trans cooler bad place

Beware if you are off roading with your 2015 f350 the trans cooler is way to low behind the front bumper. I it a rock that broke the hub off the trans cooler I was able to remove the lines and do a temp splice with a hose.


I will be looking for another location for it or making a skid plate for it.
Stay tuned.
Steve

Really? Gas or diesel? I don't remember my 2015 gas having any low hanging coolers; if I recall the trans cooler is inside the radiator with the auxiliary trans cooler being a 16-row heat exchanger mounted in front of the main radiator.

On the diesels, there is only one small transmission cooler mounted by itself on the side of the right frame rail.

I have the diesel and the cooler is the small one the right frame rail and hangs down below the frame you can't see it because of the valance.

So true. On my 2014 I was ready to remove the front valence(snow plow) and when I got under there I saw those lines. They would be exposed with the valence gone so I did not remove it. I'm not sure what lines they were, but they concerned me. My 2016 gas does not have these lines.
