Does the 97 Jeep grand Cherokee need a transmission cooler for towing?
Yes, a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee, especially when towing, strongly benefits from an auxiliary transmission cooler. The stock cooling system is often insufficient for the added stress of towing, leading to overheating and potential transmission damage. The added load and friction of towing significantly increase transmission fluid temperature. An auxiliary transmission cooler helps dissipate this heat, extending the life of the transmission.
