transmission cooler

i want to install a bigger tranny cooler, but i am not sure on how to go about this. i found a little cooler right behind my front liscense plate, and i think this is the cooler, but it looks pretty sad, but i also heard that this cooler may be the power steering cooler, so does anyone know which this is? i have an 02 f-350, fully loaded, so anyone out there put in a bigger cooler, or is the stock one fine? some install tips would be great. i had a cooler put in on my old chev gasser, and they just put it on the front of the rad, is that the same spot i should put the new one?
thanks for any help you guys want to give!!

that small cooler you see in the "power steering cooler". you have a cooler in the transmission and an outboard cooler mounted between the ac condenser and the radiator on the passenger side(you have to get under the truck and look at it kinda sideways to see it). it is alwasy a good idea to put in an aux cooler, especially if you tow with it. i put an additional 24000# gvw cooler in line with the other two, i put after the factory outboard cooler. i mounted in the space between the factory fog lights just in front of the powersteering cooler(that was a pain in the butt) most people just mount them in front of the radiator behind the grill,which is pretty easy.
