Were you able to repair the condenser or was it a loss?

I didn't have time to get it repaired, so I replaced it. I am going to look at getting it repaired and then selling with the stock aux trans cooler on an F150 forum (hopefully I can find a guy whose truck didn't come with them). Durn things are expensive (relatively) at $250.

Find a good radiator shop. They will be able to patch it up. They may not want to guarantee it however.

This is not really related but I am going to run a CBR mini cooler as a engine oil cooler. Does any one know of the adapter/sandwich plate that is compatible with our trucks.

Bringing back a old thread.

Has anyone found a larger direct stock replacement that would snap right into the factory brackets and use all the OEM connections?

Also not sure if any of yall have thought about this but on my 2003 F-150 that was lifted on 38X15.50 Toyos and supercharged @ 12# I ended up removing the tranny lines going into the radiator, bypassing it, and running them to a 12"X12" Aux Cooler with a 8" Efan. In the middle of August in South Louisiana towing a 1994 full weight Mustang on a all steel car hauler in bumper to bumper traffic the tranny never got about 186*

Some guys are adding aftermarket dedicated coolers. But add I'm sure your aware, it involves a bit more modding and a dedicated location for the cooler.

The purpose of this thread was to add more cooling at the stock location. @KaiserM715 did a write up on replacing the stock tranny cooler with one that had two additional rows. It was essentially a direct replacement of the stock cooler.

I believe this is the write up Kaiser did.

Thanks for bringing this back to the top. I missed it first time round.

Trans cooler

another option for trans cooler that fits in stock location is one from a ford 6.0l. You have to trim the brackets and modify your existing mount a little bit but it's a lot bigger and fits in stock location. I've installed one on my p/u and it's working fine.

What kind of temps have you been seeing with this upgrade? It is clearly much larger.
