The small rad in front of the main rad at the bottom that has course fins is for your steering. Pretty sure all 3rd gen rams have em

Yep, the small one (bottom) is for the steering and the larger one (top) is for the tranny.

Yeah, all trucks I have seen have them already. Some guys like to upgrade their trans coolers though.
