Expert Reply:

The best transmission cooler for your 2012 Chevy Silverado is going to be the largest one that fits.

A unit with a fan will give your truck optimum cooling power, but you do need to measure to ensure that you have enough room for this type of cooler to fit because a unit with a fan will take up more room.

For example, the Derale 16-Pass Electra-Cool Remote Transmission Cooler # D15900 measures 15-3/4" wide x 11-1/2 " tall x 5" deep so you would need to find that amount of space under the hood of your Silverado in order to mount it. I have added a link to the installation instructions for you to take a look at as well as a link to our entire selection of coolers with a fan.
