Default transmission questions

I have an 01 dodge 1500 5.9 liter with 127,000 miles and my transmission just went out two days ago. But i was goin down the interstate and my transmission oil cooler broke and drained out all my transmission oil. But im just wonderin if anyone knows of anywhere i can get a new one.

i was driving my brothers 97 dodge one day stopped at a stop sign went to take off and it just revved up. So i got out and looked and the tranny fluid was gushing down the street so i pushed it into an empty lot and looked and a line just came off the cooler and drained it all... but if you have to get a new cooler dont get a stock, most trans fail from heat. I had a aftermarket cooler put on thats huge compared to stock, so i'd look into an aftermarket cooler.

Why do you need a new transmission?
