You want to make sure your ratio of anti-freeze to water is proper. If not, the engine will run hotter than normal. Too weak or too strong a formula will mess it up.
I recall E-series ambulance conversions use a high capacity radiator/transmission cooler combo not used in any other application including motor homes. It might be a band-aid remedy, but if you don't get resolution via all the other suggestions, I would try one of them. Unfortunately I don't know where you can buy one, but I bet CarringB knows. Hopefully he will chime in. He knows about all this stuff.
I also favor the idea of adding a big external transmission cooler.
