what coolers does a stock 4.0 sohc come with just curious. i know the tranny one do we have any others and where are they located! thanks a bunch.

 

Power steering, located in front of the rack.

 

Thanks No Oil Cooler?

 

No.

Not many cars/trucks come with oil coolers.

 

Do all 4.0's come w/ the transmission cooler? For some reason I thought it was only those that had the towing package ?

 

No, its a 4wd thing.

Towing package was just hitch if IIRC, atleast if you have a 4wd anyway.

 

Ahh okay, thank's for clearing that up. I think vinny has 2WD (he has 3.55 gears listed in his sig) so thus my confusion.

 

If you don't have a transmission cooler. It would be high on my mods list to do.

 

Where can I get one and how hard are they to install?

 

weird...my '03 4.0 2wd has one from factory right behind the grille on the lower passenger side in front of the radiator/AC condensor assembly. At least I assume that's what it is. It's about a foot long.

 

It appears (for whatever reason) Ford "picked & choosed" which trucks got tranny coolers during 02-03. I have several friends with 01-03 Rangers, and even though a few trucks are the same, NONE came from the factory equipped like the others. When I bought my 03 4x4 4.0, I had to order the tow package to get the tranny cooler, BUT a friend with an 03 2wd 4.0 & no tow package has a tranny cooler. Another guy with an 02 4wd 4.0 & no tow package, doesn't have a cooler. I have no clue how they decided which trucks got coolers. I think all the 4wd get them now though.

 

for 02-03 it was "supposed" to be for tow package rangers. but like TC said, ford kinda picked and choosed...

my 02 supercab 4x4 had no towing package installed but it does have a tranny cooler

 

ALL automatics have transmission coolers factory.......they are built into the radiator......it is very wise to add a tranny cooler onto factory radiator cooled cooler......

Summit Racing sells B&M Tranny coolers for around $50.....that is were i got mine from.....here is a link to the one i have.......it keeps my tranny about 45* cooler than the stock radiator cooler did....

Maybe we should have used the words auxiliary or secondary. Your right all autos have a cooler in the radiator, but they are very weak at cooling a hot transmission.

I just installed that exact cooler this past week. I still need to get a temperature gauge. I'm wanting to have a line pressure and EPC pressure gauge too.

 

What is the small radiator looking cooler that is on the lower drivers side behind my grille? It is in front of the radiator/AC condensor stack, closer to the grille. I thought that was the tranny cooler instead of one being part of the radiator.

 

That should be your tranny cooler...but it should be on the pass side though.

 

that's what i was thinking!?!

 

I'm sorry, passenger side...I dunno why I wrote drivers side. I have gotten so many varying opinions on what that is, I was just wanting to make sure.
