I use this one. Its more than enough but with the thermal bypass it doesn't over cool.
eBay Motors: TRANSMISSION COOLER HD 40,000 GVW TOW TOWING TRU-COOL (item 7999761123 end time Mar-02-09 16:00:00 PST)

That is also the best place to buy one as they seem to have the best price that I have found.

Yep, it's rated for 28K GVW. You are around 14K GVW w/ a 6K load
Be sure to keep the radiator cooler inline with it or it will run too cold in the winter months IMO.

Thanks TJ and Jim, The temp. here usually doesnt get below about 28 to 30 deg.Do you think it might be a problem with getting to cold. Jim

You will probably be fine but at the same time that bypass valve is available by itself. Before I ran the 4739 with bypass I had a larger than stock cooler but not as good as the 4590 and I didn't have an issue here in Michigan.
