  • What is the Additional Oil Capacity from Adding Derale Oil Cooler # D15551
  • My contact at Derale advised that the approximate additional oil capacity resulting from the installation of their oil cooler # D15551 will be in the vicinity of 7 - 8 fluid ounces. This can vary depending on the length of the oil lines since some vehicles/installations may use all of the supplied hose while others do not. It is always best to check your dipstick to ensure you are operating your vehicle with the correct amount of engine oil.

  • Will Transmission Cooler Resolve Mixed Coolant Issues On A 2005 Nissan Frontier
  • 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....

  • Does Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler Require Draining Fluid
  • Good question but no, you do not need to drain your transmission fluid when installing the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13503. The hole doesn't need to be plugged with a rag either - like you, I'm not 100 percent sure how that would work. You do have the right idea - basically work quickly, a drip pan isn't a bad idea, and do as much planning beforehand in regards to where the hoses are going to run, cutting them the right length, etc. You'll need to add some...

  • How Much Will Transmission Cooler D13105 Lower Fluid Temperature on a 1999 Ford F-250
  • There are other factors involved including ambient temperature and elevation and so on but I am confident that by adding transmission cooler # D13105 to your 1999 Ford F-250 you could see a drop of 10 to 20 degrees in the transmission fluid temperature. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. I had a smaller one on a smaller vehicle and the fluid temp dropped 10 to 12 degrees so I know that it would lower it more on a truck that has more fluid capacity and more room...

  • Transmission On 2013 Ford Escape Is Overheating When Being Flat-Towed
  • I checked out the owner's manual for a 2013 Ford Escape and looked at the section about flat-towing, (recreational towing) in the manual. Per the manual it states that it is not to be flat-towed or it would run the risk of damaging the transmission. This applies to both the 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive Escapes. Installing a transmission cooler like part # D13502 would only help cool the transmission fluid when the engine is running and the fluid is moving through the system. If...

  • Speed Shut Off of Derale Adjustable Fan-Control Thermostat # D16789
  • The Derale Adjustable Fan Control Thermostat you referenced, part # D16789 will not shut off at a certain vehicle speed, but at an adjustable fluid temperature. The temperature at which the fan turns on is adjustable between 150-240 degrees Fahrenheit. The fan automatically shuts off once the fluid cools by 10 degrees. So, say you set the thermostat to turn the fan on once the coolant reaches 190 degrees. At 190, it would turn on and run until the coolant reached 180 degrees.

  • How Much Cooler Can I Expect To See My Transmission Temperatures On My 2016 GMC Canyon?
  • While there is not a specified amount of temperature that the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13503 will lower the transmission temperature of your 2016 GMC Canyon, most of the reviews that I have seen claim temperatures that average about 20 degrees cooler. Of course this will vary from vehicle to vehicle and driving conditions. A Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting # D13035 will be needed to install the cooler on to your Canyon. This will fit into place of the...

  • Cooling Features of Transmission Cooler for 2010 Nissan Altima
  • 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...

  • What Parameters Can Be Monitored With Edge Insight Gauge Display # EP84030 on 2014 Kia Sorento
  • My representative in the Edge tech services department tells me that they have not tested their Insight CS2 # EP84030 on your particular vehicle, so he could not say which individual parameters would be monitored. It would almost certainly monitor things like coolant temperature and throttle position through the engine computer, and there's a good probability that the unit would also read the transmission fluid and oil temperatures, but you'd need to try the unit first to see if it would...

  • Maximum and Typical Horsepower and Torque Gains from Airaid CAD Cold Air Intake System AR402-299
  • The Airaid CAD Cold Air Intake System # AR402-299 which fits your 2014 Ford F-150 with 5.0L V8 can deliver at the very most under ideal circumstances an additional 17-horse power and an additional 16-ft-lbs of torque. This means that under "typical conditions" in a "typical vehicle" you might safely expect to achieve about half of this maximum gain. It is difficult for Airaid to quote typical/average gains since they do not actually have access to hundreds of customers' vehicles to allow...

  • No Power to Voyager Camera on 2019 Ram 1500
  • The issue regarding a boosted connection to the camera is generally on newer Chevy/GMC vehicles, but it's not unheard of on Ram trucks. So what you can try is a PWM (pulse-width modulation) filter, which allows a steady 12 volts to the camera system instead of fluctuating power. The correct part number is the following: - 12V PWM Filter for RV Backup Camera Systems # VGR64VR

  • What is Normal Operating Temperature Range for an Automatic Transmission
  • Because there are so many variables that dictate what a transmission's temperature will be, it's not possible to point to a 'typical' temperature, but there's definitely an acceptable range. The ambient temperature, the speed the vehicle is traveling at, the elevation, the type of terrain you're driving in, how heavily the vehicle is loaded and whether or not the air conditioning is running will all influence how hot the transmission fluid gets. Strictly speaking, 175-210ยบ is roughly the...

  • Are Additional Coolers Needed to Tow With 2019 Honda CR-V
  • Those are good questions and your 2019 Honda CR-V does have coolers already and additional coolers are not needed with the CVT transmission in this vehicle. I took a look at the owner's manual as well and it does address the issue by saying that towing a trailer will require you to change your transmission fluid every 25,000 miles, which is more often than if you were not towing. Since you do plan on towing, make sure you get the best equipment for your journey, and for your 2019 Honda...

  • Are Legs of Swagman Exo Aero Kayak Carrier Adjustable
  • I believe you're asking if the legs of the carrier are adjustable, is that correct? If so, the legs are unfortunately not adjustable. I'll link you to our selection of kayak carriers. You can look at the filters in the left hand column to narrow your search down according to the shape of the crossbars on your vehicle, your preferred brand, how many kayaks you're wanting to carry the preferred style of carrier, etc.

  • Can Derale Fan Spacer Kit Be Used With Fan That Has Clutch
  • I called my contact at Derale and asked about the spacer kit, part # D31550 for your vehicle. They told me you would not be bale to install the spacer with the clutch installed but many people remove the clutch and replace it with the spacer. They said you would also need to replace the fan. I have attached a link to our product page for belt-driven fans you can check out. You can use the filters on the page to find the right diameter replacement fan you need and use it to bolt up to...

  • Available Pre-Mounted Trailer Wheel/Tire Products
  • Yes, the combination wheel and tire products we sell for trailers will come from the distributor already mounted together and will be inflated. The wheels/tires will be mounted so that the tire's light spot will be placed at the wheel's heavy spot which provides a degree of balancing that is fine for trailer tires. Trailer tires do not need the full dynamic balancing that is required by passenger vehicle tires, which must be machine balanced. You can use the linked page to select your...

  • How Long Does The Kats Heaters Circulating Tank Heater Take To Warm Up
  • For starters, the Kat's Heaters Thermostatically Controlled Circulating Tank Heater part # KH13150 would most likely not bring the engine up to operating temperature as that is not its intended purpose. The purpose of the unit is to preheat the engine to a reasonable temperature before startup. Unfortunately, there would be no way to give an accurate figure as to how long the Kat's Heaters Thermostatically Controlled Circulating Tank Heater part # KH13150 will take to warm your fluids...
