Should I also take into consideration of where the Trans cooler will go or are the frame mounted coolers worth anything?

Thanks to all who post on this site and have answered a lot of my questions. This build is my first AD truck from the ground up...It will probably be my last, just sayin! It is fun to learning from all you experts out there!

Thanks for any reply's!
Another reason I swapped radiators from OE, I needed a trans cooler.

I just posted a thread about this for my friend's build, he had a totally passive trans cooler and his transmission was running super hot - the most recommended setup was "trans cooler in radiator THEN aux cooler"
