What was it using to cool the trans without the cooler in there? Running through the radiator?

They had another non-stock cooler in front of the radiator.

Happy New Year everyone. Here’s a quick update. Engine rebuilt and installed running great. Power difference is amazing.
Minus 7 in Lee’s summit this morning my brother fired it up

Made the 100 mile run up see Andrew at Baja Broncos
Had to take the Bridge pics.
The truck is running great. Had fun showing Andrew the truck. He hasn't seen it since it was shipped off to Missouri almost 2 years ago. Time flies!
