A. There are several determining factors when answering this question, unfortunately there’s not one answer that fits all in this case. You first need to determine the age of the vehicle, size of engine, terrain (flat land vs mountainous), climate in which you tow, and size of your load. You can contact the transmission cooler manufacturer or vehicle manufacturer for their recommendations.
