NHBP - Auxiliary Transmission Oil Cooler
NMC - Heavy Duty Engine Cooling

Trailer Towing Prep Group --- Class IV hitch receiver, heavy-duty flasher, and 7-lead wiring connector

I guess you could get a radiator from a Cummins or a Ram with the towing package.

a transmission capable of towing.... TCOT
or rear end gear suitable for towing.... REGSFT
or heavy springs that don't sag.... STDS
or plenum that doesn't leak .... PTDL
