Is this what a Tranny cooler looks like?

Hi guys,
I have a quick (blonde) question about a transmission cooler.

We just brought a 2008 Chevy Tahoe. I believe someone has put a external transmission cooler on it. Would the transmission cooler be the thing that looks like a radiator in front of the other radiator? In this case the front radiator looking thing is like 3/4 the size the back radiator. LOL,, I hope you are hanging with me. So would that be the transmission cooler?

    That might also describe the A/C condensor.

    Follow the lines from it and see if one leads to the transmission and the other to the side of the radiator. If they do it's a transmision cooler. If it looks like someone cut a factory oil line and hooked this in with a couple of regular hose clamps then it is definately an add-on. If it looks like a factory install, it probably is.
