- Summer is coming and it's time to keep that little 4R100 cool. I swap an Amazon (Dorman) 6.0 Transmission Cooler into my 2000 Ford Excursion 7.3 4x4.

This was one of the best vids out there on this mod. Subbed and Thanks!!
I just got the Mishimoto 23x7 cooler. I was going to do the 6.0 upgrade but didn’t feel like it at this point. 96 7.3. It seems good so far. I pull 4-14k daily
I got the mishimoto as well and noticed a MAJOR cooling difference. Also helped to change my inline filter that's been backwards since I got the truck 😂😂
I put the mishimoto in my 03 7 3 excursion pulling a boat though south Florida in July highest trans temp I reached was 155
Online from Amazon? Which one?
Also Goin with the mishismoto
I went the cheaper route with a Dorman cooler, but I do love me some Mishimoto parts. I have their intercooler on my LML Duramax.
@@CotterPinGarage I was thinking of that but I love how the mishismoto lines are one line from 3/4 to 5/8 so thats less fittings.
Gotta get me a 7.3 excursion
Prices are going up better snag one soon!
Yes get you one, they are awesome, I will never sell mine
Aren’t those clamps you used the same thing as pex clamps, like what you’d use on the plumbing in your house? If so I’m set 😂 good video 👍
They sure do look the same, if it’s good enough for water it’s good enough for oil right 😂
All of my German cars use them.
How much fluid did you have to add after the swap?
I think I added an additional quart or 2, and dropped temps 30-40 degrees. Stock pan, stock trans as far as I know with 200k miles.
There are rubber isolators that are missing in the bottom holes that’s why the factory bolts didn’t work
That makes much more sense, I figured there may be variances in the core support from my 7.3 to the 6.0s
@@CotterPinGarage yeah I’ve never understood why dorman won’t sell them in the cooler. Even if you’re working on a 6.oh the isolators are dry rotted if you need to replace the cooler.
Great video though!!
The people new to these rigs will like to see it.
Also do you have a trans temp gauge other than the stock one ?
If so add before and after temps I’m in Minnesota and plan to travel some day and I’m curious how big a difference there is in daily driving at the higher ambient temps
I have a glow shift 3 in 1 a pillar gauge with EGT, Boost and Transmission temp. It was running 190 at 83 degrees ambient temp the other day which is what prompted the cooler swap.
@@CotterPinGarage Thank you CPG bundle kit makes it easy..
What temps are you seeing during towing now?
I plan in doing this upgrade... I have a 4r100.. there's a vented Derale pan that increases fluid cooling as well..
@@camposvazquez it hasn’t been too hot lately but I’m seeing 140-150 under normal driving conditions.
Why will nobody show how to remove the lower factory plow bracket mount, or crash bar that is held in place by 3 bolts with round flat heads??? Mine just turn in place. Vice grips are kinda working to hold heads while I use an impact.
I took my crash bar off when I got the truck, i didn’t have any issues with the bolts turning though. Maybe grind the smooth side flat with a flap disc if you can get access and punch them out.
I just went out and got the power of fire, lol. Torches will take anything off. I put mine back on with actual bolts now. I noticed a steering and sway difference without it. Thanks for the reply.
@@JDM850 that was my next suggestion, glad you got it.
That’s a hairpin not cotter pin
