Tony Garza, some frontiers came w/ a factory trans cooler, locate it on the
passenger side in front of the radiator/ac condensor… now you can just
bypass the lines/hoses to the radiator and go directly to that cooler
I live in Florida and I install a large transmission cooler but do not run
it thru the radiator anymore. The radiator will heat up the transmission
fluid. If you look at all commercial trucks. They have a separate cooler
bypassing the radiator. I have done this on my Ford E-350 box truck. I
installed a t-fitting with a temp gauge and while driving with a heavy load
my fluid stays at 100-110 degrees and when I stop it goes up to 130.
Looks like your cooler is mounted up against the radiator? Wont this make
them both be running at the same temp? eg 180? Would it be better to mount
it on its own brackets further forward if possible?
So temperature wise, it’s always better to use both radiator and external
cooler: The radiator heating the fluid, and the cooler bringing the
temperature down to an acceptable value. But I’ve been told the fluid
degrades quicker when run through the radiator….
My truck is a nissan with a 4.0 engine. What size do you think or which
tranny cooler would you recommend for this 6 cylinder engine or rather for
the automatic tranny? It’s a rear wheel drive crewcab. Thanks again.
Why use the engine radiator at all if its higher temp or can become higher
temp than the transmission thermal dynamics is the key , the tempatures are
too conflicting from engine to transmission . Loose the accent.
hahahaha! Hey, wanna see a picture of a giant p3nis … All you gotta do is
wake up in the morning and look in the mirror! hahahaha! Hey, the video on
checking resistance on a spark plug wire is pretty good! Keep up the good
work, my friend …. and thanks for the banter! You’re a rock star! We need
to get you a cape or something SuperKlowney! SK! It’s got a ring to it!
On newer vehicles when the transmission fluid is to cold the ECM will not
let the converter go into lockup and in some cases overdrive. In these
vehicles in colder weather it’s better to run through the aux cooler first
then back through the radiator.
Two things…1) You spelled WOMEN wrong..and 2) I said “ladies” on purpose
cause I know only guys watch this kind of stuff … So guess who the idiot
is now for not catching on to that? I’ll give you a hint..it’s not me
To answer your question…the routing of your aux trans cooler actually
depends on your driving style, the stall of ur converter, your climate, and
weight of the vehicle. For example, if u live in a colder environment, you
acthally want to route it through your radiator because running the trans
at a lower temp is bad for it as well..i hope this improves your
understanding of how to route one.

I have a leak in my transmission cooler so I was thinking I can cap off the
holes to stop the leak and get one of these to bypass the radiator. Tiny
car (no towing or heavy loads) $30 auxillary cooler much cheaper than $120
radiator. Would you think that would be a good idea? I’ll probably flush
radiator and tranny first.
I really don’t know to much about tranny coolers but it sounds you know
what your talkin about. I have 07 nissan Frontier crewcab SE. and there
alot of comments people saying radiator is defective, tranny fluid in
radiator and vice versa. To get piece of mind I want to install tranny
cooler and bypass radiator completely so not to infect tranny with radiator
and vice versa. What do you think of this course of action, will it work
alright? Thanks for the video.
Tranny coolers usually come with zip ties and small padding..the padding
sandwiches between the cooler and and the radiator..so they never come in
contact
Well true, and if you are driving on mars you would want to mount it in
your trunk. I have my cooler after the radiator because it was more
convenient to do it way. You want to mount it before the radiator if you
are towing in the mountains or in really hot weather that way you engine
also benefits from the cooler fluid entering the radiator.

Your a idiot
Dnt care about how many veiws u have wasnt even talking bout u it was for
one of the dumb comment u had
I’m not sure I want to do this from the video he made ,,it makes less sense
the more I watch it
Regular radiator cools it by say ten degrees then trans coolers is second
to get fluid and cools it further.

Thanks for the video and where to place the extra cooler. The temp decrease
makes sense.

You’re about as funny as a venereal disease…! Obviously you aren’t any
better at comedy then you are as a mechanic!
hi klowny..can this be applied to vw 1996 golf with automatic tranny…….

Whose a dork?
Not for nothing but..i thought u were talking about the dork in your picture
Dudes a dork!

Yes it can
Yeah you can do that
Incorrect, go through aux. cooler first!
does the external cooler have a specific one way in and 1 way out?

The fluid doesnt degrade quicker..not sure why they said that..
You should be fine..just mount it in front by the radiator.if u mount it
someplace else just put a fan on the cooler
unless it specfies it just cirercltes like a regular car rad it only
recirulates
