The aisin transmission in that model has a thermostatically controlled cooler loop. If you bypass the radiator, which can help warm the transmission, it won't warm up as quickly but certainly will not be overcooled due to the handy thermostat. I hope he can source a good deal on a replacement trans. We are very happy with our 06 - they are good, honest trucks.

It needs other work too, I'm pretty sure he will be dumping it.
