Second trans cooler need?
Can someone tell me if the stock trans cooler is adequate for towing with the 04 1500 (see sig).?I am preparing for a FL to OH journey with a 6000 lb trav trail and want to be sure I'm cool.
Would an aftermarket cooler simply replace the one that came stock or be in addition making two coolers?
Thanks.

You didn't mention if your truck had the towing package. I pull horse trailers quit a bit and always believed a cooler was cheaper than a transmission. I would add another or double the size of the existing one to be safe.

taz,
This truck came with towing package and included the cooler. The impression I got from a local tranny shop (that could sell me nice cooler), was that he has found the Dodge stock coolers to be sufficient and has not been asked to add or replace them yet. He advised to see how it works after the temp guage is in place to monitor it and go from there.
