Hi there, Sienna owners. Today, in your 2008 Toyota Sienna, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install Derale's auxiliary transmission cooler. Now, this is what our transmission cooler looks like when it's installed. It comes with the hardware you need to mount it directly to the condenser here at the front. And this way, you're gonna get optimal airflow right through the cooler, your condenser, as well as your radiator. If you're using your vehicle to haul some larger items, it can put extra stress in your transmission, and that stress can cause excessive heat to build up.
Adding an additional transmission cooler like this can help lower your temperatures back down to their normal operating temperature. So when you are hauling anything heavy, you don't have to worry about the transmission potentially damaging itself from overheating itself. And when our cooler's on here, when we're just driving normally, a little bit of additional cooling isn't gonna cause any negative effects. It's just only gonna help keep our fluid at that normal operating temperature. It easily installs in line with your return line for your transmission.
And it comes with all the clamps and hoses you'll need to get it installed. Now, that we've gone over some of the features, why don't you follow along with me here, and we'll show you how to get it hooked up on your Sienna. We'll begin our installation here at the front by determining where we're gonna mount our cooler, and also to determining which is our return line from our existing cooler back to the transmission. The return line from the transmission's going to be this hose located here. If you're curious how you could determine this yourself at home, the easiest way to do it is just to start your vehicle, and these lines are gonna heat up.
This line here is your return and this is the supply, and you can check that by just using a laser thermometer or feeling it with your hand, but they do get quite hot. So to ensure you don't burn yourself, a laser thermometer works great, and just measure the temperature on your two hoses going to your cooler. The hotter one is going to be the supply to it and the colder one's gonna be the return 'cause it's already been cooled down. We checked that, and it's gonna be this one here. Now, we've already done the work for you, but if you wanna verify this yourself or maybe you have multiple vehicles you're debating putting a transmission cooler on, you can get a laser thermometer here at etrailer.com so you can check that yourself.
Next, we're gonna go ahead and remove the pins here at the top so we can pull this top piece back and see how much room we have to work with underneath to get our cooler mounted up, 'cause we want to get good air flow across the cooler. And if we we inchesre to put it right in front of our existing condenser and radiator, that's an ideal location 'cause air can blow right through it and also through those components. And we know we have good air flow through this direction because those other components also require good airflow. Now, we've got all of those removed, this can come back. We don't wanna go crazy with it, but you can see we can peel it back, and we can see down in there now. So we can more easily work, and there's plenty of room in there to get our cooler in. On each corner, when we peel this back, there's gonna be a little bolt here. We can take this out with a 10 millimeter socket. (ratchet cranking) You could also use a wrench. (ratchet cranking continues) And we're gonna go ahead and do this on the other side as well. Now that you've got that removed, we can take our piece here and just pop it off of these clips, work on our way around. It can be a little tricky. You may need your flat bladed screwdriver to work 'em off of there. But once you get 'em popped loose, we can set this aside. Now, we've got plenty of room to work. We can now take our cooler. We're gonna figure out how we're gonna get it mounted there. And also, we're gonna figure out the length that we need our hose to be that comes included with it. I do recommend using the box when you're working with the cooler. It's a good place to set it on so you don't accidentally puncture anything on it. And we're gonna use a little bit of silicone spray on our cooler on each of the ends here. That's just gonna make the hose slip on a little bit easier. We're gonna take our hose now, and we're gonna slide one end on. And we don't need to go crazy all the way down with
