• Can 2001 Ford F150 Tow a 1997 Prowler TT Weighing 6200 lbs
  Determining the maximum towing capacity of a given truck without knowing exactly how the truck is equipped is pretty difficult. I've researched the issue, and found that the tow rating varies according to the rear axle ratio, and whether the vehicle is a 4x2 or 4x4. In my research I found that at the worst case scenario, your truck should be able to tow at least 7300 lbs. I'd recommend you confirm this for yourself by checking the owner's manual or with Ford. There's another way to determine...

• Do Transmission Coolers Install the Same Way on Every Vehicle
  Transmission cooler installations are not vehicle specific because transmission coolers themselves are not vehicle specific so they general way they install will be the same. What is different is where you may need to mount the cooler, whether or not you will have to cut and flare lines, and what you might need to move out of the way to install the cooler in the most efficient place. All of these things are different from vehicle to vehicle. The path of the transmission fluid should be...

  If you can fit a bigger transmission cooler than the part # D13502 then I would recommend you do that. Realistically, you can't go too big when it comes to transmission coolers. The biggest one you can fit will be your best option. The part # D13502 measures 11" Wide x 7-1/4" tall x 7/8" deep. If that's the biggest you can fit then I'd go with this one.

• Location of Transmission Lines on a 2001 Ford Ranger For addition of a Transmission Cooler
  One of my co-workers here happens to have a 2001 Ford Ranger with 4.0 Liter engine and automatic transmission, so I went out and checked under the hood. The transmission lines are located at the drivers side radiator tank, see photo, and run down, then across to the passengers side before turning back and running to the transmission. You should check your vehicle because different vehicle accessories or packages and the engine size and drive train may affect the location of the transmission...

• Can I tow a 30 ft Dutchmen Travel Trailer with a 2003 Ford Explorer
  To determine if you can tow your 30 ft Dutchmen travel trailer with your 2003 Ford Explorer, you will want to find the towing capacity of your Explorer and compare that to the loaded and ready to tow weight of your trailer. I did some research on your Explorer and found that the Explorer will have different maximum tow ratings depending on how it is equipped. For 2WD models, if you have the 4.0L SOHC engine without a tow package, then the maximum towing capacity of your Explorer is 3,500...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2007 Ford F150
  The answer to your question is going to depend on how much free real estate you have on the front of the radiator right behind the truck's grille, which is the place where you'll want to install it. Unless you live where it gets and stays below 0°F for most of the winter, you really can't overcool a transmission, so you could go as big as the available space allows (more on that later). If you have 11 x 12 inches of space available, I'd recommend the # D13504 . You'll also need some transmission...

• Can 2009 Ford F350 With 9300lb Tow Capacity Safely Pull 8100 lb Travel Trailer
  Towing capacity, payload and tongue weight are not the same, but are closely related. Towing capacity is pretty self explanatory. It's the maximum trailer weight a vehicle can pull. This can vary according to how the truck is configured and equipped. Payload is the amount of cargo a truck can carry, typically in the bed of the truck. The truck's payload will be reduced by the amount of tongue weight applied by the trailer, as you suspected but the tongue weight won't be deducted from...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2005 Ford Explorer 4.0L
  First, adding a transmission cooler will not increase the towing capacity of a vehicle unless the manufacturer states that by adding one the towing capacity can be maximized. According to the owners manual, if you have the towing package with 3.73 LS rear axle ratio, you can tow up to 5,760 pounds. With 3.55 rear axle ratio the max is 3,240 pounds. If your model has the higher rear axle ratio and came with a tow package, you can tow up to 5,760 pounds. A transmission cooler is recommended....

• 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...

• How Difficult is it to Install a Transmission Cooler on a 2012 Ford F-150
  Transmission coolers are fairly simple to install requiring just a bit of mechanical aptitude and some basic tools.

The process to install the cooler will not be the same as the attached video for your truck but very similar as the process will only differ slightly.
