Make sure you get one with 3/8" line or bigger piping, you don't want to choke off the fluid flow to your 545RFE.
If you plan to tow 5K you have 4K+ running empty so you need at least a 10k cooler, more is better.
Farther south you live or plan to go the more you need.

One option: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BMM-70274/
Check with your tape measure first. Don't worry about blocking the existing trans cooler, but leave the AC condenser unblocked. Plate type are much better than tube type.
You may want to upgrade your fan clutch with a Hayden aftermarket, moves a lot more air than stock.

Good Luck

I did the B&M 11" by 7?" - Zip stripped it to the inside of the grill sub frame on the driver side. I took off the front bumper cover to get better access. Unbolt the subframe enough to slide it in.

And I cut the trans oil cooler rubber hose that is the return (after it runs through the stock cooler) to the transmission to go to the b&m. That way your utilizing the b&m only when needed. When I bought mine it said there was a valve that opens when it reaches a certain temp. It's held up well.

Get Trans oil cooler specific hose - from Napa or... 3/8"??? times maybe 5'
You'll need some double male hose connectors and hose clamps for the splice side, x4, and the ports on the cooler, x2, = 6 total. Napa also has those- I like the ones that are not worm clamps. The worms clamp style loosened up on me and I was pushing out oil.
You'll need a little more ATF+4.

Too bad I don't have a temp. gauge in my trans pan. or I might be able to tell you if it's worth it :SOMBRERO:
