Here are the pictures of the tranny cooler lines along with the AC lines. On the one side you can see the 4 lines going in and on the other side you can see the the split. I still think they share a radiator.

They do share a radiator if you don't have a towing package, he he...didn't you say that you didn't? But knowing today tech capabilities...if they do share with the condenser I think it's still a good concept...I'm checking again now, lol! Wow...I just looked at the front of the radiator and there seems to be an electric fan housing inside of the shroud besides the clutch fan. There's no telling what kind of cooling monstrosity we have in our trucks, he he! Now I'm totally confused...that doesn't make sense to me because the two fans would conflict cfm flow with each other. This is killing me...I'm definitely taking mine apart tomorrow!

OK I think I need to clarify. My truck is a '09 CC without the tow package. It has 3 radiators (radiators exchange heat in a radiant fashion - not just the water type) - my turn to be sarcastic.

So, the truck has a radiator that cools water from engine, a radiator that cools the power steering fluid and another radiator that cools the tranny fluid and the AC using the same unit.

I think I like that because, when the AC is on, the electric fans comes on and cools the tranny fluid at the same time. It makes some sense but it is a little different than I am used to.

One thing I wish I had, is an engine oil cooler.

You sure there isn't one. They are not very big sometime power steering coolers gets mixed up for them. We have rack and pinion is that why a power steering cooler. I had a Dakota with trailer towing package had rad, tranny,ps,oil cooler surprised that thing would reach operating temp. Never pulled a trailer with it.
