Is there a oil cooler on a 1997 ford f150 with a standard transmission. Where is it located?

When you start up hills,you'd do well to lock out overdrive. On level or barely upgrade,overdrive is okay. Standard diameter tires are better than oversized diameter tires also. don-ohio (:^)

Root cause is a leaking head gasket or intake gasket.

No,

Add your fluid through the tube that your transmission dip sick come out of. Take out your transmission dipstick(make sure it is not the oil dipstick) put a funnel in the tube and add the trans fluid. Check the fluid when the trans is warm because trans fluid expands with heat and you want to make sure you don't overfill. Add small amounts at a time.

Yes, The trasmission cooler is located inside the radiator tank, unless you have a aux,trans cooler that is between the radiator and the A/C condensor.

Most American vehicles have the trans cooler built into the radiator, On older models, the trans cooler was located at the bottom but in newer vehicles the trans cooler will be found on the left or right side of the radiator. It is actually part of the radiator and cannot be removed.

If the vehicle was equipped with an additional trans cooler you should be able to locate it my tracing one of the transmission lines.

Hope this helps.

in the sump

try changing the tranny filter and fluid and put lucas trans oil in there.

Drain and refill with the proper fluid, and keep truck out of deep water. There is no trans. cooler on these manual trans. vehicles, so there is no chance for contamination.

It dextron/mercon trans. fluid commonly used in automatic transmissions.
