Review on ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Derale 13011 Fluid Control Thermostat Kit: Enhance Efficiency & Temperature Control with Silver Solution by Pop Henneghan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Better than running without a thermostat. But.

I have been running this unit in 30-50F degrees for a week now. It keeps the trance between 140F - 160F versus 100F - 110F with no thermostat. So it's an improvement, but I wish it was closer to its 180-degree Fahrenheit temperature rating. Part of the problem with this block is that it delivers a claimed 10% fluid flow through the transmission cooler, regardless of transmission temperature, to prevent air lock and cavitation. I understand it's necessary, but if it were 5% vs 10% I think it would control the temperature better. Too cold to trance is almost as bad as too hot to trance. I would probably buy again unless a better device was made that proved superior to this device.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Will be added later
