Here's a thought:: I have an 89 Silverado 1500, long bed extended cab. I have pulled a 30 ft. fifth wheel camper trailer since 1991. I put a huge cooler on my trans. I believe it was for a dump truck and rated for 29000 lbs. My temp may rise to 220 or so but has never overheated even sitting in traffic. The truck now has 224,000 miles on it and the trans(700r4). Also it has 3:08 gears. I can't get in a hurry but I do get there. On open road at 65 mph truck only I get 21.3 mpg, around town 15 and above.Never pulled in OD, if I were you I'd try the biggest cooler I could put behind grill and plumb from radiator to it back to trans. I have original radiator still but yours sounds like it might be too small for the job. Good Luck.
