how about just reshaping the whole cross member to still support the weight and stress but not be in the flow path?
Thank you for the ideas. Originally I did have the cooler back there, it did not cool well at all. I drive at 3-4" off the ground so no cool air. For the past 1.5 years the trans cooler has been below the rad (all good). On our 13hr trip south to Charlotte NC pulling our trailer last year I only had to shut off the cruse 3 times on the really big hills. So I'm just trying to give it a bit more cooling.
