@@weloveups831 demonstrably not true my friend. Cooler lowers temps drastically vs not having it. The TRD pro grill provides plenty of flow, there’s also a ton of flow that comes up from under in my experience.
My 2019 Tundra Limited has had the Over temp alarm come on two time when NOT towing. No answers from the dealer. We need a Law Suite to force Toyota to install the Transmission Cooler on all 2019-2020s.
It was concluded that the 4.7 v8 lasted too long 😂 must save more money cut costs 😂😅 we present to you no lifetime fluid and no trans cooler and self wipeing engine bearings in the turbo v6 engines lol 😆
Can you link me the kit that you have installed? I prefer this one over the Genuine Cooling Systems kit because this is out of the way of the main radiatior!
Man, you touched a raw nerve, I have a 19 1794, like you I bought the reputation of the Tundra, OK, you are dead on now, every 30K, change the Trany fluid and filter, I say that Fluid will boil, I had a 2015 Sequoia, the guy towed his wife's car 90 miles in low gear, the Trany fluid was burned black, and it smelled like a dead skunk (remember that song?) so man we may have to think about some type of additive, or add an aftermarket cooler on, OK thanks for your work, let me know what you are doing.

A vehicle is NOT an investment, its a depreciating asset. BUT still do what you can to make it last. Just bought a 2017 Tundra, hopefully the LAST truck I buy, am 62 years old now.
Not bad but you won't see much cutting the weld like this look up bend test and acid etching if your really curious about your welds but they look danm good for a 200 flux core machine and assuming your still learning but the inclusions would not pass a test. Seriously good job improving your skills
Does anyone know of an OBD2 scanner that will monitor and display the trans oil temps on the Tundra? If we're going to install the cooler, would be nice to be able to monitor the temps and know its working.
Do you actually need to install a thermostat? I’ve installed a transmission cooler on a 2001 7.3L turbo diesel without using any thermostat and it functioned fantastically. It was a true cool unit we mounted in the bumper and it dropped the average driving temp by about 30* in the summer
Toyota probably not going to do anything about it, so it's going to be up to you to add a cooler if you want one. Fair? I get your point, why did they delete it? to save a few (very few) $$, I guess.
@@groth3395 oh sorry, yes, once you’re done, you remove the pin holding in the thermostat. It will then operate as intended and open at around 195f to allow circulation of the fluid to and from the external cooler.
Thank you for the video. Very clear explanation. So. We have to put the pin back when we change out the transmission? How hard is it since we don’t have the space around to do it. Not very good design from Toyota Can we just leave the pin in it to keep the flow path open at all time?
Great video. I think the Toyota engineers knew their business. It has been long enough since the deletion of the trans cooler that we would have heard of massive Tundra transmission failures by now. This has not materialized. Toyota is too hyper vigilant about their reliability reputation to do something reckless.
This is a great video. It is exactly what i need and what i was looking for my 2018 Toyota Tundra 4.6L SR5. Thank you. can you show how to run the new hoses under to the new cooler. Than you..
A fleet maintenance manager I know swears by blending oils to get a good mix of detergents and additives to prevent sludging. I been reading up on the different oil additives and think I might start doing a blend in my oil changes. I've got a 2018 Tundra with a 5.7 and I think I'll start with next oil change.
Yeah… that ain’t it brother. If somehow your “maint manager” friend knows better than the thousand or so chemical and mechanical engineers at Mobile, I’ll eat this rig for lunch. Change your oil, change your PCV. The inside of this engine is pristine, I know because I’ve scoped it. Burn off happens, no matter what oil, to some degree. At 225k miles, a 1/4” orifice is gonna get clogged up. I’ve seen them completely stopped up at 75k on neglected engines.
@@DirtE30 Well, I think he might be onto something. I was just making a general comment. If you want to be a dick about it that's fine. You do you buddy.
Good video, aside from it being about a PCV valve and not an EGR valve like it states, however…my tundra, also a 5.7 used to eat oil on Mobil 1, I experimented with a lot of oils, I came across this article (540 RAT) it’s a motor oil engineering test data, good read. Turns out that Quaker State full synthetic oil has the best protection available of any oil, #2 was Amsoil….mine just turned 100k, I’m always ahead of everything on maintenance, it’s a tank and my baby….so as for the EGR, I’ve been hearing all the nightmares of clogs etc., this was my reason for searching and found your video….I have added an oil catch can to replace that PCV valve, at every oil change I empty it out and you won’t believe the crap it collects, based on that 1/4 hose you were going to vacuum out, you should probably look into one, they are fairly cheap on eBay….I love emptying it out and seeing all that gunk that I prevented from going back into my engine.
