The radiator has a part on the bottom that has atf flow through it to cool. Its seperate from the coolant.
As far as tb coolant bypass in winter. Its fine, its been 20something degrees in oregon and never ever had any idle problems. This is the second winter I have been through with this mod and no issues. Yes it does increase power a small bit. Car doesnt take any longer than usual to warm up. I do experience some random hesitation once in a great while if i just turn on and drive right away.

Yeah, the atf doesnt really have any fins to go through, its just a plastic area on the bottom of the rad. So adding a tranny radiator is used for towing or racing applications where temps run high. Normal driving or hwy use doesnt need this, the stock one is more than good enough.

i thought it helps extend the life of your DD auto tranny. i even know a person who had there auto tranny on a durango replaced and the shop threw on a "free" tranny cooler.

I dont think ur tranny would run much colder with it installed. Unless someone has actually installed a transmission temp guage before and after im gonna say trans temps wont very with or without. It will only help keep ur trans temp down for towing and racing purposes.
You could do that.
