$75 Tranny Cooler

If anybody wanted to know what one from a salvage yard looks like here it is from a 2005 F350 6.0....

Just a couple questions I thought it was a 31 row, this seems to be 32? Also any idea how much more coolant you use with one of these?

I would be cautious using one with an unknown history. Would suck to pump a bunch of clutch debris into your trans....

It won't take much extra fluid at all, assuming you don't spill much during the swap. Less than a quart most likely.

If I were to ever get a used one for my truck, I would first make sure the inside was spotless, then lastly rinse it with the solvent the refrigeration guys use. If there were any hint of anything that came out (through filter paper for disclosure's sake), the unit wouldn't get used at all.

I count 31 rows.

I was wondering about what kind of degreaser to use, but the refrigeration cleaner is a great idea, thanks.

I used this stuff to clean out OTW radiator line. I still dont recommend using a used trans cooler with unknown history... they are very hard to clean out once contaminated.
