I've got the 3.8L engine and will be towing a boat approx 5 times/yr. Does anyone know if an extra trans cooler is needed? Dealer told me it now comes stock---not sure whether to believe that or not....

 

How big is the boat?

 

18ft, 2500 lbs.

 

I would think that you would be fine unless you are going long distances or up and down big hills.

 

If I did this right you will have pic of cooler. It is located between the condenser and the radiator and has hoses coming into it on the right side of the radiator. Looking from the front of the van, there are 2 hoses from the tranny leading into the rad area. The are covered with a black material and are separate at the tranny. If you have these you have the factory cooler. My 2001 gc sport has this, so you probably will as well.
