You actually have two transmission coolers on your truck...one is inside the the bottom of the radiator and uses engine coolant for cooling; the other is the one in front of the radiator (this is the one you can see) that uses air for cooling. Most of the transmission fluid cooling is done by the cooler in the bottom of the radiator; the one that uses air is an auxiliary cooler.

Beginning with the '03 models, only the trucks with factory towing package got the auxiliary air cooler...for all others the only transmission cooling is done by the cooler inside the radiator.
