Tow package question
I have a 2000 V10 4X4 and I am trying to determine if the tranny has an external cooler or not. I have the original window sticker and it says the truck has a towing package. I am not a mechanic, so please pardon my ignorance. I crawled under the truck today and I can see two lines running from the transmissions to what appears to be the bottom of the radiator to me. I do not see separate cooling fins for a transmission cooler. So my question is where are those lines going? Is it possible that what I am seeing and thinking is the bottom of the radiator is really not the radiator? I could take the plastic housing from around the fan, but thought I would ask others first. Thanks.

My f250 has a non-intregrated trans cooler. The trans cooler is behind the front bumper I believe, and is rather small. The trans can be cooled by a ATF to coolant tank in the rad, but the towing package should have a seperate cooler.
