One guy told me mid size cruise. That is a strange tranny where water flows from the lower radiator hose for cooling is it not?

 

Um?.................. A 66 F250 Automatic?

 

MX Cruise-O-Matic is the correct term for the A/T used 1961/67 on F100/350's...with exceptions > >

Exceptions: The 1961 F100 with a 223 I-6 used Ford-O-Matic / 1965/67 F100/350's with the 240 engine used C4's.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The MX Cruise-O-Matic was once known as the BIG Cruise-O as there was another used on some cars called the FX Cruise-O-Matic, aka Small Cruise-O.

 

thanks for the info

 

No.

At one time ALL the auto trannies from EVERY automaker were cooled this way.

 

what ? the water flows from the hose to where ? I was under the impression the tranny fluid was routed to the radiator for cooling.

 

Trans cooler is mounted on the trans, the cooler lines run anti freeze coolant from radiator to it.

 

F250 or F250 w auto maybe.

My first f-100 had the water cooled auto in it. when i did an upgrade to 390 C-6 i tossed that tranny and i'm still kicking myself over that one .that was only 30 years ago. LOL. Dutch

 

i have the hook up for it but went with a separate cooler.

 

My Ranger was an auto...3/4 ton too... and had the tee in the lower rad. hose and the other correct lines for the C-O-M...

I also had a 55 Buick with the Dynaflow which was set up similarly...miles of heater hose was used on that sucker...it also had an under seat heater...worked great too..

What type of transmission fluid does a '66 F 250 take? My owners manual says it holds 22 pints...is that right?? Thanks in advance for the help...

 

Look on the dipstick, should say there. Type F should be the one.
