As the marauder starts to approach 20 years old, she's showing her age. Rubber hoses are decaying, getting a few leaks here and there. I want to go through and do a pretty good service / replacement, especially on cooling related parts.

One thing I'm struggling to find a replacement for is the combo PS / trans cooler as mine is leaking at the thermostat. The part # listed here is YW1Z-3F749-AA. I've had zero luck finding that exact part number. What are folks using for replacements now? I know ones from CVPIs should still be available, but I've no idea of cross-compatibility. Every OEM Ford site I've checked insists basically every cooler is compatible with every panther...though I have my doubts lol.

I'd install an aftermarket trans cooler in series with the factory cooler.

Yes, Keep the factory cooler 'in the loop'.

Definitely planning on it! Problem is, it's leaking, so I need a viable replacement for it to go along with an aftermarket. Hoping there is one from another panther that is cross-compatible?

Be careful you don't block the radiator flow.
