Transmission Oil Cooler

[RhinoZ24]

So I have a question. My truck (2005 F-150 with the 4.6L V8 ) didn't come with the factory tow package, and thus the auxiliary Trans-oil cooler. Limiting the towing capacity to 5k. Looking at Fordparts.com to see if I could buy the auxiliary one, the part and picture provided looks like the one already in my truck. It's the smaller radiator looking thing in front of the regular radiator. My question is, was it possible to purchase the truck with just the auxiliary Trans-oils cooler and not the tow package (I'm the second owner BTW), or is there another larger oil cooler that replaces the one already in my truck? I'll post a pic of what I'm talking about later when I get off of work.

That looks like what I have but yours appears to be taller and have a few more rows for the oil lines.

Yeah that's what I was thinking.

[djfllmn]

it would be well worth it too...the cooler you keep the trans the longer it will last

That's also what I'm going for, even though I don't and won't be towing a lot, I'd like to make my truck last as long as possible.

If I drive city it's usually around 132 or so, but highway it's usually between 152-154.
