Default question about something on my build sheet

I got a build sheet from dodge about a month ago, and today I was looking through it and noticed this:
NHBP Auxiliary Transmission Oil Cooler
NMCP Heavy Duty Engine Cooling

is this something that was like an "extra" for durability or is this standard equipment? I was curious because I saw that and went to look for a transmission cooler because they are usually located (at least the aftermarket ones are) on the radiator, but its not there.

auxiliary transmission cooler should be an option, generally provided with tow package. follow your transmission cooler lines into and out of the radiator, and it should go up front, one side or other of AC condenser.

i think the engine cooling is standard. they all came with a single row, 31 x 19 radiator core.

The trans cooler is located between the a/c condenser and the rad.

well sure enough I looked at the build sheet and it says ADJ Heavy Duty Service Group and AHC Trailer Tow Group. That's pretty great because the previous owner of my truck used to tow horse trailers and haul hay in it, in fact there is still a little bit of hay in the bed under the tool box. well thanks for the help dhvaughan and dodge dude94.

I'm not sure but, do you have the tow package on that vehicle? Sounds like they beefed it up for towing?

My truck used to tow cattle trailers. And the rear springs show it.

Be glad yours aren't as sagged as mine.


Just out of curiosity, what Dynomax muffler do you have?

I'm not really sure what exact muffler from Dynomax it has, I know I bought it for around $50 from Advance Auto Parts. When I bought the truck the exhaust was cut off at the cat and it was really loud so I wanted to put a flowmaster series 40 or 10 on it but those were more expensive. I had a shop put the muffler on with a whole exhaust pipe going to back behind the rear tire and the hangers too, It was $125 for that.
