Which Transmission Cooler for 2004 Nissan Titan to Supplement or Replace OEM Cooler

Question:

Nissan has a new part number 216069FDOA to replace part #216068S110. Will your D13611 be comparable or which one do you recommend? Info for GVW towing is 5040# truck curb weight plus trailer 7500# . The Titan is rated at about 9000# max towing capacity and I want to be sure to have condenser match that capacity. Existing unit leaks as result of damage due to deer suicide so need to replace immediately. Thanks in advance.

The transmission coolers we offer are not OEM replacements. They are intended to supplement the existing OEM cooler for demanding applications like towing or for continuous use in very hot conditions. You might start by reviewing the attached article which provides plenty of useful information about transmission coolers in general. Coolers are NOT vehicle-specific; you can use as large a cooler as you have the space to install it.

If your Nissan OEM cooler is a combination radiator/transmission cooler, we suggest you replace it with an original or manufacturer-approved replacement and supplement it with a cooler such as the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13503. This high-efficiency Class III cooler is shown in the linked video.
