Transmission Cooler Kit to suit Toyota Prado 150 1GD 2.8L & 1KD 3L

It's no secret that off-road tracks and long-haul journeys can be particularly hard on your vehicle's transmission, especially when towing, driving low-range in sand or mud, or following an aftermarket performance tune. Our Automatic Transmission Cooler Kit is designed to keep your operating temperatures down, extending the longevity of both your lubricant and transmission. 

Our kit includes a Tru-Cool LPD Auto Trans Cooler core, which features 30% more cooling and 15 times less flow restriction than traditional tube and fin design.

FEATURES: 

• Includes a high-quality self-regulating Tru-Cool Low-Pressure Drop (LPD) Transmission Oil Cooler Core. 
• Tru-Cool Core has a unique cold bypass valve feature, ensuring your transmission reaches optimum operating temperatures quicker.
• The cooler achieves up to 30% more cooling and 15 times less flow restriction than traditional tube and fin core designs.
• Powder-coated stainless steel brackets mount to captive holes for an easy DIY no-drill install.
• Includes brackets for easy hose routing and management. 
• Durable nitrile hoses are reinforced with braided fibres and covered by a hypalon outer resistant to abrasion, oil and heat.

HOW THE COLD BYPASS WORKS: 

The optimum operating temperatures for Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) are between 75-95°C. When ATF is cold, it is more viscous.

Tru-Cool LPD Transmission Coolers have a uniquely cold weather passive bypass that allows the thicker ATF (below 82°C) to flow more efficiently through the cooler at the top of the system. As operating temperatures increase, ATF becomes hotter and thinner. It is then directed through the core, where it is cooled. The result: longer life for your transmission.

INCLUDES:

All to suit the Toyota Prado 150 1GD & 1KD:

• Tru-Cool LPD Transmission Cooler Core 
• Transmission Cooler Mounting Brackets
• Hose Management Bracket
• Automatic Transmission Hoses 
• All the hose clamps, zip ties and hardware you'll need to complete the installation

You will need to source 200-300ml of Automatic Transmission Fluid, we recommend using Genuine Toyota WS AT Fluid. 

This Transmission Cooler Kit uses brackets that are Australian Designed and Made, and is packed in Australia. Tru-Cool Coolers are made by Dana.

Is galvanic corrosion a concern with the Trans Cooler kit? 

Galvanic corrosion is mainly an issue where the contact points between Aluminium and Stainless Steel surfaces are wet for extended periods. As the trans cooler is located in a high-heat area that tends to stay dry, and the proportion of aluminium is high in relation to stainless steel, the risk of galvanic corrosion is minimal. We also powder coat our brackets to further allay any concerns, providing an additional buffer layer. 

Is this compatible with DCDC chargers that are mounted in the same area? 

It is compatible with:

• KAON DCDC Charger Mounting Brackets (KS0201/ KS0194)
• REDARC DCDC Charger Mounting Bracket
