    I know some Tacoma's came from the factory with a transmission cooler, question is will this transmit cooler fit a truck that didn't come with one without heavy modification?

    I have seen and read about an add-on. Looks pretty simple. Good luck

    You should be able to add the cooler to your truck pretty easily with all factory parts if you wanted to. Should be a few hoses, the cooler itself, and hardware to mount it.

    I don’t think they changed the actual truck when they removed it, especially because it was in the middle of a model year. So the bolt holes and such should still be there.

    Back in the day, I used to make tranny coolers out of any thing that had tubes and fins. Spliced onto the "cooler" in the radiator.
