Typically the best setup is to use a supplemental transmission cooler along with the factory cooler instead of bypassing the factory cooler. What this means is that your transmission fluid will travel from the transmission to the factory cooler and then to the supplemental cooler like the part # D13504.
When picking out a transmission cooler the best way to do it is to measure the distance in front of the radiator and pick the largest cooler that will fit the area.

Transmission coolers are universal items. What you will need to do is find out how much room you have to work with in front of your radiator and find a transmission cooler that will fit your application. Choosing a large cooler like part # D13502, would be a good choice for your 2013 Ford Explorer, because you cannot over-cool a transmission.
Part # D13502 has significantly more cooling ability than your factory set up. If you are towing a load, up to 5,000 pounds, this transmission cooler... view full answer...
I would strongly recommend to add an aftermarket transmission cooler to your 2005 Ford Excursion 6.8L vehicle to prevent any damage to your transmission. The ideal operating temperature range of your transmission fluid should be 160 to 200 degrees. Adding the cooler will not bypass the existing factory cooler which is located inside the radiator. Adding a cooler provides supplemental cooling to the your factory cooler.

Nearly all vehicles that benefit from a supplemental transmission cooler have a factory transmission cooler built into the radiator like what your 2007 Grand Caravan SXT has. Since the factory cooler is connected to the radiator that means the heat from the coolant flowing through the radiator is going to keep the factory transmission cooler warmer than ideal. In nearly every situation a supplemental transmission cooler will give the transmission of any vehicle a longer life since heat... view full answer...
The item you selected, Derale Radiator Adapter Fitting, part # D13018, is the adapter fitting needed for a transmission cooler for your 1999 GMC Yukon. Part # D13018 comes with a quantity of 2 which you will need to install a transmission cooler on your vehicle.

If you want to install a transmission and oil cooler, then the Derale Combination Transmission and Engine Oil Cooler # D15902 would be a great option. If I had to choose one over the other, I would go with a transmission cooler to improve towing performance and minimize wear and tear on your Dodge Caravan's transmission. The plate-fin transmission cooler kit # D13503 is a popular and reliable choice. The most efficient cooler installation location is in front of the AC condenser.

In most cases the factory transmission cooler in a vehicle is adequate at best. I would recommend you install a transmission cooler such as the Transmission Cooler # D13501 that you referenced on your 2005 Toyota Sienna.
You will want to do some measuring to see what will fit in front of your radiator but in most cases you will want to go with the biggest transmission cooler you can fit there. If possible I would put a Derale Transmission Cooler, part # D13504. This cooler measures 11... view full answer...
Nearly every vehicle with an automatic transmission has a transmission cooler. I would guarantee that your 2007 Dodge Caravan has one, especially since your local Dodge dealer told you the same.
Typically, the factory transmission coolers of vehicles are adequate at best when you are not towing so I would recommend you get a supplemental transmission cooler as well.

You would want to route the Derale cooler after the factory cooler. By that, I mean you would want to run the transmission coolant line from the transmission, to the factory cooler, then to the # D13503, and finally back to the transmission cooler.
Routing the coolers in that order is crucial, if you were to run the cooler before the factory cooler you would effectively be cooling the fluid and then reheating it as it would go through the factory cooler, which will be the same temperature... view full answer...
The factory transmission cooler on just about any vehicle is not really designed for towing applications. Since transmission fluid cannot be over-cooled, I do recommend adding a supplemental transmission cooler especially when towing.
Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, but some vehicles may need a special fitting for installation. I would need to know the year, make, and model of the vehicle to determine if it needs anything special.

I have done some research on your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD with the diesel engine and the Allison transmission. Due to the size of the coolant lines on your transmission, installation of an in-line transmission cooler would restrict the flow of fluid needed for the transmission. This restriction in fluid could result in higher transmission temperatures and result in damage to the transmission.

Since you are looking for both a transmission cooler and an engine oil cooler I would recommend you consider getting a combination transmission cooler/engine oil cooler. If you use a combination cooler it will help simplify the installation process because it will reduce the amount of coolers that need to be installed.

The best transmission cooler for your 2019 Ram 3500 with a 6.7L Diesel Engine is the Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler # D13504 because it is the most efficient cooler available for your Ram 3500.
This transmission cooler is a plate-and-fin cooler, which means it uses smaller plates that cover more area than other coolers in order to agitate transmission fluid. Because you cannot overcool fluids, the rule of thumb with transmission coolers is you want the largest one that will fit,... view full answer...
The best way to select the correct transmission cooler is by determining where there is enough space to mount it.
The attached diagram shows the best three positions to mount the transmission cooler in order. Transmission coolers are more efficient when they receive maximum air flow. The "A" transmission cooler location in the diagram is 100% efficient so a larger transmission cooler is not needed to compensate for the loss of cooling power.

There will more than likely be some sort of transmission cooler on most modern vehicles for the exception of those equipped with a manual/standard transmission. I do not believe the manual transmission was an option on a 2014 Ford Expedition therefore it is safe to say that your vehicle is equipped with some sort of transmission cooler.
However, most of the time the transmission coolers on these vehicles except for heavy duty trucks are suited for everyday driving but not necessarily frequent... view full answer...
The plate-fin transmission coolers are more efficient than the tube-fin transmission coolers. Both types of coolers operate the same, but the plate-fin coolers uses smaller plates to allow more fluid to contact the aluminum surface inside the cooler. More surface contact results in greater heat dissipation.

If the CVT transmission on your 2008 Nissan Altima has cooling lines that run from the transmission to the radiator, you can install a transmission cooler. If it does not have these lines running, then an after-market transmission cooler is not recommended. The concern centers around the fact that any changes to the system from a cooler installation will affect the fluid pressure, which will in turn affect shifting performance.
If you are unsure, I recommend checking with a local Nissan... view full answer...
Transmission fluid should run below 200 degrees Fahrenheit. At 240 degrees you definitely need to make some sort of change to reduce the temperature. I would first recommend having the transmission checked by a qualified automotive technician to be sure it is performing properly. This will assure you that no damage has been caused to the transmission and you will not be stranded. Installing a transmission cooler will not reverse any damage that may have already been caused.
