Default Oil cooler location?

i was recently in an accident with severe damage in my 07 hemi quad cab with tow package. i got my truck back and was just going over everything and noticed that my oil cooler (i think?) was removed and not replaced by the body shop.

here is a picture of my truck now and the radiator/cooler that's missing was where the red circle is.

can anyone please confirm that the cooler in this location was an fact an oil cooler as i plan on meeting with them tomorrow for another issue. i believe the ones pictured are: rad, trans, steering, and AC.

where would the lines come from on the engine?

thanks in advance!

Mine has nothing in front of the A/C condenser coils (except a driving light). I see your tranny cooling radiator and the power steering cooler. Pretty sure that's all it's supposed to have.

These trucks didn't come with an engine oil cooler from the factory:
Here's mine:

Looks like there are multiple smaller coils in front of the main radiator. One is the tranny cooler, can the other be the oil cooler? My Ram has the same setup...

well that's why you need to take pictures of before and after the repair... :-/

I'll take a look at mine if it ever stops snowing/raining.

The bottom green box is the power steering cooler, upper green box is transmission cooler, red circle is AC condenser.
