The transmission cooler is a bolt-in. It basically fits in line
with the tranny cooler that is built into the radiator. I think
the only source is OEM. you could try the folks at chryslerpartsdirect.com

The 4.0 GC shouldn't overheat at all when towing, even with stock
equipment. If you've installed a larger radiator and heat is still a
problem, look elsewhere for the problem.

Is the load too heavy? Tires properly inflated? Wrong RPM range?
(when towing, drop a gear to add 10-15% more RPM than normal and stay
out of OD with an automatic transmission.) Is the cooling system well
maintained? Is the water pump internally damaged? Drive belt slipping?
If the fan is electric, is it functioning properly? Turning on at the
proper temp? Is the A/C on, accidentally or purposely? Excessive
vehicle speeds? Thermostat problem?
