Default bigger tranny cooler???

I have a 2003 ram hemi 1500. I want to put a larger tranny cooler in it. I'm having trouble locating one. I need some part numbers for it. I'm assuming it would be a cooler from a 2500 or 3500. Would this work???..... http://www.etrailer.com/Transmission-Coolers/Dodge/Ram+Pickup/2003/D13504.html?vehicleid=2003750648. Also would a ctd cooler work??

Some 03 Hemi's (like mine ) came with a larger tranny cooler from the factory.
Have you checked to make sure yours hasn't already got it?
Here's a pic of mine which shows the larger tranny cooler in front of the main engine rad. It's a 26 row cooler I believe?

To the OP. Look at this thread on the board and item marked 2 in red is the stock size tranny cooler.
As you can see....my heavy duty Tow package cooler is a lot bigger.

You'd actually do better by going to a larger pan (MagHytec or PML) which allows for the use of more fluid - plus they are made of better cooling material and have cooling fins...
