    I want to say the ATF cooler was standard thru 2002, at least on V8 trucks. There was no separate towing package. Then in 2003, the separate towing package became available.

    its just a loop of tubing, not hard to miss or overlook - but i can’t say with certainty that 2000-02 had them.

    There was a towing package but it was just the hitch as I recall.

    At least for 2005, this was the "towing package". It was optional on RC and AC, but standard on DC, and it appears that it was not available at all on the v6 models:

    "V8 Towing Package — includes Class IV towing hitch receiver, 7-pin connector with converter, heavy-duty 130-amp alternator and supplemental transmission oil cooler"

    I replaced my radiator for the first time at 225,000 miles. Yeah pink milkshake is an issue, but not till very high mileage and age. So it's not like it's much of a "weak spot". 100,000 mile replace intervals and it's no problem at all.

    Yep, just a loop. And I couldn't get the new lines hooked up to it without pulling the bumper off...

    Also, LSD is not specifically named on that list of tow package installed equipment for my vehicle but I checked underneath and definitely have it
