Best Ford Taurus Transmission Coolers

I have been happy with the Derale transmission cooler. Installation was simple enough and one year later it is still working fine

i recived my Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/ NPT Inlets - Class I -Extra Efficient - D13611 and i really like it its well built and it look to be heavy duty and am looking forward to installing it.thanks again for a great item.

Works fine and wasn't difficult to install. I didn't take the bumper cover off. Worked from top and below. Fashioned an aluminum brace.

The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets - Class III - Efficient did not come with the correct radiator transmission fitting for my 2004 Toyota Tacoma doublecab Prerunner v6 automatic transmission truck. However, I was able to use the fitting provided as a "splice connector" between tubing sections. I did not have to cut or trim off any of the stock rubber tubing to make the splice connection, but I did choose to use a couple of line clamps to secure the tubing to the front frame crossmember. Because of existing AC condensor tubing, braces, and other items in the way, placement of the transmission cooler on my vehicle will ONLY fit in the upper passenger side of the radiator, in front of the AC condenser. It was extremely difficult to get the cooler into this position. Completely removing the entire front grille would have helped, but I chose NOT to because all of the 21 year old plastic clip grille fasteners would inevitably break and need replacement ($$$). I ended up accidentally bending some of cooler fins when trying to get it into position. Not sure if I can straighten out these bent cooler fins after the install but I am going to try. I also don't know how much additional transmission cooling I am now getting because I don't have a temperature gauge connected to my transmission. I simply have to trust the cooler is doing its job.

I installed this cooler on a 2001 odyessey to help prevent a future trans failure.It was delivered quickly when promised,came with everything I needed for installation and had no problems.Overall a good product I would recommend this to anyone. I am also very happy with etrailer.coms service and selection and would definitly use them again.

Two cars, two transmissions radiators, very good product from etrailer.com Thank you !

Have a 1998 Lincoln Mark 8 w/ 4 speed automatic which retails for no less than $ 4000.00 - Having this potential monkey on my back , I decided to invest in a trans cooler. Fabricated mounts and bolted on , used double flare connection to cooling line w/ barbed fitting ; barbed fitting @ radiator fitting. Used 2 hose clamps @ cooler, one clamp on each barbed fitting . Could only mount with fittings to left ,fluid leaves radiator , enters cooler @ top ( to reduce pump load ), comes out of bottom & returns to tranny. No trans temp. guage, but cooler gets hot @ idle, verifying cooler works . Well constructed and sturdy,easy to mount ; comes with instructions.

It’s been almost a year since I installed this transmission cooler. I would say it’s gone without a hitch, but THAT would be inaccurate. I also installed a hitch! I placed great confidence in this transmission cooler to do its job as my 2015 Honda Accord V6 served as my truck during our move this past year. Never a problem (ok, I’ll say it... It went without a hitch!). etrailer customer service was EXCELLENT! There was a question during installation that arose from my particular model of car having a Transmission Fluid Warmer that in effect made identification of the transmission outlet and inlet reversed according to the instructions. The technician actually read and considered what I was saying, instead of just assuming the instructions applied to my vehicle. Thanks to their input, I correctly reversed the directions and got the correct solution! BTW... I attached some pics of the correct hose routing for the 2015 Honda Accord V6. Note how you simply remove the short hose shown in the first pic, and connect the hoses from the transmission cooler! Note that I mounted the transmission cooler vertically so the hoses would reach. The last pic is showing the transmission fluid warmer (just as an FYI).

Great cooler upgrade for my 1997 GMC Yukon! Little delivery damage, but was so easy to bend those fins back to original shape so no worries! Nice that you had proper dimension measurements online, so it was easy to figure out what kind I can fit in my truck. Complete kit had everything I needed to get it done! Modified old cooler bracket little bit and that was it. Works great!

I just installed this on my chevy avalanche. Flipped the bottom brace around in order to mount to. The hardest part is getting the hoses on the cooler and over the return line. I ended up getting a 90 deg quick connection coming from the radiator instead of using the one I got from etrailer. This keeps the hose from bending as much. Also purchase the installation kit with a hose as you will need an extra hose. After install I wish I would have went with the next bigger unit which is 10 high instead of 7 1/2 as I had plenty of room.

Removing the front bumper/grill on my Odyssey was a must! Installation was pretty much straight forward once you confirm the feed, and return connection points. Mounting the actual cooler to the front radiator was the easiest part of the job. My Odyssey made two 650 mile trips pulling 2050 lbs with no problems so I’m very happy with the cooler!

good product form a great company ! my only complaint is this was listed as for my specific truck, but the "insta-dapt" supplied doesn't fit the Dodge truck of my year. even doing my research ahead of time, it seems to be hit or miss whether it would fit as some of them come with 5/16 fittings and some (like mine) come with 9/16 fittings. it doesnt matter the engine size, even other 3.7L dodge trucks of the same year have 5/16 fittings... I think Dodge made a change middle year, but never let the consumer know as mine is a late year '04. no dig deal as I was able to assemble it anyways and got it up and running great and both the radiator and trans are running much cooler now ! I attached the D12902 to the bumper as you will see in attached images. 2 attached images are just before finishing, bumper hasnt been attached yet, one of them is after everything was complete.

So far so good, easy install
