I have other videos in the Tundra Trans play list that cover that aspect with a custom tablet gauge setup. Before and after readings on two mechanically identical trucks on the same afternoon doing the same test loop. Check it out for evidence. And on my truck before and after for that matter.
@@DirtE30 Sir I told Toyota dealership I was going to do this and they had 2 mechanics that said it was unnecessary. I really don't believe them so I contacted a Toyota mechanic who has a channel on here called "The Car Care Nut" expressing my concerns to him and he also told me that with these Tundra transmissions he would not worry about it. But I can't help but wonder since the older ones had some type of cooler.
@@dalephillips8250 I have no affiliation with Toyota... I have many videos showing the before and after temps. You can make your own assumptions as to why they deemed it necessary for 12 years of production and then dropped it I guess.
@@DirtE30 I definitely lean you way even though Toyota says differently and If I had been towing regularly I'd have already put one of these on mine. I'm first going to get a gauge so that I can monitor my temps real time for my type of driving over this summer then decide which option I'd like to go with. I really like your 2021 option but don't like going from one size hose to another in line & you say that particular cooler is untested in the long run but the hayden you put on the 2019 has been.
@@dalephillips8250 what else are they gonna say? “Yeah, you got us! We needed to cut some cost so it had to go! You’ll fry it if you tow with it now...”
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
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!
My '06 Tundra tranny temp stays no higher than 140 degrees. I also am running the Amsoil SS tranny fluid so that has some to do with it as well. The truck came with a tranny cooler slightly larger than the one you have there. Really stupid that Toyota deleted the cooler probably to make sure they well more trannys in the future.
I watched your video about you selling your truck. Comments are turned off for that video. Thought I would let you know. I sold mine on autotrader to a guy who flew in from Montana. They have it even worse out there finding trucks and will pay top dollar.
Appreciate that greatly! Fixed it, what did that cost you to list with them if you don’t mind me asking? Also, i assume you had a loan on it and sold it for more than you owed, how did you handle all that?
@@DirtE30 I actually listed it on Autotrader, cars.com and Facebook. Autotrader was the most expensive and Facebook is free. I think autotrader was $50 and it had the most activity. I was surprised a guy would fly in to get it, but they can’t find trucks. I saw what you listed in the description. I’d raise the price some if I were you. That truck is gorgeous and should go for +$70k easy in this market. Good luck.
@@DirtE30 No problem. I bought a 2018 Tundra after I saw you video about the trans cooler being removed in 2019. I really like it. Hopefully whatever you get next you make some videos about the upgrades and mods. I enjoy videos like that.
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.
Check out my channel for more videos with details on that part of the system. There’s an OEM thermostat plate that has to be re installed between the warmer and the transmission. Very simple.

@@DirtE30 also buddy , you saved my 200 dollars on the thermostat. I watched your videos before buying my tundra. I had the dealership tried the part in for free when I got the truck , so thanks a lot for making these videos
@@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.
