Testing the Derale trans cooler with 800 cfm fan

[DetailsUnlimited]

Here's a pic of my derale trans cooler I will be testing out. 800 CFM ran to a manual switch in cab. 10AN in/out and 5/8 hose. Seems to be alot of questions about coolers so I will let ya'll know what I find out. I know it's in front of the stack.

That thing looks like it would block a lot of air flow through the radiator, et al., but I'm interested in hearing how it works. Keep us informed.

I would flip it around and use it as a puller. The shroud around the fan was designed for that just like your radiator.

how did u plumb the lines? if it's the hyper cool extreme we just put one on the funk's truck and the paper work clearly stated the fan is designed to be used as a puller.

Went to a local store and found my fittings. They are kinda heavy. Looked into compression fitting's but they wanted $40 a piece. How did you hook yours up? Also if you reread you can reverse the positive/negative wire and make the fan into a puller. I may have bought a different model.

based on that fan shroud, it should come pre-wired as a puller fan. you NEED to flip that cooler/fan/shroud around to get the full affect of the cooler otherwise your fighting yourself. specially if you have not wired it to be a pusher fan with the way it is now.

I guess I will hook the fan up and see real quick.

we use the 15876 and had new ends crimped on and a couple new hoses made.

Wonder how that would do as an engine oil cooler.

i know when we switch the fan on it drops trans fluid temps 20* FAST after we heat it up during a stage and pass

like how you did yours... agree shroud blocks alot of the air when driving down the road..
heres how i did mine. i ran a temp switch 180* between the rad cooler and intlet side of the air cooler. then fuse hard wire to the bat with a led indicator light in the dash. only time it comes on is stop n go or slow speed where the TC isnt locked if its running when i stop i leve the truck idleing till the can shuts off
