aFe Bladerunner Auto. Transmission Oil Cooler Kit 10-12 Ram Diesel Trucks L6 6.7L (td)

Application-specific oil cooling

The aFe 46-80005 oil-cooling component is for the specified 2010-2012 Dodge/Ram 2500/3500 6.7L turbo-diesel with automatic transmission application. Brazed all-aluminum stacked-plate supplemental automatic-transmission cooler with black finish and black-anodized AN-8 fittings. The current primary states temperature reduction up to 30 degrees F; this is a conditional manufacturer claim, not guaranteed cooling for every vehicle or load. No own-part row count is supplied, so the GM 25-row count is not borrowed.

Key Features

• Brazed all-aluminum stacked-plate supplemental automatic-transmission cooler with black finish and black-anodized AN-8 fittings.

One transmission cooler; two 1/2-inch oil-cooler hoses, each three feet long; three AN-8 90-degree push-lock fittings; one upper mounting bracket; one 3/4-16 O-ring-to-AN-8 adapter; one Dodge transmission-line adapter; four M6 x 20 button-head screws; two M6 x 25 socket-head screws; six M6 nuts; and four M6 washers. The exact kit uses push-lock hose connections without clamps. No radiator, intercooler, filter, thermostat or new transmission is included.

Install two AN-8 elbows at the new cooler with outlets facing outward. Lightly oil hose ends and press fully to the fitting bases; the exact manual says no clamps required. At the original passenger-side cooler, install the supplied 3/4-16 O-ring adapter without overtightening or crushing its O-ring, then the third elbow facing passenger-side/outward. Retain the supplied driver-side line adapter using the original spring clip.

Capture ATF released from opened lines. Verify all push-lock connections are fully seated and retained, run the vehicle and inspect for leaks, reinstall grille, test-drive and use the correct factory procedure to check/top off the actual transmission fluid. Recheck connections after 50-100 miles. No universal added-fluid volume or coolant refill is specified.

The exact manual provides no numerical mounting, fitting or hose-clamp torque. Socket and wrench sizes in its tools list are not tightening values. Use the actual factory/supplied-hardware procedures; do not borrow pan, intercooler-pipe or radiator values.

Remove grille and release the upper factory transmission-cooler line from its loop retainer, passenger-side cooler connection and driver-side connection behind the headlamp. Remove that line while catching fluid. The original cooler remains in the circuit; this supplemental cooler mounts in the lower bumper airflow opening.

Four button-head screws and four nuts secure the bracket to the cooler. Two M6 x 25 socket screws, remaining two nuts and all four washers mount it at the bumper opening, with one washer on each side of the mounting surface per screw.

Cool the vehicle, park level and set the brake. Remove grille and release/remove the upper transmission-cooler line at its loop retainer and both retained end connections, catching fluid. Fit bracket with four supplied M6 button-head screws/nuts, install two outward-facing AN-8 elbows and lightly oil/fully seat the two hoses without clamps. Mount cooler in the lower bumper airflow opening using two M6 x 25 socket screws, four washers and two remaining nuts, placing a washer on both sides of each mounting point. Route hoses along the separate passenger and driver paths. Replace original passenger-side cooler fitting with the supplied 3/4-16 O-ring adapter without crushing the seal, then fit third outward-facing elbow. Trim/seat passenger hose; fit driver-side adapter using original spring clip and trim/seat driver hose. No clamps are required by this exact push-lock design. Inspect running for leaks, restore grille, test-drive and check/top off ATF by exact factory procedure. Recheck connections after 50-100 miles.
