transmission cooler

..isn't the little tube in the lower rad tank a heater for cold weather?
..most say your trans fluid temp should be 170 - 190, i'm no expert.

Tube in the lower rad tank is the factory transmission cooler. Auxilary or external coolers are add on options in most cases, although depending on the use of the vehicle might come as standard equipment. Trailer towing or HD use would come to mind.Temp should be in the 170-190 range.
