I hit a deer in my new/used 2008 F50 5.4 engine. I only had the truck for two weeks so I'm not familiar with it yet. The transmission oil cooler coil which I thought was the a/c coil was damaged and leaking but the truck ran fine. I made it home driving only 30 mphs. I later was told this was in fact my transmission oil cooler. I have to take the truck to the body shop and want to drive it but don't want to damage the tranny. My question is does the oil cooler only kick in when the transmission heats up or does it operate all the time during normal driving and should I have it towed. Thank you
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2008 Ford E-250. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
There is fluid pumping through it all the time. Get the truck towed to the shop and cross your fingers that no transmission damage has occurred already.
