Aftermarket transmission coolers

[ChrisBlevins]

What kind of aftermarket transmissions coolers is everyone running and or tried??

 

[Yo Hoot]

I have the Derale 15950 complete kit. Comes with all 1/2" lines and full bore fittings. Very little added restriction.

did you use this in addition to the stock cooler or just replaced the stocker?I am getting pretty high temps empty so adding a cooler is in my future.

 

[Yo Hoot]

In addition.

YO Hoot,

What did you end up paying for that Derale unit? And how are you doing on the temp issue now?

 

[WUnderwood]

yo hoot-
did you see a drop in temp?

nice install

Unfortunately I don't have a temp gauge. I am using an IR gun on the pan. Readings at the pan went from 205F to 187F and more constant (worse case temps)

Internally temps are higher for sure than any external trading. I have a gauge on order.

I also drilled out the drainback valve which made a big difference controlling the spikes.

Got a double deep Mag pan waiting to install.

Cost the the cooler is $219.

 

[WUnderwood]

where did you get it from?

 

[WUnderwood]

ah, found it

Garrett at Pure Diesel Power has them in stock

I'm seriously thinking about it...

I used a B&M cooler on a Ford Bronco II back in the late '90s. It was inexpensive and worked well (I had a transmission temp gauge).

It didn't have a fan, and I mounted it in front of the radiator.
