Transmission Cooler Installed "What do you think"

[HearseMan]

Installed a Cooler today. Took 3 hours and was harder that the Air Bag install I did this Morning.

Only Concern is if my Location will allow enough air to cool it. But I do have the option to mount 3 more cooler is if wish, but that is just crazy.

I used the B&M Rated at 19,000 GVW.

Looks good , does your tranny shift any different since it runs cooler?

i thought explorers came with tranny coolers from 95+ since they had a horrible time with the 91-94 trannies

I have a factory one on my '97 with about the same size if not bigger. Maybe not all 2nd gen has one.

For sure it'll never run hot.

i think they came from the factory if you got the trailer tow package

Then I have one confused Explorer. I have the connector at the rear for the wiring, but no tranny cooler. I can't figure out if I have it or not. Another thing that leads me to it, I have 3.73s w/LS

 

[dman726749]

do you have the trailer recever? i have the wiring and the 3.73ls too but no reciver from the factory and no cooler. i added both though.

Where is this connector at the rear for the wiring?

 

[dman726749]

ummm...... if i remember its under the right side by the tail light housing. i may be rong though.

 

[jimbo74]

it is trim clipped into the inside of the rear bumper....

factory hitch? exploeres until recently didnt come with a 2" receiver hitch.... however, they had a step in the rear bumper rated as a class 2 ball mount

i got a calss 3/4 on my 96, but it was not from the factory. put it in myself. infact towing the boat to the lake tomorrow with it

Oh, I see. So a step bumper with class 2 ball mount is what they considered a tow package?
