Default Trans cooler and electric brake controller

Can I just use a cheap trans cooling kit? Like http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FRAM-...spagenameZWDVW
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OIL-C...spagenameZWDVW

Is there any benefit to one style or another?

What about a brake controller? and do we have a factory plug that it will plug into...I thought I was reading about that somewhere. Thanks

I would hope there's a factory plug if you have the tow package. If not someone at Dodge needs to be slapped Come to think of it I should look if I have one...

Cuban,
You have a Raider right.
If you have the V8 then it already has a tranny cooler,and should have come with the brake controller plug. I will try to find the part #.

I do RMUDBUGS, and I have the towing package so I know that I have one but it is the ones that are built into the bottom of the radiator..I have heard they are not as efficient. So I would like to get a external one.

Ok, I think this is it. Part # 56045795AB. They call it a trailer socket ABS harness. It list for $22.30. You may call a Dodge dealer to make sure that is right and it may be cheaper too.

I don't think they make one. You would have to check aftermarket.
