Really detailed. Very good for folks having doubts on how to install the kit . This is a really great example for people who put up how to videos.
Thanks man, I really appreciate that!… It’s great to know people are benefiting from my videos, thanks for watching!
I have been a Transmission mechanic for 30 years now and I sold coolers to all my customers could not believe Toyota eliminated the cooler on my 19 but it does say I have one on the window sticker maybe one day I will get reimbursed for installing a cooler on my Tundra Great video I watch all your videos
Thanks for the support and feedback!...and I totally agree, still can’t understand why they removed something that has been there for years, and now all of a sudden they claim it’s not needed...makes no sense...thanks for watching!
Get a lawyer.
It's because the government made them change which kind of refrigerant they used, because global warming lies. I heard they had to make a bigger condenser and it didn't leave room to have the cooler, and maybe they didn't want to spend on redesign or whatever the fix would be, after all being the last couple model years.
This video is fantastic!!! I have a 2008 5.7l with an AB60F trans. I live in Maine and one of my transmission cooler lines rotted out. I used this video as reference to replace the cooler lines and get the fluid level correct. I bought the Veepeak and the OBD Fusion app.
Amazing how much easier these repairs are these days with reference from great contributors like yourself. Thanks so much!!!
Thanks for the feedback Dan, much appreciated!!…glad it helped out, thanks for watching!!
Just added Nick's cooler to my 2020 Limited. High quality kit and excellent install video. Definitely worth installing IMO. My temps, while towing, sit at 195 degrees like they should.
Thanks Jeremy!...couldn’t agree more, this kit is well worth the piece of mind, my temps have been MUCH better since install!...thanks for watching!
Good video . I did a cooler install on my 19' last summer as well ... I tow a 30ft travel trailer with my tundra and the cooler upgrade was a must ! . I welded in a bung into the trans pan which allowed me to install an Autometer trans temp gauge . Gives me accurate pan temps all the time .
Thanks Jordan!...and yea, that’s an awesome idea...Definitely a must in my opinion as well, especially for anyone who tows a lot... thanks for watching!
Thanks for doing this. I feel much better about installing it myself now. Make sure you pull the thermostat pin!
Thanks for the feedback Marc!...yea I realized after I finished uploading video that I forgot to mention that last step, so I wrote in down in the video info section...thanks for watching, much appreciated!!
Just finished nick's cooler install on my 2021. Using his install video, zero issues and turned out to be a fun project. Thanks Nick!
Thanks for watching Tony!
Do u know what the part number for the metal lines
Thank you very much for posting this very thorough video! You referencing the hard line mounting locations as well as the orientation of the lines from the thermostat was super helpful. It's people like you making videos like this that make the world a better place.
Thanks to you and your time an effort in this video, I Completed this mod on my 2021 Tundra and the results were outstanding! With the thermostat pinned open I was unable to get a temp greater than 187 while in tow/haul mode with an outside temp of 95 here in South Carolina. Now I was trying my best and driving hard. With it unpinned in normal thermostat mode, 190 degrees was the highest I could achieve. As comparison to yesterday before the install is was 94 degrees outside and I would achieve 209 degrees in normal around town driving. I ordered the parts OE parts from Sparks and a Derale Hyper cool from eTrailer. As far as I could tell, the fan didn’t cycle until I pulled in my driveway and put it in park and heat soak finally triggered the fan thermostat which is set for turning on around 185 and off at 177. Would of bought the Genuine Cool kit, but a day late and dollar short. Great mod what ever route you go. Thanks
Nitro, that was so detailed and informative, even I can do it. which I will, I ordered the kit this morning. I also tow a bass boat and other heavy things. peace of mind in these hot Alabama summers. Thank You very much for your time making this video.
Thanks for the feedback Mark!!...and I totally agree, I would rather have peace of mind especially when towing...if ya need anything with the install, don’t be afraid to reach out to me, thanks for watching!!
Thanks for your videos bud. I have a '21 Platinum, and I've been looking at adding air bags and the wireless controller / compressor. This showed up as a recommended video and I completely forgot Toyota removed the transmission coolers. I have quite the parts list now. Thank again, for the very detailed videos.
No prob man, thanks for watching!…yea I feel like the list never stops growing 🤣…thankfully I have a very understanding wife…let me know if I can help at all!
Great video! I watched it twice and then used it as reference during the install that took me about 3 1/2 hours. I moved the thermostat pin so that gravity couldn't pull it out (I thought this was kind of weak.), but after reading the comments I am going to go pull it out. Can't wait to monitor temps the next time I pull our travel trailer. Guessing I won't see 263 F again!
Thanks Bryan, much appreciated!!...yea this kit makes a TON of difference in temps...I haven’t seen a pan temp above 200 yet, crazy what a difference!
Really appreciate the video . I put the cooler in Today . Pulling my 3000lb travel trailer in March from Page Az to Flagstaff I saw 270. My tacoma even with a small cooler (same trailer) never saw those temps.
People that don’t think it’s needed for towing have no idea what they are talking about .
Cooler FTW!
🙌
Totally agree, I respect everyone’s opinion but this is a topic I absolutely think is a no brainer...heat kills transmissions, so why they took this out is mind boggling to me...thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video, was super helpful! Just finished installing the cooler on my 2019 Tundra, and it wouldn't have gone as smoothly without consulting your video.
Thanks for the feedback, glad it helped!
Just got my complete kit Monday. I am using your video to install Saturday. I am also flushing the transmission fluid with amsoil.
Great video Sir! I just installed my kit from Nick today. Very easy and straightforward after watching your video. Keep up the awesome content! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the feedback Ken!…glad it helped ya out!
I've watched this video several times because it is so informative and well done......and I already have a transmission cooler lol
Thank you, I appreciate that!!…that’s awesome to hear!!
Toyota owes customers trans cooler that was labeled on sales sticker. Class action needed. Nice video.
Yea I’ve heard the class action idea mentioned a few times....surprised someone hasn’t pursued it yet, I’m still scratching my head on why they would remove such an inexpensive part!
To sell more transmissions and transmission components. Lol
@@GunSnob yes. I'm sure that's why they did it. 🙄
@@NitroZ18Fishing because this is the beginning of toyots downfall when it comes to reliability. Don't know what made them think "hey!! What IF we take out all the trans coolers!" Then the rest of toyota starts cheering
@@NitroZ18Fishing of Toyota wants to sell more trucks then Chevy, Ford, and Dodge then they have to do away with quality control.
Just did this today on my 2019 Tundra. A few things were different, but pretty straight forward. I bought the aluminum cooler and I didn’t have a bracket or ground for the horn. I just moved it to another location... thanks for this video....my kit had no real instructions.
No prob, thanks for watching!...yea he upgraded the cooler to a slightly better option after I did the video, glad it was an easy install for ya!
Thanks for the video - was very helpful and well done. Putting the hoses on the thermostat before installing it was a very good tip.
Thanks Scott!...yea that definitely makes life a lot easier, thanks for watching!
Really well done video. Thanks for putting this together!
thanks Steve, I appreciate it!!...thanks for watching!!
Great video, thank you. I just shook hands on a 2019 limited, very low mile Tundra, I've built an 80 series Land Cruiser from scratch. We currently use a 2007 Tundra to tow we've had for years, but cross country and longer trips. The 2007 4.7 struggles
I was blown away. Toyota did not have a transmission cooler on the 2019 to 2021 Tundra.
Needed the same thing, went a different direction to achieve similar result. Running 35” tires so I re-geared to 5.29 Nitro Gears. Now I can turn these tires like they are stock size and my transmission stays much cooler due to gear difference. OBDII shows consistently low transmission temps even while towing. Obviously this costs a lot more money, but I took care of two issues at once.
Great video!
Nice!…I considered re-gearing but just never had it done…I kinda wish I did to be honest…thanks for watching!
Great video. Very informative. I'm not sure (yet) if I need the transmission cooler. I did purchase an OBD scanner ( Veepeak) and the OBD fusion app.I followed your instructions for the ATF Pan and Torque Converter, so I will be able to monitor their temps going forward. Thanks for making it so easy to set up. I got temps for both immediately.
thank you!!...yea keep an eye on em, it's highly debated on whether it's needed or not, but most feel it's better to be safe than sorry...especially if towing...let me know how you make out, and thanks for watching!!
Got the same kit, Do not tow much but want this truck to last. Great kit as most of it is factory and his mounts are perfect!
Yes sir, he definitely puts a nice kit together!...thanks for watching!
I don’t even own a tundra but I heard about how Toyota removed the trans cooler off their trucks. Was watching while snacking on chips. Great video!
Thank you, I appreciate it!…yea it’s crazy, I don’t care what they say, I think they made a mistake when they removed it from our trucks…thanks for watching!
Wow you really put this together well. I got a 2020 Tundra and plan to add this after my warranty is up . I'm not towing anything at the moment but want the transmission to go the distance running cooler not frying up components.
thanks Joe, much appreciated!!...thanks for watching!!
The holes in the right side of the transmission where the ATF flows into the heater are threaded. You can remove the factory heater, and thread in two 3/8” nipples, run the hose to the front and connect it to an aux trans cooler. A Derale 13011 bypass will keep it from over-cooling the fluid in winter temps. And much cheaper than the factory kit.
Nice job thank you. Just bought the same kit for my 2020 pro. Wasn’t too happy when they said my truck came with a oil cooler on the window sticker to out it really doesn’t have one.Be blessed
Thanks man!...yea I wasn’t too happy with the temps I was seeing without it, it was almost a no brainer for me especially with towing the boat...thanks for watching!
You’re welcome
Awesome step-by-step instructions!!!! Very honest and knowledgeable guy!!!!!
Thank you, I greatly appreciate that!!
Watched the video for the upgrade, subbed for you rescuing old blue 👍🏼
Thank you for the support, I appreciate it!
My Scan Gauge II showed 230 degrees yesterday not towing in South East Texas . Outside temp was 100 F . We tow a 5xxx travel trailer and seeing these temps with no trailer has made me want to do this kit . Thanks for the info / video .
No problem, thanks for checking it out!… Definitely a worthwhile addition if you tow a lot, my temperatures were much improved, gave me peace of mind!
I just bought a 2020 platinum and this will be a must do mod. Great diy!! Thank you!!
No prob, thanks for checking it out!!…good luck with the new truck!!
Another outstanding and informative video. Thanks for the info. Go Blue!
Thanks Terry, much appreciated!!...and he’s definitely my side kick, he’ll be making appearances on future videos I’m sure!
Thank you sir for all the information. You got yourself a new subscriber.
Thanks man, greatly appreciated!!...thanks for following along!!
That is a professional install! Nice work.
Super job on this video. I purchased a 21 - had to go to Kansa to get the one I wanted - I'm in Texas. I'm in the big city and we must have theft protection for the catalytic converters - two were stolen in our church parking lot in the middle of the day a week ago. Both vehicles were Toyota's with a higher profile. I purchased the theft protection plate from KW at Offroad Desert Eagle - he has sold many of these over the last 12 years. KW did let me know that he has done all he can to give good ventilation for the catalytic converters but....there would be higher temps experienced and that could impact transmission oil temps - especially in Texas. I will be towing a 4.5K trailer with the Tundra and decided with the trailer towing and "cat" protection - the installation of the transmission cooler is a good idea. I wish I would have found your video sooner - I had already purchase several items from Sparks and a Hayden cooler from Parts Geek. The kit would have saved me from finding these parts! Still having a problem finding the right "hard line" set. Of course - I must choose a 2018 part as the 21 does not have it on the truck but it appears there are at least two choices of hard lines. If you have a part number or someone does - I would appreciate it. Thanks again - very informative.
Thanks Jim, I appreciate that!…adding the cooler is 💯 worth it, temps are MUCH better!…shoot Nick (the guy who sells these kits) an email, I’m sure he’d be happy to help ya with the part number, he’s a great guy to work with!…I’m not sure of it so unfortunately I’m no help there, I’m sorry!
@@NitroZ18Fishing Nick got right back with me. If I would have found him sooner - no doubt I would have purchased the kit. I will get the price down a little but he has done all the homework and has quality parts and support. He is a sharp fella. Thanks, Jim
Yea he’s a great guy to work with, knows his stuff for sure!
Great video. Very detailed. Sat and watched the whole thing and I don’t even own a Tundra. Lol. I drive a Camry. Left you a like. Great job.
Thanks man, I appreciate that!!...glad someone doesn’t find me too boring...lol!...thanks for watching!
I got a 19 Tundra and I’m going to do this. Its funny this is in my feed when for the last 2 weeks iv been looking into what is the best ones. So thank you for the website cause I’m defiantly going to look into this.
Yea no prob!…I highly recommend it, my temps are MUCH better since the install…especially with towing…if ya need any help just say the word, thanks for watching!
@@NitroZ18Fishing thank you! Will do
This video was the best keep up the great job so we’ll explained …awesome video
Thanks so much, I appreciate that!!
Love video. I done same setup as your. I highly recommended put electric fan mount transmission cooler front. I put fan switch and scanguage2 monitor temp. This has help when I'm pulling my RV trailer.
Thanks Marc!...and ok awesome, I’ll check into that, I appreciate it!
Or if you know you're going to be in hot weather and towing heavy ...just pin the thermostat open and your temps will never go above 200...I watch a video of a guy to left his pinned open in hot weather and it stayed at 165.
Thanks so much for a well made video. I would have never figured out setting up the PID's. One question someone may be able to help me with. How can I adjust the voltage readout? It's off by a full volt and I have verified this by three different meters.
Nice video. I have an 2018 tundra . But this answers a lot of questions for folks
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
I follow your information to set up the OBD-II Scan tool (Veepeak)it work but when I go to the main screen click on dashboards to monitor Atf pan and torque converter, my screen don't display two windows , one for aft pan another for torque converter like your, how do you set up to had on like that to monitor them?
Is this only for the 5.7 engine? I have a 2019 with the 4.6 and I tow an Rv this would be helpful. Great video thanks
What a great video waiting for my 2021 to arrive I already have the kit
Thanks Lawrence, I appreciate it!…good luck with the new truck!
You are unbelievable doing all that! Very nice and informative video.
I was trying to see what kind of running boards do you have in your truck .. thanks
Thanks man, I appreciate it!…love these projects, I’m always messing with something when I have some free time…haha…my running boards are actually from eBay, got em for $150 but honestly don’t recommend them…they’re rusting real bad and I’m about to swap em…for the price I guess I got my moneys worth, but they don’t hold up like the higher end brands!
Hi curious where does the hoses from the heat exchanger run to do they run to the heater core just curious on the original set up
Great job. Thanks for sharing info.
No prob, thank you for watching!!
I did the full set up and it tests good but when I go to dashboards I just have the default one. It looks like you need to add the individual displays from the user defined PIDs. That seemed to do the trick.
Excellent step by step video. Thanks
No prob, thank you!... I appreciate that!
Great job with the video well done.
Thanks Steve, I appreciate it!!
Excellent video. Very well done!
Thank you, I appreciate that!!
I've got the Stillen Kit. With the Stillen kit you can run the cooler hoses through the cut out. That's what I did with mine.
I actually thought about doing that, it’s a great idea!… Thanks for watching!
Tundra specific kit?
I have a 2010 Tundra 4.6 4x4 I noticed transmission temperatures as high as 260 degrees while towing small boat and averaged 215 -225 degrees during regular driving around town by myself. I added a thermostat with aftermarket cooler high temp lines. The thermostat opens at 185 degrees and while towing it gets no higher and 188 degrees. I should’ve installed one long ago, Toyota kept telling me it could not be done. If you tow or carry heavy loads it’s well worth it.
Absolutely!!…makes no sense to me why they would remove it, it’s not even that expensive of a part!…thanks for watching!
Stellar job on this video, Great job. Thanks
Thanks man, I appreciate that!!
Got a question, i just got my kit in, trying to install the app. Every time I check custom pid to add the icon, the app keeps the "speed" as the name on the icon and it reads speed on the display, not trans temp. How do i get the app to stop adding "speed" every time I go to add trans temp guage ? It literally changes it from trans temp to speed ? I have a 2019
How do you add your own dashboards for the ATF pan and the torque converter? Do not understand.
Clarification please. What cycles the fluid into the cooler and where is the air going? Is that what is pushing out the excess fluid when you are draining at the end, as the air comes back front the cooler? It's then a closed system again once you pull the pin till it reaches what temp for the thermostat to open? Great video by the way. Looks like my brother and I could tackle this project on my 2019 TRD.
Wouldn’t this void the warranty if installed at home? I just got a 2019 tundra
Did the install today all went well they did change the cooler to a horizontal cooler. Everything went great until I got the VIP Fusion
I could not get the values to flip to the dashboard with gauges. I was forced to keep hitting the test button until I hit the Pan Temp.
What is the secret
Excellent excellent video. Thanks for the work on this.
Thank you, I appreciate that!!
Thanks for sharing this information.
No prob, thanks for watching Steve!!
How much PTU for the cooler capacity should be chosen for this tundra ?
Awesome dude. Toyota Tundra one badass truck on planet Earth
Thanks man!...and yes sir, agreed...my favorite pick up out there for sure!
Thank you for the video. Kit ordered from Nick.
no prob, thanks for watching David!!
@@NitroZ18Fishing Success! Installed today. Twisting the hard line into place just took a few minutes but your video was clear and really helped explain that part. Attaching the 2 hoses at the front to the hard line was a fight, that was the most difficult part. Still can’t believe they removed this but even left the bracket near the warmer for the hoses. Thanks again for the video.
awesome, glad to hear it man!...yea getting them hoses on to the hard lines in the front was no picnic...haha...thanks again for watching!!
do you run the engine with the thermostat pinned to fill cooler prior to opening overflow?
Great Video. It was only now that I realized there is NO trans cooler on my 2020 Toyota Tundra. My Q is I'm about to buy a Supercharger and the intercooler has to be mounted in the area where the trans cooler is, can this be accomplished? I realize my mechanic and I will have to get really creative. What are your thoughts on this???
Thanks Louis, I appreciate that!...and that’s a great question, I’m honestly not sure...I’m also considering a SC and never thought of that, if you don’t mind, keep me posted on how you make out with that...I’d love to hear how you mount the intercooler!... thanks for watching!
Does anyone know of an OBD2 scanner that will read the transmission oil temp on the Tundra. If we're going to install a cooler, would be nice to see the temps, and know its working.
I commend you on your amazing tutorial! Well done! I'm debating on purchasing a Toyota Tundra and was concerned about the new models not having a transmission cooler. One question, does your trans. Temp get up to design specs? I have talked with a few Toyota master mechanics, they stressed it is important to get the transmission temp up to temp.
Thanks Jason, I appreciate that!…pan temps get up to low-mid 190’s, but haven’t gone over 200 once that I’ve noticed...so they’re just about perfect for me...thanks for watching!
As soon as the oil hit your Apple Watch I freaked out....lol.
Hahahaha....my wife always yells at me to take it off when I’m workin on the truck...You can see how much I listen 🤣
I just bought a Tundra 2020 with RWD. Does anyone have this version and experience overheating? During towing / during normal driving?
Also, do folks with all other models that are lacking the factory cooler generally only experience overheating when towing?
Man that is a killer video. Great job👍👍👍👍 i need this for my 2020 platinum too.
Thanks brother!!... I definitely recommend it for sure… He puts some awesome kits together for us… I believe he sold out after I made the video but shoot him an email, he’s taking orders for when it’s back in stock
Yeah I just checked and I saw he is sold out. I will have to hit him up.
Hey do you notice any performance differences other than cooler trans temps with the cooler installed?
haven't really noticed too much with performance gains, but temps are MUCH better...highest I've seen since install is 192 in the pan, huge improvement...it can only help for sure!
Can I just fill the cooler with fluid before before I put the lines on the cooler its self? Nice work.
super nice and informative video ... i watched the entire video, and i dont even own a Tundra .. :)
Thanks so much, I appreciate that!!
did I miss it? When (if ever) is the "pin" pulled on the thermostat?
I towed 6k the other day for 45 minutes in the transmission temp was 238. Outside temperature was in low 60’s, so I’m sure it would be over 250 in the summer. Just ordered and will do transmission fluid change with AMSOIL ATF.
Yea the temps without a cooler are way too high for me, this was a no brainer!...well worth it, thanks for watching!
Amsoil is some top shelf oils, I’ve been using it in lawn equipment and my diesel and gas trucks. Here’s how good amsoil synthetic is, I bought a new blower and it wants me to run 32:1 mix ratio, with amsoil Sabre I’m mixing 100:1, 1.5 ounces of oil per gallon.
This was an excellent video. Great job!
Is there any advantage to filling the cooler with fluid prior to connecting the hoses? Might fill the system with fluid faster?
Thank you, I appreciate that!!...yea you can definitely do that, I just tried to follow the instructions given with the kit so it didn’t get confusing for anyone who purchases it...but that would absolutely work!
What do you mean remove pin from the thermostat an how much was your bed liner mine is sprayed by I wanna carpet over it the tail gate is getting attached an yours covers it nicely thanks for the quick response loving the tundra videos about to do trd exhaust on my 2021
That small pin that I show earlier in the video on the thermostat needs to be removed as the final step of the entire process… My bed cover is called the bed rug, I want to say I paid somewhere around $400 for it… I love it, I’ve had it on all three of my tundras… Easy to clean and keeps the bed from getting scratched up at all… Thanks for checking out the videos!
Hey I know u posted this a long time ago. I’m looking for the part number for the metal trans lines.
Thanks Nitro!!! I am shopping for a used Tundra now… was going to try and stay at ‘18 or older for this reason but this gives me confidence to look newer and get this corrected. One question though… is there a way to have a permanent gauge that is hard wired in and mounted on my dashboard? Do you ( or anyone know what I would need to do for that?) I would like to keep constant monitoring without taking over my phone…. Just wondering? Thanks again for such an informative video!!! And… fish on!!!
Hey Danny!...thank you, I appreciate the feedback!...that's an excellent question, and I'm honestly not sure...hopefully someone can chime in for ya...I would imagine there would be a way to rig one up but that's something I never even thought of!
@@NitroZ18Fishing Hey maybe Nick might know … oh and how does your phone through the app actually “pick up” the temperature? I can’t figure that one out.
Well I finally got around to installing the transmission cooler. Thanks for the good video. What kind of temps are you at when towing?
Hey Aaron, glad the video helped out!…my pan temps never get over 200, even when towing…such an awesome improvement over what I was seeing before install!
Excellent instructional video. Would this kit work with a ‘21 TRD Pro ?
Thank you!!…yepper, it works with all models up to the new Gen (2022)…years 19-21 are all compatible, thanks for watching!
This is seriously one of the most informative videos I’ve seen on any install of any part on any vehicle.
Do you think this would be an upgrade on my 2017 tundra or does the OEM cooler work just as well?
Thank you, I appreciate that!!...and honestly I think you’re ok with the OEM piece on yours...I have no clue why Toyota removed these on the 2019-present Tundras after including it all those years....if you want to be sure, you can get the OBD2 scanner that I mentioned and linked below video and watch your temps...if they run high then I would consider upgrading to this kit, but you should be good with the OEM one... thanks for watching!
When you put transmission cooler, does it increase your car oil transmission consumption? ? How many litres increase when you re-fill?
Great video thanks for posting.
No prob, thanks for watching!
Great video guy, just curious what interval are you changing your transmission oil? I have about 43K and I wish I had known about this earlier.
Thanks man, I appreciate it!...so much info out there about when to change transmission fluid, but I plan on doing mine between 30-40k, mainly because I tow somewhat frequently
Do you know if there is any significant difference between the Hayden 778HD kit and the MHX-514 kit on the Genuine Cooling Systems website for the 2020 Tundra? Also, will these kits fit the TRD-Pro and are the install instructions you provided the same?
I’m not too familiar with the MHX, I believe it’s just a slight upgrade over the Hayden but if you email him directly he’ll give you a definitive answer for sure, he’s a great guy to do business with!...and yepper, install would be the exact same on the Pro, thanks for watching!
How many hours is fair to be charged by a shop to have this kit installed?
What if you dont tow anything u think u still need it ?
Why do you need an OBD reader to monitor temp pan? You can use a scanner + temp gun right? Correct if I’m wrong
No sir, you’re correct!...if you have a temp gun you can absolutely use that, thanks for watching!
When do you pull the pin?
Do you or any of the viewers know what temp the thermastat will open up at?
Did you added the enhanced diagnostics add-on for additional 10$ to get the aft temp? Thanks
Yes sir, I added that on...but haven’t played too much with it yet...I’m thinking about doing a video talking about the app/module and showing all the features it offers, there’s a ton on info on it!
Another outstanding and very informative info.
I have the Samsung phone, downloaded the app. Follow all the information but stuck on the last row call "Equation". Did you have to enter the numbers manually?
On my end it shows (A*256+B)/4. But yours look (A*256)+B)* (7/100)-400)/10)
Please help
Thanks
thank you!...and yepper, you have to enter it manually for it to work, should look exactly like pictured...hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
@@NitroZ18Fishing
Thank you for your quick response. Will give it a try
yea no prob, let me know how ya make out!
Great video. Thanks for taking your time and being very detailed. Probably going to order a kit in the spring. What were your transmission temps before and after install. Thanks.
Thank you!...before install I would see temps as high as 230+ in the pan when towing...now I haven’t seen anything above 205-210, when I’m not towing the pan never goes over 195...huge improvement...thanks for watching!
@@NitroZ18Fishing were you in 4th gear or in 5th or 6th?
TFL tested the Tundra transmission without the cooler on the IKE gauntlet (long uphill section of freeway near Eisenhower Tunnel in Colorado). They concluded that transmission temperature rose to high levels, but never exceeded maximum design temperature.
yes sir, I saw that video...I'm just not comfortable with the temps I have been seeing, and I've already heard several cases of people getting warnings due to it...I just figured better safe than sorry, especially since I tow alot!...thanks for watching!!
I saw that same video and they did that test on a fall day in Colorado maybe 50-60 degrees max. I’d have to imagine the transmission temps would be higher on a 80-90 degree day.
thanks for the feedback Michael!...totally agree, this is one mod I highly recommend on our Tundras!
Howdy. I'm in the middle of my install. I'm probably over thinking this. I assume the cooler is itself doesn't have a flow direction. Meaning. Fluid coming in and Fluid coming out could go either way. I'm pondering something.
Hey John!…that’s correct, on the cooler I installed the flow didn’t matter…hope that helps!
Thank you for the video. Really easy and very well explained. I have a question for you that i may have missed the answer. I see the pin in the thermostat. Is the thermostat pinned and the oils is flowing thru the new cooler at the time you check the level ?
Thank you again for your video.
Thanks for watching Virgil!...Yepper, leave that pin in until after the entire process is completed, it should be the very last thing ya do...you can remove it before going for test drive, but I left mine in until I knew there were no leaks and everything was buttoned up...so it was literally the very last thing I did...hope that helps!

Thank you very much. It did helped a lot.
no prob!
Great video love your Tundra, I just subscribe and like your video. I have a question which one is the cooler line that goes back to the transmission is at the bottom of the radiator
Thanks Tony, much appreciated!!...if I remember correctly the return hose is the one on bottom...but let me verify that for ya just to be sure!
@@NitroZ18Fishing yes your right I felt the upper hose and it was hot. I tap it into the lower hose. Thanks again
Great videos. I'm going to buy a kit
Thanks Aaron!... much appreciated!
