I could be wrong, but if IIRC, doesn't MonteC's tranny thread have that in it? Might help anyway.

Page six of the thread linked above has a list of parts (some redundant, to cover multiple years) for a member that regularly towed a 7K pound trailer.... go by that, and you should be covered. I think it comes out to around a grand though.....

the biggest improvement you could make for offroad application is NOT relying on the stock cooler alone.... you want an auxiliary one to keep things cool in the low speeds where the temps will climb.
