Derale 13870 Specs
Including its fan, the Derale 13870 measures 14 7/8″ x 13″ x 5 5/8″ which considering its size, still allows you to mount it remotely in tight spaces. This cooler is not designed to be used in front of a radiator or condenser unless there have been modifications made and there is ample room.
This cooler comes standard with female threads at the inlet and outlet of the cooler which allows for various size fittings to be used. There are options to use -6an, -8an, -10an, or even up to-12an fittings. Because of this, there is serious flow through the cooler to reduce temps fast.

Derale 13870 Installation
When installing the Derale 13870 there are a number of things to consider. The first and most important is where will the cooler be mounted. Depending on your vehicle, there may be plenty of room or not much at all.
Since this is designed to be a remote transmission cooler, the most common spots for mounting would be on a frame rail or in the back of the vehicle. No matter where you plan to install the Derale 13870, it is always best to ensure you are clear of any moving parts.
Another consideration when installing this cooler is the fan. When wiring the fan you can choose to wire it to a manual switch or an inline thermostat, such as the Derale 35020 which we highly recommend. The inline thermostat has a 180 F preset turn-on and 165 F turn-off, making it perfect for flawless, hands off operation and optimal transmission temps.
Note: If you plan on using an inline thermostat with your transmission cooler fan, it is necessary to run a relay as well. Get the Derale 13870, Derale 35020, and a relay together here.
