Busted waiting on a tow

[Russ.Cere]

Figured I'd jump on here while waiting for the tow truck. I was bashing about today at an off road park. Got too excited and knocked my oil cooler loose, broken a hose at the barb. Hopefully part availability isn't atrocious. This is the oil cooler right?

I'm looking for that valve but don't see any markings on it. Anyone have a link to an IPB?

Transmission fluid heater coolant control valve.
I show 23 available at one PDC. May take a few days to get, but shouldn’t be an issue.

Hell I appreciate it man! I was looking in transmission and cooling components and could not find it. You happen to have a good resource for illustrated parts breakdowns?

No, I wish I did. I have access to the factory catalog so I’ve never really looked for one accessible to the public.

My go to is Tasca. Was able to find it pretty easy.

Edit: Sorry wrong link the first time.

I paid 165,000 for my semi 43,000 for my bronco and they seem to always make plastic parts for everything and they don’t last long just to get you out the door that’s what you call ( hooray for me and piss on you ) My dad used to call it

Okay, and if everything was made of metal you could likely double those prices...?

And likely the weight.

Have you ordered from them? Trying to see how they hold against their stated lead times. Just figuring out where I'm ordering from. Dealer says 7 days so I might as well grab it from an online Tasca is basically 1/2 what the dealer quoted.

Yep I've used them for years. They are generally pretty reasonable on lead times.

@Ducati1098 Does this " Transmission fluid heater coolant control valve", just turn on and off coolant flow? Could you just bypass the valve as a trail fix?
