2021 TRD Pro Tundra Transmission cooler mounting details!

[@waqarsyed6641]

AWESOME DUDE very well done wish it came out of Toyota like that

[@cerny4444]

Good job, well done. Very encouraging temps pre/post installation. Thanks

[@DirtE30]

I have other videos in the Tundra Trans play list that cover that aspect with a custom tablet gauge setup. Before and after readings on two mechanically identical trucks on the same afternoon doing the same test loop. Check it out for evidence. And on my truck before and after for that matter.

[@dalephillips8250]

@@DirtE30 Sir I told Toyota dealership I was going to do this and they had 2 mechanics that said it was unnecessary. I really don't believe them so I contacted a Toyota mechanic who has a channel on here called "The Car Care Nut" expressing my concerns to him and he also told me that with these Tundra transmissions he would not worry about it. But I can't help but wonder since the older ones had some type of cooler.

[@DirtE30]

@@dalephillips8250 I have no affiliation with Toyota... I have many videos showing the before and after temps. You can make your own assumptions as to why they deemed it necessary for 12 years of production and then dropped it I guess.

[@dalephillips8250]

@@DirtE30 I definitely lean you way even though Toyota says differently and If I had been towing regularly I'd have already put one of these on mine. I'm first going to get a gauge so that I can monitor my temps real time for my type of driving over this summer then decide which option I'd like to go with. I really like your 2021 option but don't like going from one size hose to another in line & you say that particular cooler is untested in the long run but the hayden you put on the 2019 has been.

[@DirtE30]

@@dalephillips8250 what else are they gonna say? “Yeah, you got us! We needed to cut some cost so it had to go! You’ll fry it if you tow with it now...”

Hello! Nice upgrade! Is it still running well? Thanks for the answering!

[@dafobbishon3]

Can you link me the kit that you have installed? I prefer this one over the Genuine Cooling Systems kit because this is out of the way of the main radiatior!

My '06 Tundra tranny temp stays no higher than 140 degrees. I also am running the Amsoil SS tranny fluid so that has some to do with it as well. The truck came with a tranny cooler slightly larger than the one you have there. Really stupid that Toyota deleted the cooler probably to make sure they well more trannys in the future.

[@DirtE30]

Hmm… honestly 140 is a little on the cool side… the thermostat may be stuck open.

[@GwinnettLawns]

@@DirtE30 The first gens don't have a t-stat on the tranny like the 2nd gens do. Shifts are perfect since new with 148k on it now.

[@DirtE30]

@@GwinnettLawns hmm… my ‘05 4runner V8 with the same 5 spd did have one.

[@nickthompson529]

Do you actually need to install a thermostat? I’ve installed a transmission cooler on a 2001 7.3L turbo diesel without using any thermostat and it functioned fantastically. It was a true cool unit we mounted in the bumper and it dropped the average driving temp by about 30* in the summer

[@DirtE30]

Yes you do… there’s no external fluid path without it… you also don’t want to keep the fluid cold in cold weather.

[@thomasdean5651]

Question from a novice....after installation, there will be trapped air in the hoses and cooler....is that not a problem?

[@thomasdean5651]

Does anyone know of an OBD2 scanner that will monitor and display the trans oil temps on the Tundra? If we're going to install the cooler, would be nice to be able to monitor the temps and know its working.

[@BTL3.0]

Any benefit to run the 16 or 19 rows over the 13?

[@DirtE30]

@@BTL3.0 I mean bigger is more efficient in theory. The 13 has proven to be more than adequate however in this specific application.

[@BTL3.0]

@ i’m slowly gathering parts to do the same setup as yours. Thermostat is on the way from ebay. Parker hose will probably get from their website directly. It’s like $4.64/ft. Not bad. Saw another video where the guy installed the hayden cooler and he uses 15-16ft of hose length total. Similar setup, no oem hardline. Straight from thermo to cooler. I may get 16ft to be safe.

[@grantadametz1093]

But the real question is how do you mount it to the transmission with the warmer in the way?

[@DirtE30]

Check out my channel for more videos with details on that part of the system. There’s an OEM thermostat plate that has to be re installed between the warmer and the transmission. Very simple.

[@EdDesan77]

How many feet of hose you used? Thanks

[@DirtE30]

@@EdDesan77 I’m not sure exactly. You can walk it off and add 25%

Thank you sir! Glad it was useful!

[@Schetmesa]

Great vid , did you test temps after? Any with pulling a trailer?

[@DirtE30]

See my other videos on the subject… this was my second TRD PRO that I have installed this setup on. Short answer is yes.

[@DirtE30]

Sorry for the amateur hour screen flip in the middle! Oops

[@js-wq6zy]

I think I'd run it vertically, and in the airflow....

[@DirtE30]

@@js-wq6zy well, there’s a hundred ways to do anything I supposed. This was the path of least resistance, plenty of air flow. Tested and proven results. Report back when you have yours installed. Love to see it!

[@duggydo]

I watched your video about you selling your truck. Comments are turned off for that video. Thought I would let you know. I sold mine on autotrader to a guy who flew in from Montana. They have it even worse out there finding trucks and will pay top dollar.

[@DirtE30]

Appreciate that greatly! Fixed it, what did that cost you to list with them if you don’t mind me asking? Also, i assume you had a loan on it and sold it for more than you owed, how did you handle all that?

[@duggydo]

@@DirtE30 I actually listed it on Autotrader, cars.com and Facebook. Autotrader was the most expensive and Facebook is free. I think autotrader was $50 and it had the most activity. I was surprised a guy would fly in to get it, but they can’t find trucks. I saw what you listed in the description. I’d raise the price some if I were you. That truck is gorgeous and should go for +$70k easy in this market. Good luck.

[@DirtE30]

@@duggydo gotcha. Just listed it. Appreciate the feedback sir.

[@duggydo]

@@DirtE30 No problem. I bought a 2018 Tundra after I saw you video about the trans cooler being removed in 2019. I really like it. Hopefully whatever you get next you make some videos about the upgrades and mods. I enjoy videos like that.

Most of your cooler is covered. There is no airflow directly over the cooler.

[@DirtE30]

@@weloveups831 demonstrably not true my friend. Cooler lowers temps drastically vs not having it. The TRD pro grill provides plenty of flow, there’s also a ton of flow that comes up from under in my experience.
