*More 7.3 Powerstroke diesel upgrades! This is probably the BEST upgrade I've done to my F250 so far. The Mishimoto cooler significantly reduced the transmission oil temps!*
I installed this trans cooler last year and couldn’t be happier. Towing my enclosed trailer during summer months I typically see 160’s on temps. Towing from Ca to Ne highest I got to was right about 200, briefly coming out of Reno. Great upgrade, great video.
I slip a piece of cardboard from the box in there to protect the AC condensor during the install. Those fins are so easily bent from the inside when doing this and that blocks some of the airflow.
I've done 3 of the 6.0L coolers, and I find it much easier removing the grill and bumper, it's 6 bolts for the bumper and 4 screws for the grill. At what point did you realize the passenger side mounting tab was bent. or to me it looked bent. I know my way of doing it adds more labor but it gives you so much more room to work.
That's good to know! I thought about removing the bumper/grill but just gave it a shot according to the Mishimoto instructions. I noticed the bent mounting tab before I started working on the truck, but after the scene in the video.
Awesome! I'd be curious how it impacts your truck temps as well. It made a big difference for mine when towing, probably the most significant upgrade I've done.
Thanks for the awesome video! Just installed today and it went smooth with all your tips. I've now done the tow mirrors and this...next will be exhaust :)
One thing to consider is that if you use the fancy hoses that are 3/8 at one end and half inch at the other, it might become complicated if one of the hoses blows when you are on a trip. If, on the other hand, you use a 3/8 hose, connected to an adapter, then to a half inch hose, you can get the necessary replacements at any auto parts store.
From doing the Mishimoto on my 1999 I would say step 1 should be remove the front Bumper. I did it after removing the stock cooler to get the Mishi bolted in and it was soo much easier.
Awesome vid. I started collecting parts before the Mishimoto kit, but will be installing the 6.0 cooler on my '00 F-350 soon. I see you have the added cooler in the radiator, my truck is older and does not have that. At slow speeds there's not much cooling for my trans right now.
YOU MAKE GREAT VIDEOS.....AND THIS ONE IS VERY GOOD.....HOWEVER.....THIS VIDEO HAD TOO MANY COMMERCIALS IN IT.....YES.....I KNOW COMMERCIALS MAKE MONEY.....BUT THIS WAS A BIT MUCH.....BUT.....THANKS FOR MAKING THE VIDEO.....
You skipped an important step that's not easily figured out. The two cooler hoses are held into a double plastic retainer that's not easily visible or accessible. Without opening both retainers you'll be pulling forever to get the cooler out.
I’m thinking about getting this transmission oil cooler for my 7.3 but I’ve seen a lot of bad reviews online saying that Mishimoto products start to go bad very quickly and then their customer service isn’t very good either
@@TheBTRGarage ok that assures me more, I couldn’t find reviews for that specific product but if it’s been good for you for about 4 years now then it ought to be pretty good
Trying to climb through the Smoky mountains in my 2001 e450 shuttle bus pulling a 26 ft enclosed trailer I had to stop by a junkyard and get a second transmission cooler because my truck was not liking it at all
Why will nobody show how to remove the lower factory plow bracket mount, or crash bar that is held in place by 3 bolts on each side with round flat heads??? Mine just turn in place. Vice grips are kinda working to hold heads while I use an impact.
BTR Justin nice! I'm in the process of buying my Grandpa’s 99 F-350 with only 30,000 original miles. I've been binge watching your videos for ideas. Thank you for the great videos! I'm also I'm the Denver area. Go Broncos!
Does it matter which orientation the new mishimoto lines go in? Like does the driver side line have to go to the radiator or does it have to go back to the transmission?
You also have a cooler in the radiator. It is the two hard lines at the bottom of the radiator. I left mine disconnected when i installed my cooler. If that cooler would fail then it could fill my radiator with transmission fluid
Did my swap and it’s still over heating even with new 6.0 trans cooler new hoses new trans filter and new fluid and not over filled. No slipping in gears and still overheating just confused at this point. Any ideas?
What are you using to read the transmission temp? Maybe there is a clog somewhere and needs a complete flush of the fluids? (assuming the torque converter was not drained when you put new fluid in)
@@TheBTRGarage I was coming to your most recent video to say this. I loved your old videos! Helping me make my decisions on upgrades for autocross. Thank you!
