Ranger PX Cooler Selection: Confirm the Six-Speed Gearbox First

Before choosing a Ranger PX transmission cooler, confirm the gearbox as well as the engine. The assembly discussed here is for the listed 2.2L and 3.2L diesel applications with the six-speed 6R80 automatic. It is not selected merely because the vehicle is a PX, PXII or PXIII.

The example is a water-cooled transmission heat exchanger referenced to AB39-7A095-BB. A generic “Ranger oil cooler” search can mix engine and transmission parts, so the system identity matters before the price or photograph is compared.

Which Ranger application is being checked?

CheckScope of the linked example
Series and build periodSelected PX, PXII and PXIII utes and cab chassis, 06/2011–04/2022
Engine2.2L P4AT or 3.2L P5AT turbo-diesel
TransmissionSix-speed 6R80 automatic
ReferenceAB39-7A095-BB; confirm against the original and vehicle catalogue
Supplied packageOne cooler with the four O-ring seals shown; hoses and installation hardware are not included

The Ranger PX six-speed transmission-cooler product page retains the full application and actual photographs. Its scope excludes the 2.0L ten-speed automatic and manual gearbox. A shared build year does not remove those exclusions.

Compare the pipe layout and connection block

Actual product photograph. Check the metal-pipe route, connection block and mounting-tab arrangement against the original unit.

A similar metal cooler body is not a complete match. The photograph shows two metal pipes leading to a connection block, together with a defined mounting arrangement. Compare the original from the same direction so a change in viewing angle is not mistaken for a matching pipe route.

Check the whole assembly rather than planning to bend pipes or alter brackets to accommodate an unresolved difference. If a number or connection arrangement disagrees, ask for a VIN-based check and photographs of the exact replacement before ordering.

Four supplied O-rings do not define the full repair

The selected package shows four O-ring seals. Confirm their intended locations with the installer and check what else the vehicle-specific repair requires. The package does not include hoses or installation hardware, and the supplied seals are not a statement that every service item needed for the job is present.

Use the workshop’s repair scope to establish any additional materials and the correct transmission service information. This guide does not provide a universal fluid specification, filling temperature or tightening sequence.

Keep engine, transmission and EGR cooling separate

The word “cooler” alone does not identify a system. An engine-oil cooler, a transmission heat exchanger and an EGR cooler are separate components. A reference and a matching physical assembly should agree with the system the workshop has identified.

The manufacturer’s Ranger catalogue identifies AB39-7A095-BB as a transmission oil cooler. That system description is the relevant starting point for this example; a broad marketplace category or a similar component name should not override it.

What to send before ordering

Send the VIN, build month, engine code, gearbox identity, original cooler reference and clear views of the pipes, connection block and mounting tabs. Mention any engine, gearbox or cooling-system modifications. If the unit is still installed, begin with accessible information and let the workshop obtain further details during its assessment.

A confirmed replacement identity does not by itself diagnose the complaint or establish that changing this part will resolve it. Once the workshop has identified the required repair, use the linked product page to check the assembly and current availability.
