The Derale Remote Engine Oil Cooler # D15752 that you referenced is pre-set to activate the fan at 180 degrees. It will automatically turn off the fan at 165 degrees.
When looking for a combo cooler, the best cooler for your vehicle is generally the largest cooler that will fit in front of the radiator. The largest combo cooler we carry is the Derale Combination Transmission/Engine Oil Cooler # D13302. This cooler measures 16-13/16 x 12-5/8 x 3/4 inches. The next largest cooler is the Derale Combination Transmission/Engine Oil Cooler Core # D15301, measuring 13-15/16 x 10-1/2 x 3/4 inches.
To install the cooler, you will want to use an installation kit. I recommend the Derale Single-Hose Transmission Cooler Installation Kit # D12006. This kit comes with the hardware, 4 rods and 4 pads, to mount the cooler, as well as 4 feet of hose. Depending on how the lines are ran, you may need additional lengths of hose # D13003.
The # D15301 cooler uses -8 AN fittings to attach the hose lines. For this cooler, you will want to use # D98202 to attach the hoses.
