Default Transmission Cooler on a Manual?

I was wondering if Ford did these stock at all or if the one on my truck is aftermarket. Its mounted on the crossbeam infront of the radiator. The only other thing I could think of would be a transfercase cooler, but I've never even heard of those existing.

You can add it on. But only 4x4 comes with it, and at that not all of them come with it

It's the power steering cooler under the front bumper in the front. Manual transmissions do not require nor have a way to add a cooler to them. Neither does the transfer case.

I'm putting a t/c cooler on my 4x4 and I've seen several manual tranny coolers. Most being on dodges, a few on Chevy and fords.

Most are pto cover coolers, which add extra fluid. But regardless they recoded the temps and they dropped so I'm down to try it out as well.
