Definitley go with a seperate trans cooler. Go to the parts store and ask for an RV trans cooler. I think around 40 bucks. Mount it in front of your radiator and A/C condensor, if you have one, in the center of your grill so that you can get the most air flow. Bypass the radiator and run your cooler lines directly to the cooler. I have found on my Powerstroke that running in overdrive lowers the trans temp. I believe that it is due to not pumping the fluid as fast as in direct. 4-10 gears you will notice an unbelievable difference in towing ability. If you only drive 5000 miles a year go for it. My truck has 3.73 gears and it tows 25,000 no problem, but I have a powerstroke that is 350 horse and 700 lb-fts torque.
