An auxillary trans cooler on any tow vehicle with an auto trans is a must. Just for piece of mind. Electric brakes, if the pop up has them why not use them? If will save wear and tear on your trucks braking system.
Must be a pretty big popup to have its own brakes? I had one years ago that I towed with an S-15, 2.8 v6 and a 5 speed. Little truck did great with it as long as you did not try to exceed 55mph. Thenit would start running a little hot. That popup did not have any kind of braking equipment on it.

thanks for the input...my dad has been tellin me to get the electric brakes JUST in case cause of the hills/mountains headin down to bristol...can't blame him for tryin to keep me safe! haha
my dad thinks it weighs about 2300 lbs...thats just a guess from memory...could be wrong though! i think the dodge says it can haul 3166....GAWR right?

I knew if I poked around in here long enough I'd find Daddio...How ya doin buddy? I do believe most auto stores carry a tranny cooler that fits most applications, they are relatively cheap but you will have to route some lines and fit it behind your grill, which should be easy enough.
