As far as the 2 tranny coolers, 93 - 97 got the second one if it had a V8, a tow package, or both. Under heavy load, these need a lot of cooling. Tranny + too much heat = dead tranny.
For such a small SUV, with such little power and torque, I'm surprised Chrysler went through such lengths. Not even the GM full size trucks/SUVs had extra coolers standard. Thankful though.

What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for the same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours." -Sonny's Blues
