5th Gen Trans Cooler

Derale

 

This is the one I bought. Upgraded the rubber holes to 3/8"

 

Which version of cooler is that? I'm needing a good one for towing up the hills in the summer. Tranny temp is hitting a bit over 220F so a 30F drop would be fantastic.

Scratch that, just seen the 8000 series listed in that ad.
Thanks!

 

Finally ordering this up.
How much extra Tranny Fluid did you have to add to compensate for this big radiator?

 

I added 1/2-3/4 bottle of Toyota ATF WS to the cooler and lines. It didn't take much.

 

Does that mean you pumped the ATF into the lines before you attached them to the system? I didn't think of that... I was just going to pump it into the tranny. I changed the tranny fluid and filter about 6 months ago so I may have almost a full bottle laying around. Thanks!

 

No problem. Yeah straight to the lines and topped off the cooler. Too easy

 

Doglover, by any chance do yo recall which line from the transmission is the outflow and which belongs to the return line? There are two lines leaving and entering the transmission one is above the other. My guess is that the top is the return? But I want to be sure to get the flow correct when plumbing these in series.

I did one of these on my 04 Taco and we got the wife a 4Runner last Friday. I know how well they work, and can't imagine not having the additional cooling on this one.

 

See my post # 32 above^^^ it will should which lines goes to which.

 

Missed the smaller pics. Thanks.

 

If anyone is interested you can still get this for 65 bucks on walmart's website... Not bad for 2025 prices
