Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2012 Ford F-150 XLT 5.0L

Question

Question:

I have a 2012 f150 xlt 5.0L 2WD without towing package. It has factory brackets in front of the rad that would hold a transmission cooler 23” x 6”. Do you have one available that size? I believe that it’s ford part# 6L3Z-7A095-a. Thanks

Unfortunately we don't have the transmission cooler that fits your factory brackets. My recommendation for your transmission cooler is the Flex-a-lite Translife Transmission Cooler - Tube and Fin # FLX400130. You can use the Derale Universal Bendable Metal Mount Kit # D13002 to utilize your factory bracket to mount this cooler. I've attached a photo of a similar install but the cooler does come with the strips to allow mounting to your radiator so you don't need the factory mount if you don't want to utilize it.
