don't forget there are some people still working these trucks,so keeping oil temps which also translates to lower water temps in check while hauling/towing heavy is vital to engine longevity and and in many cases would be a downgrade to remove oil coolers.

That price seems awful expensive for this flimsy thing!

Yeah, I thought so too, which is why I had a glimmer of hope that it may be the part. Maybe there's just a part number mismatch. I'm going to check at some dealers and see if I can get a look at it.
