10R80 Transmission Cooler 2015-2023, used and ready to install. Fits the 10R80. Ships fast from the USA.
This is a used factory transmission cooler with its hard lines still attached, pulled for 2015-2023 Ford trucks and listed for 10R80 owners. People land on this page because the old cooler is leaking ATF onto the front of the frame, a core got punctured by road debris, a line fitting corroded through, or the ten-speed is running hot and pushing fluid out the vent while towing. A good original-equipment cooler puts the oil-to-air side of the system back to how Ford built it, with the factory mounting tabs and line routing.
The 10R80 heats its fluid every time a clutch applies, every time the converter clutch slips on lockup and every minute it spends pulling a load. That ATF leaves the case, travels forward through the cooler lines, sheds heat through the tube-and-fin core mounted ahead of the radiator, and returns to the transmission. Ford pairs that air cooler with a transmission warmer: GEARS Magazine notes that every 10R80 application has a warmer, that its location and hose routing vary widely, and that most larger-displacement applications add an auxiliary oil-to-air cooler like this one. The warmer brings cold fluid up to temperature quickly; the air cooler keeps it from overheating once the truck is working.
Temperature matters more on this transmission than on older Ford automatics. Ten ratios are managed by solenoid-controlled pressure through a precise valve body, and the TCM keeps adapting clutch fill times as it learns. Fluid that has been cooked loses friction stability and leaves varnish, and both show up as harsh or inconsistent shifts long before anything breaks.
Clean the cooler, the lines and the quick-connect fittings, drive the truck, and look again; a fresh wet trail tells you exactly where the leak is. Do not confuse a coolant drip with ATF, because GEARS Magazine reports 2018-and-later trucks with the warmer mounted on the transmission can leak engine coolant from the warmer after sitting. If the complaint is venting or overheating with no visible leak, check the level first. Sonnax documents that a single extra quart in the Ford ten-speed is enough to make it run hot and blow fluid out the vent, and the level is set through the fill plug with the fluid at roughly 206-215 F. Pull codes from every module while you are at it, since most 10R80 harsh-shift complaints are adaptive, valve body or CDF drum related rather than heat related. Our 10R80 common problems and fixes guide sorts those failure groups out, and the 10R80 F-150 problems guide covers the truck-specific complaints.
The listing covers 2015-2023. Be aware that the 10R80 itself did not arrive until the 2017 F-150, so a 2015 or 2016 truck has the six-speed 6R80 even if it shares a front cooler with later trucks, and the range spans the 2015-2020 and 2021-up F-150 generations. Because this is a used factory cooler, fitment is decided by the mounting brackets, the core size and the line ends, not by the transmission tag. Compare your original cooler and both line fittings with the photos before ordering, or send us your year, engine and VIN and we will check it. Other ten-speed parts are on our 10R80 parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Possibly. The cooler is an external front-mounted part, so it can be shared across trucks with different transmissions, but 2015-2016 F-150s use the 6R80. Match the mounting points, core size and both line ends against your original, or send us the year, engine and VIN and we will confirm it.
It is a used original-equipment cooler with the hard lines attached, as shown in the photos. Inspect it when it arrives and flush it before installation.
The 10R80 uses MERCON ULV. Top up the fluid lost from the cooler and lines, then set the level at the fill plug with the fluid at about 206-215 F. Overfilling by even one quart can make the transmission run hot and vent.
Check what the fluid is first. On many 2018-and-later trucks the warmer mounted on the transmission carries engine coolant, and a coolant leak there is a warmer or hose problem, not a cooler problem. Red ATF at the front of the truck points to the cooler or its lines.
Yes. Any clutch material or metal from a failed unit can sit in the cooler, lines and warmer and wash back into a fresh rebuild. Flush the whole circuit, or replace a cooler that cannot be cleaned, before the new transmission goes in.
