Default 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo transmission fluid

I changed the fluid at 156k and added a pan with drain plug fluid looked good. On this model the transmission fluid is cooled by the condenser. I wanted to put a external cooler on and plumb it to the condenser. Is the condenser a better cooling than going to the radiator? Looking at the hoses going to the condenser and they look like power steering hoses looks like a better set up that going to radiator, not sure if I want to cut them to install cooler.

I believe that's a combination condenser and trans cooler. Yes it works better than a rad cooler, but I think you'll find it goes thru the rad as well because the fluid needs to be warmed as well when it's really cold. SO, in effect you already have an aux cooler.
