Our lineup of aftermarket transmission coolers for the Peterbilt 379 can help you achieve cooler temperatures, smoother shifting, and a longer transmission lifespan. Having a cool transmission is critical for any truck that's operating under heavy loads, stop-and-go traffic, or hot climate conditions. All of this means that your transmission is working overtime. An overheated transmission is actually one of the leading causes of costly repairs and downtime you can't afford. Our selection of in-stock tranmission coolers are designed to keep your fluid temps in check, even if the stock system can't.

What Do Semi Truck Transmission Coolers Do?

A transmission cooler removes excess heat out of your transmission fluid before it returns to the transmission. The hot fluid is circulated from the transmission into the cooler typically made with aluminum tubes and fins where air moving across the cooler helps dissipate the heat. The cooled fluid then flows back into the system, maintaining safe, stable temperatures. This is especially important for Peterbilt 379 trucks running Eaton-Fuller transmissions, which can really heat up under high-stress driving conditions. Here are some of the key benefits to replacing a worn-out transmission cooler: - Extended Transmission Life: Lower temps = less wear on seals, clutches, and internal components. - Better Shifting: Cool transmission fluid maintains proper viscosity, reducing gear slippage and improving shift quality. - Improved Hauling Performance: Whether you're towing or climbing grades, your transmission stays cooler and stronger. - Lower Maintenance Costs: Fewer fluid changes, less risk of overheating, and reduced chances of major transmission failure. - Enhanced Fuel Efficiency (Indirect Benefit): A cooler, smoother-running transmission can reduce engine strain over time. There are quite a few different types of replacement transmission coolers on the market:. - Tube and Fin Coolers: Budget-friendly and effective for light to moderate duty. - Plate and Fin Coolers: Improved heat transfer for moderate to heavy-duty use. - Stacked Plate Coolers: Top-tier performance for extreme-duty hauls and high heat conditions. All of these cooler types are designed to perform at the same level of an OEM part. A cooler has to get mounted correctly, otherwise you'll run into problems. That's why we happen to offer transmission cooler mounting kits. - Universal Mounting Kits: Includes brackets, straps, and hardware for a custom fit. - Frame Rail Mounts: Ideal for maximizing airflow and keeping the cooler away from high-heat engine components. - Radiator/Condenser Mounts: Perfect for taking advantage of existing airflow zones at the front of the truck. Proper mounting ensures your cooler performs at its best no rattles, no rubbing, just efficient cooling where you need it most.

Signs it's Time to Replace Your Peterbilt 379's Tranmission Cooler

If you're experiencing any of the following, it's time to upgrade: - Transmission fluid overheating. - Sluggish or slipping shifts. - Loss of pulling power under load. - Burnt-smelling or dark transmission fluid. - High transmission temps on your dash gauge. A brand-new, aftermarket transmission cooler can be a game changer not just for your truck's performance, but for your peace of mind on the road. If you want additional cooling system upgrades, consider replacement CAC components, a new replacement radiator, or temperature-resistant silicone tubes.
