Looking for an Upgraded Trans Cooler

That is for the older 26 row. We are looking for the aluminum cooler number.

whoops. I'm late to the party........

That is probably what I will go with since it is cheaper than at the dealer for the aluminum one.

That's the thing, it is the one for a 2005 2500 but who knows if it is the right number of rows. We need a part number for the aluminum one. If it can't be found then I am going to play it safe and go with the old 26.

The newer aluminum one is like a 10-16 row but int is really deep, not like the skinny one we have, it almost looks like a wider/longer version of out power streering cooler.

The one on our 09 is aluminum and the same thickness as ours. Its just massive, like 30 rows.

The one for the 05-08 I are shorter and thick, not the same as your 09

I have the 11 row cooler

So we have a 2010 ram 1500 being fixed at the body shop I work at and they had to remove its grill to fix the damage on it. So I counted the rows on its Granny cooler and it has 50 rows!!!!!! Its is freaking massive!!

you are sure it was for the trans cooler? that would take up the whole radiator front

Yep 100% positive its the tranny cooler.

 

[truckin151]

Damn that thing is huge!! specially since its the same trans as the 3rd gens... Bet its because of the extra hp of the newer rams

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

Wow, that cooler is enormous.

Wow, that cooler is enormous.

Tell me about it. I started counting and was like holy hell how many more rows are there lol

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

Just as an update, I called the dealer today just for ***** and giggles. I gave them the part number for the 26 row cooler and the guy told me that they don't stock it. So I asked if he could get it and he said yes, for $261. Um, no. I will get mine online.

I wonder how much the 50 row one costs for the 4th gens? If we could make it fit then that would be awesome!

 

[AF_Hemi]

Since we're on the topic of coolers... what about radiators? Seems like the hemi puts out a TON of heat, and the radiator is barely sufficient. Are there bigger ones that are a direct swap? or more efficient ones?

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

Here's the 26 row for $170. 52029089AB COOLER

26 rows doesn't seem very cool now since the 4th gens have 50 rows lol

50 rows is very cool, but I bet it is costly and who knows if it would even fit.

 

[Bad Habit]
