What trans in a 2005 Ford E450? Trans cooler recommended?

What transmission model is in in a 2005 Ford chassis (Monaco Esquire 31PBS)?

Original window sticker states 4 speed automatic transmission with overdrive.

In addition, if any of you can provide me with information related to the trans that would be much appreciated.

I would like to do some research on this trans and find out how best to maintain and service, especially optimum operating temps during hot ambient temps (90-110 F) while towing 3500#.

Does the trans come equipped with a factory trans oil cooler or is just the standard cooler through radiator?

I wonder if a trans temp gauge and aftermarket trans cooler are in my future? I installed both in my F350/460 gas/E40D trans and they worked great.

Thanks
