Transmission Cooler

[JeremyFr]

Ok, so I've got a 2002 F150 with the 4.2L V6, I recently ordered a Derale Class IV plate and fin transmission cooler for it.

Everything seems straight forward, any tips, tricks, secrets, or anything else I should know before installing it this weekend?

Great tips gentlemen! I always have an industrial size pump of Fast Orange near by as well lol

Just plan out where/how you'll mount it & run the hoses.

When I put one in my truck, I used some 5/8 heater hose as an abrasion protection cover over the new rubber cooler lines where they ran next to the radiator. Just slit the heater hose lengthways & it slips over the new hoses.

I second the Dawn recommendation, that's what I have for hand/arm/etc. soap at my garage sink. It really does cut grease!

Good Luck!

My only tip..
Dawn dishwashing soap works great for getting ATF out of your hair. 🙂
