Has anyone installed the Troyer Performance Active Automatic Transmission Cooler Kit on a F150?

I just ordered the kit and was wanting to see where people are installing them at for best air flow!

 

Hi.

I believe several folks have done this or equivalent - (it's a Derale cooler).

You may want to ask the folks at TP for a recommended location. They certainly would know. They also sell extension ohoses if required.

Since it's got an active fan, mounting location is probably not as crucial as it would be for a passive unit. I'd want to consider mounting it for protection myself - so somewhere in the front clip vicinity(?)

Here's what their website says:

"Everything you need to do an installation is included. There is enough transmission fluid hose (4 ft.) to install this unit close to the engine, transmission fluid lines, radiator, etc. area, which is where we normally mount them in F-series vehicles, etc. You can mount this Remote Cooler anywhere of course, even all the way back at the rear of the vehicle if you like, all you'll need is longer length hose"

"The cooler is designed to be a true remote-mount cooler you can install anywhere on the vehicle, as necessary airflow for cooling is supplied by the fan. With the inline thermostat installed on the inlet of the cooler and connected to the fan as per the included simple wiring diagram, the fan will activate automatically at 180 degrees of transmission fluid temperature, and deactivate once the fluid temperature has dropped to 170 degrees. This keeps the automatic transmission fluid temperature optimal, and within a narrowly defined range for most efficient operation and longest transmission service life."

Good luck.

I found a pic of it mounted in front of the big rad, I'm thinking about putting it there.
