99 Ranger 3.0 4x4 Trans cooler question

[BadRancher]

I am trying to figure out if this model ranger came with a stock auxillary trans cooler aside from the one in the radiator. I bought this truck and there are lines ran to a trans cooler, but its all rigged up. If its not stock then i may remove and buy new lines to route through the radiator and back to radiator.

A trans cooler is a very good thing. Excessive heat takes out a tranny ($2000 ??) in no time at all. If you don't have one, you should get one - if you do have one, you should keep it, just make sure all the lines are hooked up properly.
I think they were usually a stock item with the trailer towing package

No stock towing package

Lots of people add them on to protect their trans - there's no downside as long as all the lines are properly installed so you don't get any leaks.

We'll see. If I can get it right and crap re routed, I may keep it on
