Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T700 Transmission Coolers

Will these transmission coolers fit my specific Kenworth T700 model year?

Most aftermarket transmission coolers for the Kenworth T700 are designed to fit models from 2008 to 2019. However, there can be variations based on your specific engine configuration (ISX15, X15, or DD15) and whether you have an automatic or manual transmission. We recommend checking your VIN or calling our technical support team at 1-888-875-7787 with your truck's details to ensure proper fitment before ordering.

What's the difference between aluminum and copper-brass transmission coolers?

Aluminum coolers are lighter weight (typically 15-20 lbs less) and offer excellent heat dissipation with modern tube-and-fin designs. They're more resistant to road salt but can be prone to stress cracks over time. Copper-brass coolers are heavier but extremely durable, often lasting 15+ years. They handle vibration better but are more susceptible to corrosion. For most T700 applications, aluminum coolers provide the best balance of performance and longevity.

Can I install a transmission cooler myself, or do I need a professional?

Installation typically takes 2-4 hours for someone with moderate mechanical experience. You'll need basic hand tools, new transmission fluid, and proper fittings. The main challenges include properly routing the cooler lines to avoid heat sources and moving parts, ensuring all connections are leak-free, and properly bleeding the system. Many drivers successfully complete this job themselves, but if you're uncomfortable working with transmission lines or don't have a safe way to lift the truck, professional installation runs $200-400.

How do I know if I need a larger transmission cooler?

Signs you need an upgraded cooler include transmission temperatures consistently above 200?F during normal driving, frequent overheating warnings when pulling heavy loads, or burnt-smelling transmission fluid. If you regularly haul 70,000+ lbs, drive in mountainous terrain, or operate in extreme heat, upgrading from the standard 2-row to a 3-row or 4-row cooler can drop operating temperatures by 20-40?F and significantly extend transmission life.

What mounting hardware and additional parts will I need?

Most transmission coolers come with basic mounting brackets, but you'll typically need to purchase separately: transmission cooler lines (usually 3/8" or 1/2" diameter), hose clamps or compression fittings, mounting bolts (grade 8 recommended), and 4-6 quarts of transmission fluid for refill. Some installations may also require adapter fittings if switching between different cooler styles. Budget an additional $50-100 for these supplementary parts.
