Re:coolers
Oil cooler is part of the oil filter mount, it's a heat exchanger with engine coolant on one side and oil on the other. Also functions as an oil heater on cold mornings. The pistons are cooled by oil sprayed at the bottom of them, not a cooler as such. Torque converter is cooled by the transmission cooler.

Re:coolers
You probably have the regular ole radiator,
intercooler for the turbo (charge air cooler?),
air conditioner thingy (condensor?),
transmission cooler (if automatic),
for a total of 4 radiator type thingys on the front of the truck.
Haven't heard of a power steering cooler.

My fan shroud is flush with the radiator and I don't see where they could shoe-horn in another cooler back there.

Re:coolers
Noticed my power steering cooler when I did the first oil change. What is scary to me is that the fluid lines are below the left front frame rail. I have the 2wd and the front sits awfully low anyway. Looks like a shallow ditch or big hole could tear the hoses from the cooler 
But, I still love this truck ;D
