It just uses the radiator to cool the fluid. He is talking about a cooler like an oil cooler mounted in front of the radiator. I don't think it needs one for normal DD purposes.

I have 135k on my awd G and the trans is still as good as the day I bought it. I did the first fluid change at 110k and will flush and fill every 40k. I do the transfer case at the same time too.

Every single one made pops at some point. It's a matter of time if it not done already
