Follow your cooler lines from the tranny to the front of the truck. See if the lines go up into the side of the radiator or to a cooler. The older setup is the stand alone air-to-oil cooler, the update was changing the radiator to one setup with the built in tranny cooler, water-to-oil cooler.

My '01 F-250 has the radiator cooler in the bottom tank then the external cooler in front of the radiator. I don't have a trans temp gauge, but I'm sure it cools much better than just the external cooler alone.
