It's in the right side tank of the rad. You'll see a hard-line fitting top and bottom. If you want a supplemental cooler, you have to install it in-line after the lower (return) fitting. In other words, let the rad cooler do it's job first, and then the second cooler finishes the job.

Many argue the opposite;
Let aux cooler do bulk of work and keep the extra heat out of the cooling system ,
then let radiator cooler remove residual heat
If aux cooler cools fluid down too much , radiator cooler will return it to correct temp
Plumbed to radiator 1st , fluid may be over cooled and at less than optimum temp

Interesting. The only scenario I can imagine for the trans fluid to be over-cooled when using the aux cooler after the rad cooler, is if you are driving for a while in very cold temperatures. Either way, I'd rather have my trans fluid too cool than too hot.
