    There is bad misinformation on the internet and forums about defective radiators causing the transmission fluid and coolant to mix on Nissan Titans. Unfortunately this misinformation continues to be spread by hearsay. 2005-2010 Titans
    WERE NOT a model that had this issue.
    “We have received hundreds of complaints from consumers in regards to transmission failures from defective radiators in 2005-2010 Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan Frontier and Nissan Xterra vehicles “ -NC consumer.org
    “The widespread issue has prompted the North Carolina Consumers Council (NCCC), a consumer protection group, to plead that everyone avoid the 2005-2010 Frontier, Pathfinder, and Xterra at all costs.”- Nissan problems.com.

    This guy is on point. If your armada/titan has low miles or a pretty new radiator

      Do it this way. If it’s still running hot, add the PML deep pan to give you more oil capacity. It will stay much cooler.

    I completely bypass the factory transmission coolers used the Hayden 679 cooler i made 2 brackets and mounted the trans cooler next to the condenser fan

    This video is horrendous. The object is to bypass the trans fluid passage built into the radiator. Titan radiators are known to crack and coolant mixes with trans fluid and creates the Strawberry milkshake of Death and then you grenade the transmission.

    I’ve been looking for the transmission cooler line to do a transmission fluid flush, would You suggest to disconnect the line right there next to the transmission to get rid of the old fluid? Thanks

    • @RV_Chef_Life
      @RV_Chef_Life  Рік тому +1

      Honestly I can’t answer that as I’ve never done a flush, I simply change my fluid. I always use pure synthetic fluid as well.

    Is there a way to just bypass the cooler in the radiator mine is leaking and I don’t want to replace the whole radiator for it

    • @RV_Chef_Life
      @RV_Chef_Life  11 місяців тому

      Absolutely just disconnect the Two transmission lines on your radiator and run some more line to a replacement cooler. Your transmission cooler is sandwiched between your AC condenser on the front and the radiator. My lines are on the passenger side but just follow your lines from your transmission

      Are you sure it’s on the front of the condenser? Your condenser is the skinner of the Two.

    Not good.. This truck is known for the trans cooler of death from inside the rad.. So i don't think that's a good idea on this motel.

      I’m not going to disagree but in my defense my truck has 196k miles on it and I have been pulling a 9k lb rv around the country the past 6 years. Knock on wood my radiator has been just fine.

    • @RV_Chef_Life
      @RV_Chef_Life  2 роки тому

      It does not. If you have the tow package with the original trans cooler this will add an additional cooler. The flaw with the original cooler is it is sandwiched in between the condenser and radiator which makes it much less efficient removing trans fluid heat. I was worried about adding an additional cooler, but this was a game changer. I push our Titan to edge in tow capacity and like I said my temp never got above 1/2 the gauge.
