I have had trucks that have run cooler tranny temps when the overall fluid capacity was increased.
That would be a good thing, but clearances are pretty tight under there.

If Chrysler was smart they would troll these forums, or maybe they do and just dont give a rats.

Yes that'd certainly help. Thanks for the info. Apparently a quick and easy cooler will do the trick though. Such an easy fix to install the cooler. It makes little sense that Chrysler won't do it.

For those that tow at the limits of the rated capability, maybe a deeper pan and extra cooler would be the combination to go with. I have seen this done with P/Us and yeilded excellent results.

Typically a deep pan will only add 1 to 2 inches - Not a bad sacrifice for extra fluid.
