Expert Reply:
Transmission cooler # D13504 will be a great addition to your 2005 Dodge Ram 1500. When adding a cooler it will work as a supplement to the factory cooler. The flow of the fluid will go from the transmission, to the factory cooler, from the factory cooler to the aftermarket cooler, and from the aftermarket cooler back to the transmission. This is the most efficient path and offers the most cooling. I have linked a video review of this cooler for you and a link to our help article on coolers.
