The lower one should be your power steering cooler.

right BUT I know for sure that the top one is tranny! the bottom one is just a standard cooler, you can pick it up at any parts store. I don't think it has high pressure lines, so it should be easy to change

It's of course a seperate thing from your tranny cooler. The reason you probably thought it was your tranny cooler is you use ATF fluid in your power steering for these trucks. Look up the power steering cooler and see what you find.
