Anybody running a remote tranny cooler I ordered a derale 15800 remote cooler and its a lil bigger than I thought was wondering where people were mounting them. I'm installing it for sum slow crawling I live in az and huntin seasons around the corner and its still hot as hell so til I get my gears done thought this would help. Thanks

 

I'm getting ready to do this also, and for the same reason, Hunting season in Az! I haven't looked for a location yet so I am all ears for any suggestions or experiences!

 

This is what I did with my Ebay find.


You should be able to use the left or right side and just make a mount for it and it will work fine.

 

This Derale cooler? 15.75"w/11.5"h/5"depth







Here a B&M 70264. 11"w/5.75"h/1.5"depth:

 

Just went and looked at one...What are the dimensions of that cooler? I see what you mean, It has it's own fan and all. Looking at a pic of it gives you another whole perspective concerning mounting locations! lol

 

Found this under Product Description:

"Mounts anywhere space permits"

 

Ya you can mount it anywhere but it's fairly good sized was going to mount it under chassis next. To gas tank but it's a tight fit

 

I was looking for those dimensions! Man, that looks like something one would rather mount in a location besides in front of the Radiator? Remote is a very accurate description!


I just went and looked at mine and the only place I could see to mount that cooler would be to make brackets and put it under the Radiator over the Skid Pan. This location would be exposed to Mud, Rocks, Brush and Etc. though. That is quite a bit of Cooler!

 

Bigger than this one even. Nice job he did though. 13.8"w/11"h/3.5"depth

Good find! Did a nice Fab job on this! But I still can't help thinking about exposure to small debris or Mud. I'm thinking that even a short run over some Tall Grass could render it plugged and dysfunctional as a cooler even with a screen?

 

Well I found a spot for cooler up above rear axle next to gas tank had to weld sum angle iron and square tube for mounting but fits pretty good

 

One more can't figure out how to do multiple pics???!

 

Curious? Is it going to be cool with your differential travel when loaded up for camping? Have you considered adding a sheet metal "Splash deflector pan" to keep mud from splashing directly into it from the tires?
