Stock Trans cooler is fine .......trans gets hot when truck not geared right and you are in and out of lockup alot ............ and or constantly downshifting / upshifting I tow 7000lb enclosed on 1000 mile trips trans rarely gets over 185.runs 170 most of the time

I think you should see if you can find someone with a compatable trailer, or really weigh yours down and see how it feels, I did something like you and ended up almost killing my truck, I wouldnt recommend it
