Where to professionally install transmission cooler

OEM trans cooler - $20 (egay)
2' trans hose line - $6
Misc HW (every oem screw, bushing, bracket, etc) - $35
zipties for temporary mounting until you get above hardware - free (from dads stash!)
installing an OEM cooler in your SR5 - priceless!!

 

I checked cost to install OEM transmission cooler with a Toyota dealer in San Antonio. They charge close to $1000. I went to a shop for aftermarket cost. They too wanted to charge same. When I look at cost of a good aftermarket cooler price they seem to be anywhere from $100 to less than $300. I wish I could find a shop here in San Antonio that could install at a reasonable price without gouging my eyes out.

 

check out the

$59 hayden 679 universal 11” rapid-cool add-on transmission cooler to enhance cooling (not for direct replacement of the factory unit)

hayden 679, its like $60 at pepboys, vatozone, etc. that and a couple feet of trans line and some mounting hardware and you have yourself a cooler for less than $100!! there are tons of writeups for this model as well as the 678 cooler if you google it.

 

I have done several on Fords and never had a problem. All 4x4s too. Also, I used mine off road. I also put shift lots in them. Usually first things I did after warranty was out.
