Transmission fluid cooler, you must be driving a standard. bg

Yep, only the auto trans trucks have them. Actually its a fluid-to-fluid heat exchanger not a cooler. The cooling system acts like a heat sink to pull the bulk of the heat out of the fluid because its more efficient than the fluid-to-air coolers.
