My transmission cooler has been slowly leaking the past couple weeks, not enough to cause any real harm right now, but once i'm done with classes this semester I want to replace the thing. I found a few on summit racing but I'm not sure which one to get. Does anyone have any suggestions? Here is what I was looking at:

I am not sure what the inlet and outlet sizes are on the lines does anybody know for my truck, 2002 1500 5.9?

Thanks

 

Just go to a junkyard and pull one out of another truck. Once you find the truck it takes only 10minutes to pull it off. I did that with mine. I got a bigger tranny cooler and luckely it was the on the first ram I seen that day. It only cost me $25 and 10 minutes of my time.

 

Try to find a larger one from a 3500 Ram if you can, they are larger than the 1500.

 

Summit is selling some for about $50. Personally, I would rather spend the extra $25 to get a brand new one than get the used $25 and possibly have issues with it later on.

 

Its not a direct replacement cooler. You are gonna have to do a few things to make it work. The one from the junk yard is a direct replacment. If there's no leaks in it bye now it should never leak unless a stone or something from the road hits it. Me personally I would rather have a used leak free direct replacement cooler than a off brand cooler that gonna cost me more work installing it.

 

Oh I thought it was a direct replacement. What's missing from the Summit ones?

 

The one from summit will have to be fitted into place. Its not a direct bolt up. Also the fittings will have to be adapted with the adapters included. But just another thing that can leak!
