take it back off and throw it into the trash. you dont know the past history of that cooler. i bet its got all kinds of dirt and debris, piece of clutches and what not

never buy a used trans cooler, you cant clean them. when ford sends a new trans to a dealer doing an install a new trans coolers comes with it automatically. but some techs are lazy and dont install them..hints why they are always on ebay for half price

actually I do know the past history of this cooler it was off of a buddies truck....

Check that return valve thingie, its like a check valve that stops the fluid from going to the cooler when the truck is cold. I know its right on the transmission.
