Is This the Tranny Cooler?
Hey Folks -
In front of my radiator, on the passenger side, is a smaller device...looks like a small radiator. It has some numbers on top of it: 703-4524, then F4TH-7A095-FA below that. I tried keying this into a Ford parts website, but came up empty. I think this may be a transmission fluid cooler, but would like the definitive answer from those who know. So, is it a tranny cooler?
The info on the truck is in my sig line below. It has a 4R70W transmission.
Thanks!

It is near the top, passenger side of the radiator. I suppose I could follow the "plumbing" and see where it goes. It looks like it has 2 lines attached to the bottom - which I assume would be in and out fluid lines.
I plan on pulling a small popup camper with the truck and a tranny cooler, while not required for such a small towing application, would be a nice little advantage. This is especially true on a truck with so many miles and still running the original tranny.
Casey - don't the fluid lines also go through the main radiator as well as the tranny cooler. At least, that's what I have picked up from studying this topic on this forum. Although there is some swirl about whether the main radiator should be bypassed and the fluid sent only to the tranny cooler. If it goes to the main radiator, then I may have a little trouble ID-ing the lines.
Thanks,
John

My Dakota temp is 140F without towing, and run about 180-190 while towing. I have a HUGE trans cooler on it.
