mjhpadi Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I understand, for many years, I only got one weekend off every sixth week , so it's understandable why you haven't had a chance to spend some time with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve142857 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Finally had the aux trans cooler installed at the Ford dealer close to my home. At the same time, I had the 170F thermostat installed and now I am just waiting for the adjusted tune from Rick at LMS. I will upgrade to MyCal instead of the SCT device I have now. This allows Dan to access some tables that aren't even in the SCT device and will allow me to datalog and benefit from a better technology device. So, I should receive the new tuner next week and be able to load up the new tune. So, first comment is that temps seems to be always between 170-180F... But it is only after having driven it last night and this morning. It took the guy 5 hours to: Remove/replace front bumper; Install the aux trans cooler (a bit trickier because of methanol pump in the way. He also shortened the hose of the trans cooler that was a few inches too long. Also he adjusted a few things so that everything looks OEM and clean) Install the T170F Change all 6 plugs that were overdue. Changed for Denso ITV22 (one degree cooler than OEM). He adjusted the gap to 30 and made sure they were all perfect. He did the bleeding of trans fluid etc. The car runs very very well let me tell you that! All-in, it was a 5 hours job (at 79$ per hour! ouch!)... So more time than Mike (bpd1151) was indicating, but the job is very well done, so I can't complain. Very happy with the results so far and it'll only be cooler with the adjusted tune with fan settings for 170F thermostat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 He billed you at 5hrs, but i'm sure had it done in less time. J/K :boink: Anyhow, you have to keep in mind that you did several other things besides just the installation of the cooler. Plugs. Thermo. Trans fluid swap out. Had you done just the cooler, you would've been closer to my projected times. Glad to hear though that your experiencing similar (lower) temps as I have. I'm tell'n 'ya, FMC hit it right by not only developing these parts in the 1st place, but also being able to easily retro-fit them onto the '10, '11, & '12 model years. My Aux Oil Cooler mod is next up & install will hopefully be completed within the next 2 weeks or so. Yet another cooling aspect added to my SHO that will ensure it's durability and longevity, especially come more tack time :thumb: Thanks for posting Steve! :yo: Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve o Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 He also shortened the hose of the trans cooler that was a few inches too long. . I never shortened my hoses, it sits a little off to the passenger side. This allows bolting to a threaded hole thats already there and drilling a hole and using a nut.

Crash712us Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I can't remember if shorten mine and mine is off to passenger side as well, I think I would have needed to if I centered on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 If you centered it, then you would've had to shorten the hoses by about 1"...... No big deal really. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo42987 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 So I feel like I've been reading for awhile and I am not seeing WHY it is important to be running cooler temps for the transmission. By default, running cooler is usually always a positive, but what exactly do you gain by doing this? I know you posted that you are getting smoother gear changes, but does it give more life to the tranny, etc.? What are the main reasons for adding this mod? Thanks.

Blaine109 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I think as I read through the thread I saw that excessive high temps can harden the rubber gaskets/seals which can lead to leaks. Also, as the temps get high, the transmission oil will start to lose some of its lubricating properties which can lead to transmission failures/problems.

Crash712us Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 As of BDP gauge pod install of a trans temp gauge. He discovered trans temps where running dangerously high, with in 10 degrees of seal damaging temps. If remember his temps where around 220f and at 230f you are damaging seals. I just know prior to installing when trans was hot at low speed 1st to 2nd shift where extremely hard. Felt like I got ass ended. Since I have not experienced. For you have tougher dilemma, I wish I could say for certain on modifying and relocating the radar sensor. I miss not having and was great feature. And I really want to get back working again. I am sure it is possible. In hind sight I should have work modifying the trans cool kit and left the radar sensor alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I but I hope to have it resolved soon.[/quote']Crash, I was up at the dealership and was asking some general information about the possible differences between the 2013 and older years. It seems that there is only 1 option for the transcooler so I asked if there is a possible difference with the mounting bracket for the ACC radar. He did say that there is a new part number but couldn't say if it was indeed different. I was in a little bit of a hurry and he was moving really slow so I didn't both to get any part numbers. Wondering if possibly someone who is in good with their parts guy can look into it to see if the mounting bracket for the 2013 will work on the 2010/11/12 years and clear the area where the transcooler is supposed to sit?

Crash712us Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I highly doubt as the trans cooler only offered on PP cars, and adaptive cruise is only available on non-PP cars. But to my knowledge booth options are not offered together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 There may be a different part #, which is not uncommon in model year changes (and the actual part itself is the exact same thing). From the convo I had with a Ford Exec at the Nat'l SHO Convention this summer, there is no current resolution for the issue crash712us (and others with the ACC option) face. The fact is, is that you cannot order a 2013 PP (which has the aux tranny cooler) in conjunction with the ACC option. The obstruction of the cooler lines, as it relates to where the ACC sensor is mounted, is the direct problem. FMC currently has no plans in place to make available BOTH the PP along with the ACC. So it's doubtful the different part # your theorizing will work. But hey, wth, nothing wrong with investigating the possibilities I suppose :noidea: Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 4DRHTRD Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Anybody know if this will work on a Flex? I had some slippage from the tranny after making 4 passes back to back last week. I was thinking this would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpd1151 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Just the parts included with the kit itself. You CAN'T do this retro, if you have the ACC option however. Check with either of our vendors, Unleashed Tuning, or LMS for kit pricing and/or availability. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
