I cant seem to find it..What i thought was it was the powersteering cooler. Does anyone have a diagram or pic of the location? 01 f250 7.3

 

It is mounted low, between the intercooler and the radiator. You have to remove the panel on top of the radiator/grille, and then you can look down and see it. It is pretty small!

Welcome to FTE.

Get on the floor under the radiator and find the trans lines going out of the rad to the cooler. Can't miss it.

 

Use this LINK to the article I have on replacing it with a 6.0 Cooler.

 

I will be replacing mine in the next week or so......thanks to your link!

 

I did the 6637 air intake install...then I was going to add a inline trans cooler to my stock one. Took the grill of and mounted my extra to cooler and was about to hook it up to my power steering cooler. I was like I dont think this right. I saw lines running into radiator but I thought the trans cooler was a sep cooler like I have seen in pics. I said screw it for the night. I'll go back under and look around some more next time. By the way this is a great site and have been reading it nonstop for the past two months since I got my truck

 

Its possible, and not sure what years are effected by it, and style of truck, but your trans cooler could be inside the radiator itself..OTW cooler. Mines set-up that way, and have received mixed opinions as to whats better. I've thought if something was to happen to the trans cooler part, that it'll taint the rad coolant, and we know how much that crap is. I've thought myself to go to a OTA coolant...(oil to air set-up).

 

I didnt look super hard but to me the lines running from the trans ran up into the bottom of the radiator? not into a seprate trans cooler

 

Double check on the routing. Mine, and most I would guess, goes from the trans, to the cooler in the bottem of the radiator, then to the aux cooler in between the rad and intercooler, and back.
I just eliminated the small aux and used the aftermarket instead. I believe it was recommended to leave the radiator cooler in line, as the oil to water cooler works well??

Timmy I might be wrong, but I thought the 99's lacked the OTW cooler and only had the OTA?

The lines run first into the lower radiator then out of the radiator and around and up to the trans cooler, mounted just behind the power steering cooler, which is located towards the drivers side center, about 4"x12-16" IIRC. I find it interesting that OP's truck would not have the OTA cooler.

 

Cliff's Notes short history:

The 99's came with an air-only cooler. Ford soon found that arrangement to be unsatisfactory.

Soon thereafter, they added (back in, the '97s still had them) the lower-tank-in-radiator cooler, but kept the air-to-oil cooler as well, in series. Some of the '99s were even retrofitted with those radiators.

We lived with this still-inadequate amount of cooling until someone figured-out that a V-10's cooler would fit. This added some more rows, and made the cooling almost marginal.

Then, Ford brought out the Six-Oh! with the 5R110. Finally, there was enough cooling to do the job when towing heavy. Fortunately, they mounted the air-to-oil in the same place, using basically the same mounting, and people figured out THAT was the one to use with a 4R100.

so can I add a inline cooler to it? I already have it mounted on the front above the power steering cooler?

 

Sure. A LOT of folks on here have simply added another (a third) cooler in series with the factory existing two. The Derale from Clay would be a good example. See:
Riffraff Diesel: Derale 20,500 GVW Transmission Oil Cooler

Al and Pop, i wonder if your two statements are directed only for the autos? Mine being a ZF, has an OTW coolant system, but now a Springerpop by-pass filtration too

 

Yes, the manual transmissions use the OTW cooler. The transmission fluid flows from the transmission bottom fitting, to the intank transmission fluid cooler, and returns to the transmission top fitting.
