Protect your automatic transmission from heat with the Hayden Rapid-Cool Transmission Oil Cooler with Thermal Bypass (MPN 698). This add-on cooler routes automatic transmission fluid through an aluminum core to shed heat before the fluid returns to the transmission, and it fits many vehicles — including the 1994-2003 Dodge Ram 1500 (V8-5.9L), 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500 (V8-5.0L, V8-5.7L) and 1994-1997 Chevrolet K1500 (V6-4.3L, V8-5.0L, V8-5.7L). See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
The thermal bypass regulates fluid flow with temperature, helping the fluid reach operating temperature and then routing it through the core once it warms up.
Finished in black. Country of origin: Republic of Korea. This is a supplemental cooler, not an O.E. replacement unit.
