614, and then through the radiator. This would be the optimal way to cool your fluid. To make it much easier to install the hoses it is recommended to use part # D13024 if you have 1/2-inch-20 threads. If you have 1/4 or 3/8 inch NPT-trans-line fittings...

• Recommended Derale Transmission Cooler for 1997 GMC Safari
  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...

• Will a 3/8 Hose Fit an 11/16 Inch Fitting to Install a Transmission Cooler on a 2006 GMC Sierra
  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...

• Recommended Transmission Cooler and Locating Transmission Return Line on 2007 Chevy Avalanche
  The return line is typically the bottom line, but you should confirm by doing the following. Start cold engine, place the transmission in drive for about 10 seconds, then shift back to park and shut motor off. Then, feel the upper and lower transmission lines. One line should be noticeably cooler than the other. The cooler of the two lines would be the return. Since you cannot over cool a transmission, we recommend choosing the largest cooler that will fit into the space available....

• Does the Installation of Derale 15902 on 2015 Toyota 4Runner Require the Use of the Sandwich Adapter
  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...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2010 Ford F-150
  We do have several transmission coolers that use NPT 1/2 inch fittings though the hose size may be different. It is the inner diameter that you would need to know. The 1/2 inch NPT cooler use a 3/8 inch inner diameter hose. Since transmission fluid cannot be over cooled, the largest cooler that will fit in the engine compartment is recommended. In the 1/2 NPT category, the largest we carry is # D13614 that you have referenced. I have included a link to a video review of this cooler and...

• Can the Factor Transmission Cooler be Bypassed on a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0
  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...

• Which Transmission Fluid Line to Access for Installing Secondary Cooler
  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...

• Recommendation for Cooling the Coolant and Transmission Fluid Temperature on a 2008 Chevy Avalanche
  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...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500HD
  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.

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.

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.

• Replacement Transmission Cooler for 2017 Ford Explorer
  It is possible to bypass the original cooler and install a cooler like the # D33504 Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler. It is typically recommended to install this with your factory cooler to assist in the cooling process. I would not recommend this if you plan on doing some heavy towing. Since this would be the only transmission cooler, you will want to use a larger model like a class IV or V. The # D33504 Derale I already mentioned is a Class IV plate-fin cooler that is...
