See you are smart enough to catch mistakes and pick on those, you know its original intended meaning, despite me butchering the delivery. Oh well mistakes do happen, not afraid to admit it, still doesnt change the fact that the oem rad is a pos, and a possible failure. Sure you dont care as you would have a new truck by then.
Unrelated, have you ever had anything apart? It doesnt take an engineer degree to see bs when you see it. Sure its perfectly fine for street use, but I wouldnt use it as a dedicated tow vehicle without better cooling. I mean after losing 3 diffs you should know better. Wait gm said it was fine, they know best. Funny when they were the ones that kept getting recalls for noisy/bad rear ends out of mexico a few years back.
Why do you think I've stayed away from GM, they make cheap good enough vehicles.
Up to 2014 I'm not impressed by GM. Sure they are using more sturdy trans now a days, but was it because they wanted a better product or was it because the previous generations were plagued with drive train issues? Only they know.
There is always a gem in the pile of shit, uncles non maintained 02ish yukon approaching 300k miles stock still going. No fluid changes, just oil. While many have fallen short of 150k Just a testament to GM's engineering, sure its a time bomb by now.
If on average driving temps are 170/180 stock why not keep them there while towing, the whole cooler would still avg around 150ish street use and up to 180/90 towing as opposed high 200+. Towing on the stock cooler will never be below 200F with a decent load. Are you saying its better operating in the 180/200f+ mark considered hot and that anything below is not in operating range for the unit? While fluids have gotten better specially dex6 still doesnt change the fact that heat will get to it over time, but hey 200k+ is acceptable in my book, so it wouldnt bother to complain there. What do you think things will look like when its opened and gaskets removed? Yeah ikr..... Magic.
Now lets back track why do you oppose to a better cooling solution which is the original question posed by op.
