Trans oil coolers are now eliminated on all new Express and Savana vans

dodge runs a trans heat exchanger near the trans to heat the fluid during warm up. They also have models that run coolant heaters to the rear diff to heat it up....believe it. Its all about efficiency and mpg ratings

Which models have the rear diff heater? I haven’t serviced a lot of Dodge trucks or cargo vans but I’ve only seen that some of the rear diffs are equipped with a cover that have heat sinks.

I wonder if they sag on a hot day

Give it time - when those control arms start shattering at highway speeds for no apparent reason and the lawsuits start getting filed, they’ll go back to steel or aluminum.
