Derale transmission cooler

[viper982]

I had some aeroquip TFE hose left over from when I was done plumbing my hydroboost so maybe I will use that instead of the rubber hose.

Steel line cools MUCH better than braided or rubber.

Mine is mounted btw the front frame rails in front of the front cross member, directly below the radiator. I have an 1/8" thick skid plate mounted 1" in front of it (open for air flow on both sides). The bottom edge of the skid plate is even with the bottom of the cross member for clearance and angles up towards the front of the frame rails.

I can't see how anything mounted under the seat area on either side can be safe...not only from sliding off rocks, or cars : ), or having small sticks (1" or more), popping up into it when run over (I've had one go right thru the floorboards on my truck), to having them totally buried in snow (or mud for those that do mud).

I have pics from my under carraige (t-case back) of my rig packed with ice... almost 4" thick..solid enough I needed a screwdriver to pick it out because it pulled a wire off my electric fuel pump which was mounted above the rear diff on the rear cross member...

I have the derale one with the temp control fan and I have it mounted over top of the rear axel in front of the rear gas tank up against the bottom of the floor and it works great! But I also don't play in the mud ether.

I mounted Mine where KyleQ put his but have not turned the fan into into a puller yet. I need to switch wires around to change direction I think. Seems to work well in this location as it can get tons of fresh air.

Here's my finished product

Seems to work well in that location. I also installed a temp sender in my pan to keep an eye on the temperatures I am running

Nice. Very nice. You should be proud.

I like that little flame proof blanket you have on your fuel line. Smart.

If you ever think your tranny cooler isn't getting enough air you could easily install some of the really nice louver vents available in that fiberglass hood.

Looks great. Did you change the wires around to make it into a puller?

It was already set as a puller so I didn't have to change anything.

I finally took it out wheeling last night and the cooler kept my trans temperature in check and my coolant temp stayed cooler now that I am not using the trans cooler in the radiator anymore.

X2, I don't use the radiator exchanger, trying to keep the engine and tranny temps down. I have a primary stacked plate cooler with a fan, mounted on the driver side fender and a smaller stacked plate cooler in front of the radiator. All of it is plumbed with 5/16" tubing.
