old_mate Member 767 Member For: 18y 10m 22d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 02/03/13 10:19 AM Share Posted 02/03/13 10:19 AM I have been running a air/oil cooler for 20,000ks now with few issues. It does take a fair while to warm up - it will go from ambient to 53 degrees fairly quickly (within 10mins) but from there with airflow through the cooler will only creep to a max of 73 degrees. In heavy traffic with no airflow (I run mine behind the foglight) I have seen temps at 96 degrees - which is coolant temp and where zf temps would be at with the exchanger. I am very interested too see how this exchanger works, I would look at running both an exchanger and cooler in series. Only because of the slow warm up of the trans at the moment. I am actually ZFs worst nightmare as I also dont use LifeGuard6. I run a mix of it and the Martini ATF. Will be full flushing with the Martini next trans service only as piece of mind.

F6Fury Member 135 Member For: 12y 1m 10d Posted 02/03/13 10:48 AM Author Share Posted 02/03/13 10:48 AM How much % bigger is it than the standard OEM unit F6Fury or PWRCOOL ??If it's Garantee'd it will not leak & milkshake then it's money well spent IMO, I'd be down for 1 once I can get some good feedback on operating temp's under heavy condition's etc, just so long as there is some sort of Garantee the unit will not leak AT ALL, otherwise I might aswell save coin and just replace original's every 50000k's...hey jet It looks to be just under double the size of the stocker and much thicker,pwr have been using this type of cooler with Little to no failures as a engine oil cooler,zfs don't like constant temp changes that the air to oil cooler gives,I did drive the car today and the trans felt like it got up to temp quite quickly,but once the weather gets better il do more datalogging of the trans temps,the roads are soaking ATM,so bit scary driving around with near on 500hp at the wheels on wet roads,in all honesty I wanted the new type of exchanger to stop the milkshake effect of the that the stock causes,iv never had a temp problem onMy f6 even with the higher hp and zf tune,and as for the guys that buy new stock coolers it's Russian roulette IMHO,I personally saw my friends xr6 fg milkshake,ford covered it under warranty and he got a new tranny and exchanger and then did the same thing 6months later.... Hence the reason why I wanted to get this potential problem sorted asap I really think that ford should be recalling the exchanger and do a redesign free to fg owners,but we all know that's never gonna happen... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beast2h Member 29 Member For: 17y 4m Gender: Male Location: Townsville Posted 02/03/13 11:18 PM Share Posted 02/03/13 11:18 PM do you think it maybe needs a brace in between the mount bolts to stop it flexing on the mount plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
