Transmission Cooling Fan for a 2002 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner

Question:

I have a 2002 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner. I am planning to install a transmission cooler because the truck does not have the factory tow package. I am told that the tow package also includes a different radiator fan. If I install this aftermarket transmission cooler, do I also need to replace my fan? Thanks in advance for any help!

Expert Reply:

The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler, part # D13502, will work with your existing fan. This being said, an aftermarket radiator fan would increase airflow, and would not be a bad idea. If you are planning on doing a lot of towing in stop and go traffic, I would strongly recommend upgrading the fan.
