Troyer Performance Active Automatic Transmission Cooler Kit
PPI-ATCKIT
For 1997 & up Ford F-series (all models including SVT Lightning, supercharged Harley, etc.), Expedition & SuperDuty series vehicles. Also for GM Trucks & SUV's, Dodge Trucks & SUV's, we provide vehicle-specific fittings where appropriate for any American Truck or SUV (FoMoCo, GM, or Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler) this unit is ordered for. This is done automatically based on the vehicle info you include when ordering with us online.
This kit includes:
1.) Highest efficiency Stacked Plate Remote Cooler, with no drop in fluid pressure.
2.) Inline Fluid Temperature Thermostat/Fan Controller.
3.) 400 CFM Electric Fan with fully enclosed and reverse-S shaped fan blades, already mounted onto the stacked plate cooler for you. This Fan will be controlled automatically by the inline thermostat once installed.
4.) Billet Aluminum Mounting Brackets already installed.
5.) Installation kit including 4 feet of Goodyear transmission fluid hose, -6AN fittings and 3/8" barb fittings, misc. additional mounting hardware, radiator fitting adapters for the type of vehicle specified during ordering (not always needed, but we include them so you have every option just in case!), hose clamps, screws, etc. etc.
Everything you need to do an installation is included. There is enough transmission fluid hose (4 ft.) to install this unit close to the engine, transmission fluid lines, radiator, etc. area, which is where we normally mount them in F-series vehicles, etc. You can mount this Remote Cooler anywhere of course, even all the way back at the rear of the vehicle if you like, all you'll need is longer length hose.
The cooler is designed to be a true remote-mount cooler you can install anywhere on the vehicle, as necessary airflow for cooling is supplied by the fan. With the inline thermostat installed on the inlet of the cooler and connected to the fan as per the included simple wiring diagram, the fan will activate automatically at 180 degrees of transmission fluid temperature, and deactivate once the fluid temperature has dropped to 170 degrees. This keeps the automatic transmission fluid temperature optimal, and within a narrowly defined range for most efficient operation and longest transmission service life.
This is the same Troyer Performance active Transmission Cooler kit that we have been installing in everything from F-150's SVT Lightning's & Harley's being drag raced to F-150's Expeditions, SuperDuty PSD's, GM Sierras, 1500's, 2500's, Tahoe's, etc. that see the more typical daily driver & occasional tow vehicle type of usage.
This type of active cooler setup is the *only* way to ensure your automatic transmission fluid temperatures will not exceed 200 degrees, which happens frequently with the factory setup when driving at lower speeds or in city traffic, any time you are towing, going Offroad, any kind of racing (drag racing, four-wheeling, truck pulls, etc.).
Even with the auxiliary transmission coolers that come with factory towing packages & with heavy-duty cooling packages from the factory on trucks, SUV's & performance vehicles, your transmission fluid will *still* overheat in those conditions, because they are all *passive* coolers, with no airflow of their own, no type of active & positive thermostatic control to prevent overheating of the transmission fluid, and no way to accelerate the cooling of overheated fluid.
This is an especially critical issue with Ford automatic transmissions, which use shift solenoids attached to the valve body, as these shift solenoids are constantly bathed in the hot transmission fluid. Fluid temperatures over 190-200 degrees causes premature failure of the shift solenoids (which were a bit "weak" anyway up until about the 2000 model year or so), as well as premature wear on the friction materials such as clutches, steels, bands, etc.
Transmission fluid temperatures rise very quickly in a number of different driving conditions, for example, take an F-150 (or just about any other half-ton truck or SUV) towing a 4000 lb. load........... starting off from a stoplight and accelerating up to just 55 mph will add 35-60 degrees of heat to the automatic transmission fluid in less than 2 minutes! Another example is if you are drag racing, pulling up to the line at a nice, cool 180 degrees of transmission fluid temperature, at the end of just 1 pass down the 1/4 mile those fluid temperatures easily top 240-260 degrees! And once the transmission fluid is overheated, it takes a *long* time to cool back down, and the fluid is of course already damaged at that point. It only takes one occasion of overheating the transmission fluid to initiate molecule shear & start breaking down it's lubricity. Molecule shear happens quickly with non-synthetic transmission fluids, and causes lubricity breakdown & accelerated clutch wear, etc.
Heat is the #1 enemy of *any* automatic transmission & this Troyer Performance Active Stacked Plate Remote Cooler is the best way to give your automatic transmission it's best chance of a long healthy service life. Once installed, there is no maintenance or anything to set, you install it and then you can forget about it, letting our cooler do it's job of taking care of your transmission fluid temperature under any and all conditions! |
