My truck has a manual transmission and that small cooler is for power steering fluid. IDK how the automatic transmissions on gas pickups are cooled, but don't the lines go to the radiator?

The small 2 pass, single tube cooler(that you can't see on my pic) is a power steering cooler. The flat 12x18 ish mini radiator looking thing is the trans cooler. On many vehicles they are plumbed into the radiator. On these trucks they arent.

Bottom one is power steering cooler, top one is the 1 ton trans cooler, then off to the right is the condenser fan for the A/C.
