One thing I remember from automatic transmission class is overcooling can be just as dangerous as overheating the fluid in certain situations and one should always run a OTA cooler before the OTO so the radiator can warm the fluid back up. While not practical our instructors shop truck had three temp gauges to show how much of a difference there can be in oil temperatures Pan sensor, fluid Out and fluid In sensors.
Modern light duty trucks (yes, your ram 3500 is light duty) use thermostats to bypass the oil to air coolers until a certain fluid temperature has been met. One does not want to be towing in overdrive, 45 degree outside temperature and be cooling their trans below engine coolant temperature.
