Even my 97 F150 came with a factory cooler and was plumped thru the rad first, then to the external cooler then to the trans.

This gave me the hottest temp the fluid was at before any coolers and it would never show over 100* until it got to around 175* I think.. Then the gauge would show it's actual temp.
Anyway, don't know what to tell ya, other than it's plumbed the way it is now, so until you get a gauge to tell ya, it's anyone's guess..
