Automatic Tranny Cooler
I crawled under my truck today for the first time.
I looked for an external tranny cooler and all I found was the one in the radiator. Is that all there is? I dont feel safe with a cooler like that. It started to rain on me, but I didnt see anything else.
Is there a REAL tranny cooler somwhere under there?

Yep, thats it! Ford says that little thing is enough to do the job. Ya right! I learned my lesson after loosing my tranny at 19,000 miles from overheating. I now have an additional B.D. double stacked 12 volt fan cooled transmission cooler. Now I never get over 200 degrees. Runs at 140 - 170 most of the time. When it get close to 200 I turn on the fan and it cools right back down within 3-4 min. Hope this helps. Happy trails.

There are 2 coolers in a 2002 PSD, an oil to water and an oil to air. The oil to water is the first one. Oil comes from the tranny and runs into a tank on the bottom of the radiator, gets cooler by the cooler antifreeze. The oil them comes out of the radiator and goes into a finned oil to air radiator sandwiches between and at the bottom of the radiator and the A/C coil. You have to look real hard to see the finned one.
