Transmission cooler

[Bearwhiz]

Have any of you installed a transmission cooler on your Ram for pulling your travel trailer? Is it recommended?

I think all the 5.7L hemi engines come with a transmission cooler... I have lines running back to the tranny but it's hard to see how big the cooler actually is. When I looked into it before purchasing, I think the 1500 didn't really have a "tow package" that was needed to get the cooler - it was already included. We are going to be doing some towing during July so I am interested to know if people are installing BIGGER coolers.

In my experience towing travel trailers (3500 miles towing on the 2019 and 12000 miles towing with a 2015) the transmission is very well cooled from the factory. The transmission temperatures just don’t rise much, even on long grades.

Engine oil temperature is a different story. It’s definitely higher when towing and will climb further on long grades.

Pulling my 7.5k camper in the rolling hills of the ozarks my trans never got over 200. As much shifting as i was doing going up and down and around s curves. I was pretty impressed.
