I have been running a PWR unit in the ute ... I got the Heavy Duty unit ... slightly larger than the V8 version from memory.
And I can tell you it has made a hell of a difference (especially when towing and carrying heavy load) .. also when punishing the ute when doing courier work in Sydney ... i am finding that slippage is less ... heat is much less through the floor/tunnel ... and fluid is lasting a lot longer (not breaking down as quick). Shifting is more positive.
Cold morning it takes the same time to warm up as it did previously ... still shifted fine thie morning at -5 deg ... and the ute was parked outside all night as well ... I had 3mm of ice ALL over the ute too.
It's a cheap mod that extends the life of your auto ... it's well worth the money getting one.
Engine temps are running the same as they did prior to getting one ... it does sit over a section of the radiator ... but that hasn't really made a difference.
For all auto owners ... it is a worthy mod for transmission longevity.
I run the PWR kit ... I rang Ford and they told me they don't have an oil cooler for the AU as there was no need for one ... I just laughed at the parts guy.
