• Recommended Compression Fittings For Dodge Durango 2011 Citadel 5.7L Transmission Cooler
  The insta-dapt comes with all of the Derale kits. It is unfortunately not always a fit as it is a universal adapter. You have a couple options, you can flare the lines you have or I recommend using compression fittings. To ensure you choose the correct compression fitting for your vehicle, you will want to measure the diameter of your transmission lines. The most common size is 3/8 inches, but it would be safe to measure first. I have attached links to the compression fittings that we...

  A transmission cooler is always a good idea if you are towing.

It is a good idea to get the largest transmission cooler possible because transmission fluid cannot be cooled too much, however, you will be limited by the...

  Since we haven't had the chance to install a transmission cooler on a 2016 Volvo V60 Polestar yet I am not sure what kind of fitting that your transmission cooler uses.

• Is a Transmission Cooler Required for a 1992 Dodge B250 V8 for Towing a 1500 lb Tent Trailer
  Adding a transmission cooler is never a bad idea. Anytime you are towing a trailer, the engine and transmission have to work harder. Keeping your transmission fluid at a lower temperature will prolong the life of your transmission. One factor that you can look at to determine if a supplemental transmission cooler would be absolutely necessary is the towing capacity of your 1992 Dodge B250. If the weight of your tent trailer is near the towing capacity of your van, I would strongly recommend...

• Radiator Adapter Fitting Options for a 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 4.6L V6
  I am not familiar with a 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 4.6L V6 engine, so I did some research, but I was still not able to find a model that came with a 4.6L V6 engine.
