My Tahoe didn't come with a factory trans cooler and the one time we towed a 6,000 pound travel trailer at night on the freeway the trans temp reached 210 degrees. After installing a trans cooler the temp only gets up to 172 degrees. I did not remove the front bumper, I found there was enough room by just removing the front rad cover. A little tight but not bad and easier than removing the front bumper.
