Back in the early 80's I designed a diff cooler system for heavy haulage trucks. You will require a low pressure, high volume oil pump and an oil cooler with large diameter tubes due to the higher viscosity of gear oil.You would still require the sump mods to increase the oil capacity to compensate for the oil in the cooler system. I would have thought that the extra capacity plus the cooling fins on your current mods would be sufficient to cool your diff without the extra weight/hassles of fitting a cooler.
Also I'm just curious what failures are you having with your diff.
