I spoke to my technical contact at Derale and as long as the Econo-Cool Combo Engine and Transmission Cooler, # D15230, is mounted underneath the vehicle with the fan facing downward (toward the street) and used in normal conditions, you should not have any problems. Mounting it under the vehicle and using it in extreme conditions, like off-roading through mud, could damage the fan.

As for powered cooler vs one without the fan, the powered cooler does not have to be mounted in a certain location and will also provide a constant amount of air flow no matter what speed you are traveling. For example, if you are towing a trailer up a steep incline, your vehicle will be moving slow. On a cooler without the fan, slow speeds equal little air flow at a time when your vehicle is working it's hardest. The powered fan would have kept constant air flow even at the reduced speed.
