KOYO Aluminum Radiator

KOYO Aluminum Radiator
Anyone have experience with these? I had a Fluidyne aluminum radiator for my old car, but it cost me almost 3x more than this.

I wonder if this has an internal trans cooler, (don't know if the radiator in the picture is for our truck), or would we need to buy an additional auxillary cooler, (could be why it's cheap).
Benefits:
Better cooling capacity/heat dissipation - I don't think it makes much of a difference unless you're supercharged and racing or going on long trips... But, knowing how our auto trans acts up with heat, perhaps it'll stay healthier for longer if it cools down better within the aluminum radiator while under load.
Lighter - Probably saves a couple pounds
Anyone have experience with this brand? Or have this radiator installed on their truck?

I think that a lie cuz koyo doesnt make a performance enthusiast model for the radiator. Thats probably an 3rd party replacement just called "koyo". Yes from the pic it has the fittings to plumb in for tranny fluid cooling.

I looked at Koyo's site and you are correct. They do not offer one for our model.

Well, at least we figured out why it's cheap!

I bought mine on flEaBAY from a different seller and the radiator works well. Here's another one... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-97...QQcmdZViewItem
