Excellent video -- short, to-the-point instructions, great camera work, and no needless chatter. Careful workmanship is evident throughout the video. HOWEVER, 😁, there's room for improvement, thusly: 1. Your "Stacked Plate" type cooler is mounted UPSIDE-DOWN -- should be mounted with HOLES UP to avoid air pockets and achieve maximum cooler efficiency. 2. Should use "Fuel Injection" type Hose Clamps -- They clamp tighter without damaging the rubber hoses. 3. It's NOT COOL to by-pass the internal radiator Trans Cooler. NOT recommended by the "Stacked Plate" cooler makers. ONE Japanese car maker had cooler tanks fail abnormally, while the overall failure rate of cooler tanks is VERY small, and NO cause for alarm. Those concerned with the coolant tank failure should GUARD against it, by checking the Coolant for ELECTROLYSIS. Place the "+" probe of your Voltmeter into the Coolant (engine WARM), and the "-" probe on the Battery NEGATIVE post. Should read less than 0.4 Volts DC. If experiencing high electrolysis readings, run a GROUND cable from the ENGINE BLOCK to the NEGATIVE Battery Terminal. I've run a B&M 13,000 btu "Stacked Plate" Trans Cooler for over 16 years and over 180,000 miles -- and I live in Phoenix, the hottest big city in the U.S.A. . Coolant is routed from Transmission OUT to Cooler IN -- Cooler OUT to Transmission IN. The Cooler Maker's (B & M) Instructions said to do it that way, and it has worked perfectly for years of scorching desert driving. www.mercuryforum.com/forum/grand-marquis-14/1995-grand-marquis-restoration-8937/

Great idea. Going to do the exact same thing on my 2015 Ram. Only thing I’m going to do differently is to have the fittings on the cooler pointing upwards. That way the cooler should be “self bleeding”. i.e. any air inside the cooler will not be trapped in there.

Great video bud! My only suggestion, is that center support is blocking quite a bit of the cooler. That's going to reduce it's effectiveness significantly. I considered the same placement of mine initially but then opted to put to the the right of the support so that the entire surface gets hit with fresh air.
@NewRoad
@NewRoad 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks. I thought about it as well - but here is my thinking: - My main goal was to separate trans cooler from radiator so fluids don't get mixed if radiator breaks. Even if I get 50% efficiency from cooler it is still better than internal in radiator. - By rough calculation by measuring how much the support is blocking is ~25%. However, it might be less - since I have 1 inch gap between support and cooler - which will allow air circulation. - The cooler rating is higher than I need for my H3 - GVWR up to 24,000 pounds, towing up to 5,000 pounds. That should compensate for blocking part of cooler - I have only 3 months when outside temp is about 77F, the rest of the year is much lower. I don't tow and I don't go to desert :-)

The clamps being used to hold the rubber hose to the metal transmission lines are a risk. They could slip off over time and release all the fluid, which would cost another transmission. They’re under persistent pressure. They should be crimped on at the point where the rubber meets the metal transmission lines.

Others are buying factory cooler with four tubes and install together with aftermarket transmission cooler, and others just disconnect pipes from the current installed factory transmission cooler and take the pipes from the after market transmission cooler and connect it to the return hose pipe and the inlet pipe of the transmission direct. What is your opinion, what do you think is the best? ?

Does it matter if inlet and outlet ports are facing downward? My overhauled transmission was fixed and I told them to install tranny cooler and disconnect from radiator. They installed cooler with inlet and outlet ports facing down like yours, but looking at a lot of youtube videos almost everyone puts the ports to the side. One youtuber says because if ports faced down the fluid won't circulate all the way to the top of cooler, only 50% of cooler will be used, but if put with ports on side all aluminum fins would be used. Thanks for the video, any feedback appreciated.

Just FYI, my trans fluid is cooling much better now after I installed external trans cooler. Perhaps I and many others are missing something - please do let me know what are the problems with bypassing radiator?

I understand adding an external cooler but why bypass the radiator. Makes no sense to me. All it is is one long tube with bends. Solid 1 piece and those things dont fail - EVER! I seen the MOD(Milkshake of death) due to driving after an accident and another because of putting in a junkyard radiator. The fail on main radiator is 99.9 a split at the seam or maybe a bolt through the radiator at 70mph. I dunno..i see seperating it makes sense for less moving parts but the radiator is crucial in the engineering of it. If i were to seperate the 2 i would for sure Thermostatic fan it. -Manufacturers (including B&M) recommend to run aftermarket coolers in addition to the factory cooler, not to bypass the factory cooler.

This is to prevent mixing coolant with trans fluid when radiator fails... there are number of failures that you can find on the net
