Hey guys! Today I replaced the transmission cooler in my 03 explorer. Here's how it is done. I also show how to plumb the lines if you want to add an external aftermarket cooler in series with the OE one. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the video, it's given me some ideas. I'm trying to pull the whole cassette out of an '05 4.6...the long metal trans cooler lines are the issue🙄 Also, thank you for taking the time to remind everyone to be responsible with their old coolant👍

Just finished ✅ replaced the radiator. I removed the lower passenger bolt from the bracket that hold the radiator from the front of the vehicle, just remove the one bolt of the tranny cooler ( passenger side) . Took me 5 hrs . 108 heat index. Greetings from North Texas.

Absolutely. As stuff needs repairing, expect more videos.

No need to make an incision on the rad support to access the passenger side lower bolt. I removed the other bolts on the rad and moved the rad towards the engine. This gave me the necessary clearance to remove the tranny cooler. Then with the tranny cooler out of the way you have clear access to the lower passenger side rad bolt. BTW, I love your videos on the Ford 4.0 SOHC engine.

When you said : I removed the other bolts on the rad . What bolts?? Where they are located it??

He’s talking about the top bolts that mount the radiator/condenser/trans cooler to the rad support. They’re 13mm I believe.

What's your opinion on these quick connect trans cooler lines on the 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Track. Leaking. Is there a better aftermarket solution? The cooler is integrated into the main radiator. I'm replacing the Transmission and figure I better fix the leak too. Maybe a future video idea. Smile.

I’m thinking of installing one of these on my 1999 Eddie Bauer 4x4 explorer. As far as I’m aware they don’t have a cooler. I wanna have it live longer and I’ll be towing a small trailer for camping trips. Would I just have to bolt it on in front of the existing radiator?

Yes. Get a hayden transaver off eBay or Amazon.

Yes! Go on eBay and get a Hayden transaver. You can bypass the radiator and only put the aftermarket cooler.

@iamdjnam 3 жыл бұрын

Your 2010 has 2 of them. One in the radiator and another behind the grill. They will only need to be replaced if leaking or damaged in an accident.
