The 96 - 04 Pathys come stock with a transmission cooler; it uses the radiator to cool the fluid. If you check, you should have two small hoses attached to the bottom rear of the radiator, one right beside the lower rad fluid hose and the other on the opposite side.

If you wanted to you could install another transmission cooler, but unless you're towing heavy loads in the mountains I wouldn't worry about it. I've towed a 2000lb boat on high-grade mountain roads with a Pathy that was filled up with camping gear, it never complained.
