Don't know what else it could be, but trace to be sure. Shouldn't have to go far, most setups I'm aware of still run a flow through the radiator.

That would be your tranny cooler and your oil cooler is much smaller and mounted on the frame underneath the front of the engine. The ac condenser is much bigger and is directly in front of the radiator.

you would be surprised as to how big the cooler is on the SuperDuty trucks....anywho, Bulkpart.com has a great selection of OEM coolers.

Get a Dashhawk to monitor engine/tranny temps,OR,a Edge to run a canned tune and monitor performance.
