With transmission coolers there are different styles. The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets, part # D13503, you referenced is a plate and fin cooler and actually performs differently than a tube and fin style cooler. I have attached a FAQ article that explains the difference in transmission coolers and how they work. I have also linked you to a product review video for this cooler.
A plate and fin cooler is more efficient because it causes the fluid to... view full answer...
The fitting needed will depend on both the transmission cooler and the lines for the transmission. Some transmission coolers use slip-on fittings in which case nothing other than a hose clamp is needed. Others use NPT threaded fittings and others still use AN thread fittings.
You will need to trace the lines back to the transmission to find out which line is the sending line and which is the return line. If you will retain use of the factory transmission cooler, you will want the fluid... view full answer...
Transmission coolers are not always listed for vehicle because they are not vehicle specific.
You can choose the transmission cooler you want as long as you have sufficient room. I have attached a drawing that shows the best locations to install a cooler on a vehicle.
If you have enough room I recommend a cooler like part # D13503. This is a plate-fin cooler that measures 11 x 8-3/4 x 7/8 inches.

The aftermarket transmission coolers that we sell are designed to work with a factory installed unit. These coolers are not intended to replace the original factory cooler.
For your vehicle, adding just an addition cooler will help cool down your transmission. The stacked-plate transmission cooler design, like # D13401, is the I recommend for your 2008 Ford F-150. The stacked-plate design will give you the most efficient cooling option for your set up. This cooler also only measures 2... view full answer...
When the lines on a transmission cooler like part # D13503 are referred to the inlet line is from the radiator output. The output line is then connected to the transmission.
This is because the factory transmission cooler is surrounded by coolant and will be a little cooler when going into the aftermarket cooler like part # D13503.
I have attached a drawing that shows how the coolant lines are run when using an aftermarket cooler. view full answer...
We do have all aluminum coolers available, they are the 6000 series coolers from Derale. Checkout the Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin, part # D12901, which is an all aluminum cooler.
The # D12901 cooler measures 13 inches wide, 5 inches tall, and is 3/4 inches thick. You will need to measure to see if you will have room on your snowmobile to mount the cooler. We do not have an aluminum tube fin cooler as small as the Derale # D13212 cooler that you referenced.

No, the Derale # D13403 is not considered a low pressure transmission cooler. All Derale Coolers are rated at 250 PSI and 300 PSI burst strength. The only Low pressure coolers I have heard of are the Tru-Cool brand and unfortunately we do not carry them here at etrailer. view full answer...
Using a combination transmission/oil cooler on your Tacoma with the V6 engine will work great. For maximum cooling ability, mount the cooler between the Tacoma's grille and the AC condenser core. I have included a photo that shows the best location for the cooler, and also attached a link to a couple of helpful articles.

Although it is always a great idea to add supplemental coolers to help improve overall engine performance, from the information you have provided, I think the issue may be something other than the transmission being overworked, I would have an auto service check out the vehicle to eliminate other potential causes for the overheating problem. After any issues are taken care of and it is running properly, we do offer some cooler options for you.

As long as the aftermarket part that you install on your vehicle is both installed correctly and operates within the parameters of the intent, consumers of aftermarket products are protected by the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you have added to your vehicle actually caused the problem in question.

The orientation of the inlet and outlet does not matter when installing a transmission oil cooler on your 1993 Chevrolet 1500.

There are a few transmission coolers that fit your 2010 Chevy Avalanche and the price will vary. I included a link showing you all the transmission coolers we currently offer for you to look at.
Your Avalanche will have a factory cooling system but not a transmission cooler. Obtaining one will prolong the life of your transmission and improve it's overall performance.

You will want to use the transmission cooler's return line to drain and flush the transmission cooler. This is the cooler of the two lines between the transmission and the cooler. Running the engine and shifting the car into gear for a few seconds is usually enough to let you feel which line is warmer. The return line is the other cooler line. view full answer...
Any of the transmission coolers we sell are designed more as a supplemental cooler that is meant to augment the factory transmission cooler portion of the radiator, not replace it entirely.
If you are having the common problem with the radiator leaking causing the engine coolant contaminating the transmission fluid, your best bet would be to have the original radiator replaced. Nissan has extended the factory warranties on radiators on 2005-2010 Frontier, Pathfinder and Xterra models.... view full answer...
If indeed your Edge already has a transmission cooler, and it is the same one that would have come with the vehicle had it been equipped with the Factory Towing Package, you do not need to add an additional cooler.
I would strongly recommend verifying that the cooler you have is the same as with the tow package. Towing near the upper limit of the vehicle towing capacity is hard on a transmission, having a cooler is essential.
I would also recommend verifying the towing capacity of your... view full answer...
There is nothing that can be done to raise the towing capacity of your 2019 Ford Explorer, it is set by Ford, and no aftermarket products, including a transmission cooler like the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13503, will change that.
A secondary transmission cooler (as well as oil cooler) is a supplemental aspect of your vehicle's performance, helping ensure a longer-lasting, more efficient cooling system, so that's the benefit of the # D13503, but upping your towing... view full answer...
According to the folks at Derale, their # D13403 transmission cooler would be expected to handle a GVWR up to 26.500 lbs.

Tundra is very likely equipped with a transmission cooler that's internally integrated into the radiator (which is why you didn't see one in front of the radiator). In addition to the rubber radiator hoses, there will be a metal supply and return line to the transmission. A supplemental cooler like the # FLX400030 is designed to install inline on the return line leading back to the transmission from the radiator. Since this cooler doesn't include the fittings or hoses needed for installation,... view full answer...
