Adding small cooling fan to trans cooler


Recommended Posts

Posted

Is it possible to add a small electric fan to my trans cooler? I was thinking something like a motorcycle or 4wheeler cooling fan since they are small and should fit.

I don’t really want to mess with changing out the stock cooler because of leaks, having to mount it, etc. I don’t really have the time to get into all that.

 

I was thinking that if I could find a small puller fan it should work. Since it can get pretty hot here in TN and with stop and go traffic, towing trailers, towing a boat and all that the temps can climb pretty quick.

 

I know most say that anything under 200 is ok but I’d rather not get it that high and would like to keep them around 190 in the hottest days of summer. I feel that anything additional to help cool is better than nothing.

 

Since I am not savvy with electrical, can somebody help me out with wiring? I can’t just wire something but if I have a diagram/directions I can do it. I just can’t “wing it.” I’d like to have it come on automatically but if I have to use a switch to control it, that would be ok.

Summit Racing has small automotive cooling fans like you are interested in...they also have the thermostat to cycle them on-off.

I'll take a look at them. Any idea of a part number that will fit. When I filtered it down there are still 450 different ones.

 

Any idea what size the stock cooler is? I can't measure it right now and won't be able to for a few hours.
