I'm sorry if this isn't the right section, I just wasn't sure where to post this.
Id like to know the correct way to install a transmission cooler I'm asking in general, not for a specific vehicle (although I do plan to install on a non ford soon). I did google, but there is lots of conflicting advice, I trust this forum over others. So - before or after the factory cooler? I'm assuming you would install an auxiliary cooler AFTER the vehicles factory cooler. Otherwise you'd likely cool the oil, then potentially warm it back up passing it through a hot radiator/ heat exchanger. Orientation of the intel and outlet ports of the cooler? Mount both ports of the cooler down? To the side? Or facing up? I'm leaning towards having both facing up. That way when the engine is off the oil will remain in the cooler and it will not require 'priming' on restarting. BUT if the recommended install is both ports to the side, which is the inlet port, the upper or lower port? And why? |
