How much is too much for trans pump

Ok, so I know we all like to add trans coolers. And since i live in the the frigid north, I would like to add a thermo bypass http://www.transmissioncoolers.us/708-4739P6.html so I'm not pushing cold fluid back into the trans in the winter. I also have an external filter I can add... http://www.amazon.com/Trans-Dapt-1028-Single-Relocation-Bracket/dp/B000CQ20FU/ref=pd_sim_auto_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=128VXVVHHY7KYDQQQ8NP

So this would be a bypass, radiator cooler, add-on cooler, and a filter that the pump needs to push fluid through. Will this add too much load to the pump?

It'd really suck to do all of this to prolong the life of the trans, only to have it destroyed by killing the pump

I don't know if you have ever seen the TV Show, "Ice Truckers," they cover most of their grill allowing less cold air to pass through the radiator gills...your tranny temp ultimately is around the same as your coolant....

Just check out this site for Tru-Cool LPD. These have a built in bypass so you don't need to fool around with anything else. I run a 4589 up here and it gets to -40 Celsius or Fahrenheit (take your pick).

By the way the pump can handle both the cooler and the filter. I used to run both these on a Turbo 350 tranny that was still working ( although a little loose) with 450K miles
