Comparing the Derale 7000 and 8000 Series Coolers for a 2000 F-250 with the 7.3L V8 Diesel Engine  

Question:

What is the difference between the derale 7000 and the 8000, the only thing I notice different is the size 8000 smaller. I have a 2000 F250 7.3 I tow a tag along camper. I want to supplement my stock cooler.

The Derale Series 7000 Transmission Cooler Kits like part # D13105 has a tube-fin design whereas the Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler Kits like part # D13503 has a plate-fin design. The plate-fin design is superior to the tube-fin design in that it has internal turbulators to help the oil cool faster and prevent pressure loss.

For your 2000 Ford F-250 with the 7.3L V8 Diesel Engine, I recommend using the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit part # D13504 which is 11" wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep. It has the plate-fin design so you have the internal turbulators that cools more efficiently.

In order to install a transmission cooler on your F-250 you will also need to use the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford part # D13025. I have attached a review video for you as well.
