What side of the rad is it on?
Follow your trans lines they should come out of the trans and go to the top of the drivers side rad and then out the bottom and to the external trans cooler (if you have one) on the passenger side front bottom of the rad. If you don't they will go from the bottom of the rad back to the trans.
The SD cooler and the B&M will both do the job. How much do you want to spend? The SD cooler is a nice big cooler that is working well for me.

That is your power steering cooler. As stated above follow the lines and confirm but it sounds to me like you don't have an external trans cooler. Your 04 may be slightly different than my 03 but from what I have read the only difference is the factory external coolers on the 04-08's are bigger otherwise they flow the same.

ok I'm posting these pics to make sure that the cooler I have is in fact the power steering cooler, and not a trans cooler.
lines going into the radiator, note the mess from the recent trans fluid flush, (location alone says no cooler, but just want to make sure)
the cooler in question (3-4" tall)
where it's mounted
