Is this a joke?

I noticed a transmission fluid leak by my radiator and discovered this thing that looks like a last minute addition before Ford shipped it out the door. Is this a stock transmission cooler? It's almost embarrassing

Get a bigger one fast before somebody sees that embarassing thing and tells a dodge driver.

When I first got my truck I was attempting to remove mine and the top Nipple broke off. Oh well, it was headed for deep six anyway.

Question:

Of the folks that ordered their trucks new with the TOW PACKAGE was an upgraded trans cooler included? Kind of makes you question the wisdom of the engineers, huh? Hmmmmmm!

that's a truly disgusting piece...
dont worry about the dodge drivers, while our tranny is running a little warm their doors are falling off, windows leaking and seats moving on their own.

That little piece of crap is the one of the reasons why most of our e4od's fail prematurely....heat! What in the world were they thinking. I have mine hanging on the wall in the shop. Every time I get pizzed and need to throw something......
