First of all, the 30k gvw cooler is big with respect to the average size cooler people run (Usually the 15k btu ~ 24k gvw). Second, I think you are taking an unnecessary risk running through both the radiator and aftermarket cooler in series. There is a lot of pressure build up passing through the heat exchanger tubes, and the aftermarket one you run can handle the job by itself.
yes, but in winter, I like to have the fluid semi warm. So I run into the cooler first, then to the rad. In summer, I average 180* pulling my car trailer. No where near dangerous levels by any means.

And also, I couldn't fit it in front of my condenser, so I put it between the condenser and radiator. Haven't noticed any problems even with the A/C on.
