Although I've been towing for years, and have always had a transmission cooler on every tow vehicle, I can't remember whether the fluid should come from the trans thru the cooler then to the rad and o...

Not really, but really due to buddies work at Chevron. Chem Scientist
specializing in lubrication with their modifiers his main assignment
Sub specialty in friction modifiers just because he wanted to work on it
But really still there...in spite of buddies work...just not as major an issue
from my days when I still had hair... :(
ATF is hygroscopic at elevated temps and now that folks here say it is okay
to run ATF up to IIRC 240*F...H2O will go into solution with ATF above a certain
temp, but not up on that, yet
Again, key is NOT the base ATF, but the additive package. The friction modifiers
one of the biggies with H2O, but not the only one of them.
Think of brake fluid in a closed tube...AKA vapor lock when it reaches temps to
vaporize (in braking boiling point, but for ATF, AKA...vapor pressure)...similar
happens in ATF tubeing/hoses *IF* there is H2O emulsified in the fluid
