2019 + up Toyota Tundra Transmission Cooler install!

[@davidcox2197]

That fluid looked like it had 100K on it, not 40K. Wow.

[@repairvehicle]

I have installed cooler too, but done differently.

[@DirtE30]

How so?

[@repairvehicle]

@@DirtE30, routed hoses differently and cooler is not attached to the condenser.

[@DirtE30]

@@repairvehicle gotcha. Definitely more than one way to skin that cat I suppose. The results have been very pleasing.

[@ncurc9766]

Good job, some day I'll work up the confidence to do this on my 2019 tundra, that fact Toyota got rid of the cooler and kept it hush hush just goes to show they value profit more then "QDR" they brag about, shame on them

[@thomasdean5651]

May have missed it, but did you have to remove your skid plate to route the hoses?

[@searcher5912]

Great video!, may I ask where you might of gotten your quick disconnects? Great idea👍 Than you

[@alanrobb4081]

What parts did you use?

[@davidm.8309]

Thank you. Nice to know the old plate lines up. Toyota cut corners on the new models, sad. Any idea if this effects the warranty? I’m getting the OBD2 Bluetooth scanner today so I can monitor my transmission temperatures and decide if I need to do this too.

[@DirtE30]

David M. As far as warranty goes, if there was to be an issue with the tranny, the burden of proving that the modifications you made caused said failure would be on Toyota. So long as you are fill IGear about the install being correct, fill level being correct, etc... I think they’d have a hard time proving that adding the equipment they removed from the very same drivetrain after 12 yrs of use now somehow caused a failure, would be a major stretch to say the least.

[@DirtE30]

David M. What App are you planning to use the Bluetooth OBD2 dongle with? You’ll need some script to get both TC outlet temp and Pan temp.

[@davidm.8309]

@@DirtE30 ODB Fusion is the App. I have the scripts for both TC and Pan temperatures, someone posted them on Tundras.com. Thanks!

[@davidm.8309]

@@DirtE30 Thanks, they should never have removed the cooler. Its's misleading at best on the window sticker to still claim it has a cooler. I may just flush more often and then put the cooler on when the warranty is over unless I see temps now that alarm me.

[@davidm.8309]

@@DirtE30 I was seeing pan temps around 230, not towing, so I did the upgrade. Thanks again.

[@dalephillips8250]

I like the smaller size of the one you put on your 2021 Tundra but has this one caused any damage to the condenser you mounted it to? Are you planning to leave this one on the 2019 or "upgrade" it to the same one on your 2020?

[@DirtE30]

I don’t own the ‘19 anymore. Traded it in on the ‘21 but I know the guy that owns it now and it’s doing just fine.

[@glengenovese2093]

Hey brotha i have a 2019 tundra and recently purchased a travel trailer. Really interested in having one installed. What would you charge?

[@DirtE30]

Are you close to south central KY?

[@chrislooney6375]

Good job on this. I need to do this for my father's 2019 that he uses to pull his camper with. Would you mind sharing the quick disconnect fitting that you used and where you installed them at?

[@DirtE30]

Chris Looney decided against using them as they present another possible point of failure and they’re somewhat bulky, not a lot of places to mount them up to where they wouldn’t be clanking around.

[@DirtE30]

The Glamourous One huh? Why?

[@sgtfluffy7466]

@The Glamourous One the radiator has a fan behind it. In case you didn't know that, the condenser doesn't have a fan behind it and it works perfectly fine. External transmission cooler will work perfectly fine and keep temperatures way below what they are from a puck

[@DirtE30]

The Glamourous One you do you... but you’re not making any heat when you’re sitting still, if you mount the cooler in the front where it should be, a fan will just be blocking air flow when the truck is moving. Common sense man. The fan is for if you’re mounting it out of the airflow path which would not be smart.

[@DirtE30]

The Glamourous One not to mention there’s a fan already pulling air across the radiators/heat exchangers in the front. It’s called the cooling fan. Lol

[@ncurc9766]

Is the hot fluid port the one with the pin? And return fluid the other one?

[@DirtE30]

ncurc 97 at the end of the day it really doesn’t matter. So long as you install it and pull the pin, it’s gonna circulate fluid to and from the cooler. But yes, I believe the outlet is the one coming off the thermostat itself and the “return” is the other one.

[@johnhaase2895]

Where did you get the tubing from and is it 3/8 ID? Thanks

[@DirtE30]

john haase I used Parker 801-6 3/8” push lok hose from my local Parker store... this is very tough hose but also very expensive. You can get 3/8” transmission cooler line at any parts store.

[@johnhaase2895]

DirtE30 Thank you!

[@repairvehicle]

Gates has best transmission hoses

[@DirtE30]

@@repairvehicle Mkay...

[@sgtfluffy7466]

hey, i hate to tell you this but you shouldnt have mounted your cooler inlet and outlet in the down position

[@DirtE30]

Corey Shultz come to think of it, you’re probably right on a bar and plate type. Should have the inlet on top, outlet on the bottom. I’ll turn it around!

[@EverydayJ1786]

No . Read the instructions for that cooler . It will clearly state you can mount it so that the inlet/outlets are either on the side , top or bottom . It does not matter . People who say air bubbles won't escape are clearly uneducated on the subject .

[@sgtfluffy7466]

@@EverydayJ1786 every cooler is different. I did not look at the instructions for this one. So I do not know, just going by the general rule of thumb

[@EverydayJ1786]

@@sgtfluffy7466 b&m is the only one i know that says to not mount it like that .. most OEM coolers are mounted with the ports down

[@DirtE30]

The Glamourous One why? Air flow comes with ground speed. You’re not creating heat when your not moving. It’s not a radiator for the engine, it’s a heat exchanger for the tranny

[@Hitmannick10]

Wow, just goes to show you toyota doesnt give a shit, deleting key components to an already dated, over priced truck that's in last place when it comes to refinement and features. 2019 tundra owner- 17k miles, creaks, squeaks and rattles out the ass, rough ride and handling, drivers side suspension sagging, infotainment system from 2007, fuel pump recall and no fix, and now I gotta worry about this shit. You can tell mike Sweers his trucks aren't built for work, the wonderful 8 speed ram truck I had before never saw 200 degrees towing hard up steep grades- now all the toyota lovers are gonna fire shots at me

[@imxploring]

Haven't had the issues you have had with your Tundra.... but I completely agree that removing the transmission cooler was a stupid move! I suspect Toyota will be dealing with a major issue and will be "fixing" this poor choice down the road.... penny wise.... dollar foolish.
