My experience with a aftermarket electric fan forcing air into the transmission cooler. I had the factory cooler replaced by one that is 2x as large and centered it in the grill. The factory placed them behind and below the bumper. At highway speeds the fan does not change the temp. On hills or driving in hot weather at low speed it keeps the tranny cooler, up to around 30-40 degrees cooler. I have had it that way for around 10- 11 years. The shop that did the work wanted to put the cooler and fan under the truck between the frame rails. That they said is the best location. But, for me 1 elk hunt or bad snow day and I think the cooler and fan would be packed with snow or mud.
