I'd just research aftermarket oil coolers from B&M. They should have a decent one.

I beg to differ slightly.
First off we don't know what he's towing. Secondly we don't know how much it weighs.
For the record I do agree with you that, with bigger trailers, having a 5.9 or Hemi will give you a lot more torque, in the case of the hemi, or a bit more torque with a 5.9. I'm guessing you're towing a couple bikes to the track and some gear, so about 3000-3500 lbs total. In the past I've towed 2 quads weighing 900 + each on a 1000 pound trailer when I still had the 3.55 gears and there was no problem. As a matter of fact, it really didn't slow me down.
So give us some more info stripes. If ya gonna be towing a big trailer home, I'm going to agree you should get the Hemi.
If you're towing as I stated above, keep what you got and mod it a bit with a TB and exhaust system and it'll have the same HP as a stock 5.9 with a tad less torque (and I mean a tad.)
Above all enjoy your D and don't be afraid to use it.
Flame away big engine boys (go ahead Indy, ya know ya cant wait!)

Considering your list of mods, M1, FM TB, B&G flash, JBA, 3.5" ex, CAI with IAT, Ign., I think maybe your D isn't a stock 5.9 DUH!
BTW, I'm sure Indy has read this and he'll follow up with a tutorial on why the 5.9 is better than a 4.7 and how much more power he has and? yawn! I hope he posts it soon as I need to fall asleep and his speaches generally do that to me, especially the one about the mighty 5.9 LOL :wall:
Anyway come on down. It'll be great to have you visit the Northeast!

No dictionary required Indy!
No one pissed in my Wheaties.
I appreciate you and Warren taking the lead!
Stripes, you'll have no problem with that trailer at all.

At the speed you drive Joe, a turtle with a Class 4 hitch would do the job LOL
Safety first!
