Vehicle in question is a 2008 Ram SXT 5.7L with factory tow package less the 3.92 Gears.
Our trailer is Approx.. 6000lbs loaded with water gear ext..
Last year when towing out trailer through mountains we had the transmission over heat, and the transmission temp light came on and set a fault code for excessive transmission temp...
I have read about people installing the 2500 cooler on there 1500 and its a direct fit, and I like this option.
A) Can anyone recommend a aftermarket brand direct fit cooler that they have experience with? Dorman/TYC/Spectra ...? The MOPAR is a bit pricey.
B) Also it seems Dodge stopped installing the largest of the coolers in 2006, 2007/08 models only came with the mid size cooler which is the one I have installed from the factory.
C) Is there any issues with transmission fluid being too COLD? I live in Canada and have concern the large cooler may keep the fluid too cold at 0def F during winter months when not towing.
Thanks for your time. Enjoy the holidays!
