found this from Mark Kovalsky in a post in 2016 and he knows!!!
2003 and 2004 had a 31 row trans cooler. 2005-2010 had a 26 row cooler. The smaller cooler has internal changes that make it more efficient. We measured the same cooling with both sizes.
26 Row is fine.

Thanks guys. I ordered the 26 for $108 shipped and should be here in a week.. I’m not going to put it in the original coolers place instead I’m going to put it in front of the ac condenser so it get max air flow... when I install it does it have to go through the radiator or can I just be the transmission cooler itself

I'm not sure what year they started the radiator cooler too but if you have it you should use it.
The 6.0 cooler is much better than the stock one so placement is not a concern. I would recommend putting it in the stock location as air flow/cooling is not an issue. You are already going to have to do some custom lines and routing to use the new cooler. There's no need to add custom mounting to the install also.
Don't forget that the lower mounting tabs are going to have slots instead of holes. I used some fender washers to provide enough surface area for the mounting bolt and a secure mount. Just my .02

ok. What’s required to hook up the hoses?
