Use the biggest, best Transmission cooler that will fit and that you can afford. Keeping your fluid cool is a big help for your transmission and torque converter.

Tru Cool makes a good cooler that works well with the E4OD. Easy install too.
Check with the site sponsor for that one www.dieselsite.com
Want something huge. The 5R110 cooler is it. (6.0 cooler) It willtake some work to install, but it can be done.

out of curiosity, is the 5R110 cooler larger than the bricknose A/C condenser?

nope--just waaay more efficent--the later cooler for the 4r100 is good also--put one on the 96 choke--end of cooling and seal puking problem

Way more efficient in what way? I'm all ears
Yup, I had it as a stand-alone cooler for the longest time but a few months ago I plumbed it back in as secondary cooler after the factory one in the bottom of the radiator - don't know if I like that setup now tho, before I could barely feel the return line getting warm but now she's much hotter, I have the feeling the A/C condenser is actually fighting the factory heat exchanger...My A/C doesnt

They already recommended you a cooler, the factory Ford unit from a 6.0 PSD with a 5R110 trans.

Those units are seriously efficient coolers. And it aint hard to find a 6.0 getting parted out!!

So how would you recommend doing this? Did u flush the condenser with anything first? I'd be willing to try it out.

yes, flush it first, I used denaturated alcohol from Lowe's - fill it up, let it sit, blow it dry with compressed air, repeat a few times. The for the fittings I used two passenger-side fittings that I cut the plastic line off, drilled the opening larger, then weld a steel barb-hose fitting so a hose can be attached to it. I think I ended up using the factory 5/16" steel lines, 11/32" hoses, and 3/8" fittings at the A/C condenser, or something like that.
