I want to put a Transmission Cooler on my truck . It's a 1999 dodge ram 1500 5.2L. Does anyone know where to buy one and isn't too expensive? or have any comments.

I bought one for my 2001 Ram 1500 at Autozone, it was about $50.00.

Funny story, I did actually buy the cooler, but when I got home and went to put it on, I discovered that the truck already had a huge cooler on it from the factory. Thus, I simply returned the one I bought. So to answer your question, I really don't know, I never got that far.

I hate to tell you this, but if you are getting antifreeze out of your trany line, you have bigger isues than needing another trany cooler.

If you take the piece out of a dodge cooler it will leak coolant. I have seen it happen alot. I work at AAMCO and I have installed thousands of these coolers. Its best to just cut the cooler lines after the one way valve - then splice in a new cooler.
