06 Explorer w/ 5R55 Trans Cooler Upgrade

[Jim Kechely]

Summer in Arizona is about here with temps already almost 110°. I've got a 5R55 in my 06 4.0 Explorer and I'm going to install a stand alone trans cooler with a small electric fan. From what I've found online, we have a cooler integrated into the radiator. I've done this on a previous car with this same setup and it helped tremendously dropping trans temps.

My Question: What type of connections/fittings go into the radiator for the trans lines? Compression? AN?

The fittings should be the same as my '07 which is quick connects going into and out of the radiator.

Are you going to use the towing package oil cooler or install a different one? I am debating putting a fan on the cooler that's existing.
