Product Description
Adding this B&M SuperCooler keeps the ATF and transmission cooler, and keeping a vehicle's transmission cool is essential for dependability, especially in performance applications. The unit is designed to be very efficient for its size and weight, to cool much better than an ordinary 'fin and tube' cooler, and to reduce the risk of lube system failure. Using fluxless, oven brazed construction for vibration resistance, it is built out of lightweight aluminum alloy and features a revolutionary 'stacked plate' design with multiple oil flow paths. The unit monitors resistance to flow by allowing a controlled amount of ATF to pass through a self-regulating orifice. Controlled by viscosity, thicker ATF is returned directly to lube through two bypass openings in the stacked plate core, while thinner ATF is directed through the core to cool as operating temperatures increase.

Easy to install
By Minh Nguyen
Item was easy to install. Comes with MOST of the needed hardware (plus some extra). I did have to purchase some extra hoses since the hose that came with it was not long enough. I would have given it 5 stars except for the fact that I needed some more hose.Tip: There is not "input" and "output" connection. They can be used interchangeably. I was able to confirm this with the company. If you decide to call the company - be prepared for a VERY long hold time. I was on hold for over an hour.

By Michael E. Restalrig-logan
I installed this on my 97 Ford Explorer 4x4.Although it seems to be operating just fine, the kit did not come with all the parts needed.I had to purchase more hose (not much of an expense) but the main expense was in having to purchase fittings to make it work.The stock compression fitting on the SUV did not fit into the one(s) provided in the kit.The threads would have worked, but there was a non-threaded extension on the compression fitting on the stock transmission lines that did not allow for it to thread.Had there been a longer throw on the adapters provided in the kit it would have been fine I think.For sure, I would recommend having a vehicle handy to run for parts before disassembling anything.The solution ended up being several adapters going from the stock compression fittings to brass pipe fittings (to compensate for the long throw) back to the compression fittings on the new unit (not cheap). The pipe fittings were machine turned and a little pricey. The main piece(s) I had to use were 2 Air Line Hose Fittings - Solid Brass Hose Barb Type - 3/8 MNPT. (don't forget to put Teflon tape on the pipe fitting threads)Also because I bypassed the stock radiator, I had to buy some threaded plugs to plug the holes where the transmission lines originally went into the radiator, (they were a couple of bucks a piece).If not for the fact I had a leak between the engine coolant and the stock trans cooler I don't think I would have had to plug them, but for a couple of bucks it may be a good idea regardless.I had to go to a couple of parts stores to find the parts I needed, but in the end I found them all at NAPA.I had to bring in the parts that came with the kit, and just go through the drawers of fittings until I found a combo that worked.If not for that long throw on the stock fitting, and the fact I had to "combo up" several parts to make it work, it would not have been a big deal, but it was a pain, and 20+ bucks in extra parts.All in all, I am happy with the end result, but not having to dig through dozens of part bins, and forking out another chunk of cash for a palm full of parts that could have very easily been supplied in the kit.I mounted the unit in front of the radiator and was able to bolt it directly to a metal cross member (providing plenty of clearance) using some self tapping screws (not provided either) but it was easier than drilling holes and using the bolts provided in the kit.I am happier with this set up than I would have been using the zip ties provided, and I really think it was just as easy.

Fits 2002 tundra perfectly
By D. Lee
Bought this for my 2002 toyota tundra. Overall an easy install. Had to relocate the left side horn to the driver side near radiator. Plenty of hose length.
