• Will the Derale Atomic-Cool Transmission Cooler Fit on a 2009 Silverado 1500 Z71 4WD
  The ideal operating temperature for transmission fluid should remain between 160 and 200 degrees. If your transmission fluid was reaching 195 degrees when towing your fifth wheel trailer, it would be a good idea to either upgrade your factory added cooler or add an additional transmission cooler because this temperature could increase if you are towing on in hot weather or through hills where the engine and transmission will be working harder than on flat ground. Installing a remote mount...

• How to Select Best Transmission Cooler for 2012 Chevy Silverado
  The best transmission cooler for your 2012 Chevy Silverado is going to be the largest one that fits. A unit with a fan will give your truck optimum cooling power, but you do need to measure to ensure that you have enough room for this type of cooler to fit because a unit with a fan will take up more room. For example, the Derale 16-Pass Electra-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler # D15900 measures 15-3/4" wide x 11-1/2 " tall x 5" deep so you would need to find that amount of space under...

• Transmission Cooler and Install Location for 2008 GMC Yukon Denali
  You will want to install a supplemental transmission cooler on the return line of your correct transmission cooler. This means the fluid first goes into the factory cooler and then goes into the supplemental cooler before going back to the transmission. For a cooler for your 2008 GMC Yukon the Derale part # D13504 would be a really great option that's larger in size and a very efficient style. As long as you install this out in front of your current radiator/condenser setup this will work...

• What Is the Amp Draw of the Derale Atomic-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit D13950
  The Derale Atomic-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit part # D13950 will draw up to 4.8 amps. In regards to fluid capacity, this is not a figure that Derale provides. That said if the reason you are asking this is to determine how much fluid needs to be added to the system in order to account for the increased fluid capacity, I would say around 1/4-1/2 quart but this will vary mostly based on the length of line used so it is best to check and then add as needed.

• Will Derale Atomic Cool Remote Coolers # D13950 Block Air Flow to Radiator Significantly
  A transmission cooler mounted out in front of the radiator would impede the air flow in a small amount but what we've found is that at higher speeds like that there's enough air flowing through the coolers that the effect is very minimal and nearly all the time not noticeable.

• Do Inlet And Outlet Ports Need To Be Mounted In A Particular Direction On Derale Cooler, # D13950
  The ports on the Derale Atomic-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler Kit w/ Fan, # D13950, do not need to be mounted in any particular direction. The transmission cooler is not directional so having the inlet on the top or bottom does not matter. You will want to choose the inlet or outlet port location by what will make your installation easier. Since this cooler comes with a fan-mounted heat exchanger you can mount the exchanger wherever you want because the fan will provide optimum airflow.

• Transmission Cooler Options and Installation for a 2009 Chevy Equinox Pulling a 2,800 Pound Trailer
  I am not sure what, if any, benefit new cooler lines would offer. But the right transmission cooler will do the trick. If your 2009 Chevy Equinox has the 3.4 liter engine, we have several options. I recommend the Derale Transmission Cooler, # D12901. This has the simplest, tube fin design. It is fairly small so it should be easy to find the best mounting point. There are essentially three places to mount a transmission cooler. The best place is between the grille and AC condenser core....

• How to Determine Which is the Return Line on the Factory Transmission Cooler of 2006 Chevy Equinox
  I can tell you an easy way to figure out which line is the return line and which is the feed line on the transmission cooler of your 2006 Chevy Equinox. When your car is cold go out and start it up and put it in drive for 10 seconds. Now put it back in park and shut it off. Go out and feel both coolant lines, the cooler of the two is the return line. The installers use this trick here all the time. I attached a couple FAQ articles on transmission coolers for you to check out also.

• Bypassing Factory Transmission Cooler on a 2006 Ford F-250 with 5.4 Liter
  If the chamber walls inside the radiator that separate the transmission cooling portion with the coolant portion have cracked, ruptured, or are otherwise leaking then you would have to either replace the radiator or plug up the transmission fluid inlet and outlet ports on the radiator and instead use a supplemental cooler as the main cooler. In this situation I recommend a remote cooler such as # D13950 that will have its own fan. That way you are ensured to get the optimum amount of cooling...

• Comparing Plate Fin Oil Cooler With Fan Remote Cooler For a 2011 Ford F-150 With 3.5L EcoBoost
  Typically a Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13503 is all you are going to need to help keep your transmission cool when towing. A cooler with fan like the Derale Atomic-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler # D13950 is typically a better option if you are only towing in areas where you constantly deal with stop and go traffic. I would not worry about having braided lines as even the factory hoses on your 2011 Ford F-150 are not braided. You should also consider adding a...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2012 Chevy Silverado Towing 6,000 lb Boat
  A transmission cooler is a really great idea for your Dad's truck as the temperature range you mentioned is too hot to allow a transmission to survive very long. I'd recommend the Derale part # D13504 as it's a plate fin cooler which is one of the most efficient styles and is larger at 11" Wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep so it's going to do a really great job reducing the temperatures to a much safer range. For an adapter to fit the truck's radiator to make the install of the cooler easy...

• Which Derale Remote Transmission Cooler for 2010 Chevy Silverado 4.8 Liter D13950 or D13960
  Both the Derale transmission coolers you mentioned would work great installed on your 2010 Chevy Silverado with a 4.8 liter V8. 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...

• Transmission Cooler Suggestion for Towing in the Mountains with 2012 Chevy Silverado
  Unless you live in Alaska or northern portions of Canada where it's below freezing for a good part of the year, we recommend getting the largest transmission cooler that will fit in the most efficient mounting spot which is directly behind the grille, in front of the radiator. The Derale # D13504 measures 11x12, and would offer plenty of cooling to protect your transmission from the extra heat generated when negotiating mountainous terrain like the western Carolinas. The cooler would install...

• Can a Transmission Cooler Bypass the Factory Cooler on a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder
  A lot of people with Nissan vehicles are looking to bypass the factory cooler contained in the radiator like on your 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. The coolers we carry are designed to supplement the factory cooler although some people have used them to replace the factory cooler. You would want to go with the largest cooler possible if you bypass the factory cooler and the inlet/outlets on the radiator for the factory cooler will have to be plugged. Or instead of the largest cooler you would...

• Reducing Transmission Heat When Towing with 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid
  I checked the online owner's manual for the 2008 GMC Yukon hybrid and on page 4-22 it notes that the maximum loaded trailer weight this vehicle can tow is 6200-lbs (if 2WD) or 6000-lbs (if 4WD). If your unloaded trailer's dry weight is 6700-lbs then the vehicle may well be heating up from being overloaded. You might check your printed manual just in case it has different information about towing capacity. It is not possible to add towing capacity to a vehicle by installing aftermarket...

• Remote Mounted Transmission Cooler for 2002 Ford F250 with 7.3L Diesel
  If you do not have the necessary space directly behind the grille, a remote mount cooler with a fan would be your best bet for maximum cooling efficiency. A stacked plate cooler/ fan combo like part # D13950 offers a good balance between performance and relatively small size. You will want to mount the cooler in a protected location that has sufficient air flow to allow the fan to push air through the cooler. Ideally, you want to see your transmission cooler temperature below 200 degrees. For...

• Recommended Remote Mounted Transmission Cooler for 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser with Supercharged Engine
  Rather than a passive cooler like the # D13225, in order to get effective supplemental cooling for your transmission you'll really need a remote mount cooler with a fan. The # D13225 cooler you'd looked at would get very little air flow if mounted on your frame rail, and given the fact that you've obviously made some pretty serious upgrades to your engine you'll want something that's more effective as a passive cooler would be nearly useless. I'd recommend the Derale # D13950 which can...
