Hayden 687 Specs

As mentioned before, the Hayden 687 is identical to the 677, but features -6an fittings over the traditional 3/8″ barb.  The cooler measures 11″ x 7 1/2″ x 3/4″ which helps efficiency cool transmission fluid and is still small enough to mount in most common locations on a smaller vehicle.

The Hayden 687 is rated at 20,000 GVW which allows for up to 2,500 pounds of tow capacity (if your vehicle is suitable to tow). This is a great option for most mid and full-sized cars as well as smaller pickup trucks and SUV’s who need to occasionally tow or haul smaller loads.

Based solely on the size of the Hayden 687, it is recommended for use on most standard cars and smaller trucks or SUV’s. While this cooler isn’t the biggest, it will easily be able to handle most daily driving situations. 

Hayden 687 Installation

The Hayden 687 comes as a universal trans cooler kit, so installation is dependent on each vehicle.  The transmission cooler comes with extra transmission hose,  -6an to barb fittings, hose clamps, spacers and mounting ties. 

Since most people will install the transmission cooler in front of the air conditioning condenser and  radiator, the mounting pieces will be enough for most installs.
