Expert Answers about Vehicle Fluid Filter
- Micron Rating of Derale Filter 13092 and Fluid Control Thermostat Kit for Transmission Cooler
- I spoke with my contact at Derale and on the Replacement Filter # D13092 it has a micron rating of 21. He stated that you do not want to go more fine than that because it can strip out the abrasives in the transmission fluid that are needed for proper operation of the transmission.
We carry different Derale thermostat kits that basically work the same way the thermostat does in a vehicle. There is no need for this for a supplemental transmission cooler unless you live in a cool climate...

- There is almost always a value in reducing the operating temperatures of the fluids in a vehicle. This is particularly true when it will bear the burden of towing, but it remains true for vehicles like yours that will not tow a trailer. The climate in your area may also play a role in determining the merits of a power steering, oil or transmission fluid cooler. In areas with high outside temperatures, fluid coolers are often considered essential by many drivers. I have included a link to...

- When installing a transmission cooler it is not necessary to pre-fill the cooler with fluid. That will only cause a bigger mess most likely. It's not like an oil filter where it's a good idea to pre-fill before installing it.
You'll just want to install the cooler and then after that's completed check the fluid level on the dipstick and add additional fluid as needed. I'd grab an extra quart to have ready as typically some fluid gets lost during the install process and then you'll need...

- The Derale Transmission Pan Cooler, part # D14207, will install in place of your factory transmission pan. You can use the factory transmission filter on your 1999 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD 7.4L engine.
The Derale # D14207 pan cooler is larger than the factory pan and will increase the fluid capacity by 4-1/2 quarts, but will not require a deep filter adapter because the fluid will be around the cooling tubes at the bottom of the pan. It provides additional cooling by using the cooling tubes...

- Based on my research the 1998 Fleetwood Bounder M-36S Class A RV with the Ford 460 engine is based on the Ford F-53 chassis.
Coolers are not vehicle-speciofic; you can install as large a cooler as you have space to mount one. Coolers are also not fluid specific; the same cooler model can be used for engine oil and for transmission fluid or even power steering fluid.
Derale Class III cooler # D15551 includes a spin-on adapter in the required 3/4-16 thread. This will be a good choice for...

- Most likely you would be fine with out either the gunk anti-freeze or the moisture filter since my cousin has this kit on his truck here in the Midwest where we get way more than 10 days of below freezing weather and he has yet to have a problem.
But if you wanted to be on the safe side, which is only thing I can recommend, I would recommend you go ahead and install the Gunk anti-freeze solution before the initial install that way you won't have to worry about it or mess with the bags...

- The Derale Transmission Filter kit part # D13090 would work on your 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 so I would recommend it for you. There is no bypass for this filter kit. For engine oil filters there is a bypass for when the oil pressure gets too low, but for transmission fluid that wouldn't be necessary.
We do not offer power steering or coolant filters.

- While the transmission pan part # D14208 fits both the 4R100 and the 5R110W I can't recommend the filter for one transmission to used on the other. This will give you the ability to add fluid to the transmission but beyond that it does not allow for a different filter.

Cavitation is defined as whining from the pump and a difficult to turn steering wheel.

- The Tube and Fin style is the original way oil and ATF coolers were designed, so they will be the least efficient of the 3.
The Plate and Fin will be the most efficient of the base style coolers for standard vehicles. They offer very good cooling properties and are generally smaller in size. I suggest using # D13503.
The Stacked Plate style is the most effective style of cooler, but is generally used on larger vehicles and or work trucks. You can use # D53478 with the adapter # D98203,...
