Default Re: Transmission Running Hot

Thanks guys.
Adding a larger radiator that holds 2-3 extra gallons along with adding a couple additional rows of cooling fins solved my run hot issue with the motor/supercharger. Even though the trans got hot the engine coolant remained at or below 210 which is normal for the H2.

So I was just hoping that by adding a larger pan to the trans that the same would hold true for that system.

I'll continue looking at options.

Just running around town there's never any problem with the trans getting hot but it seams that when its under any prolonged stress/load and the temp continues to climb. I would expect the temps to climb if I was towing anything but I wasn't.

The trans was just serviced in April. I'm guessing they pulled the pan changed the filter and re-filled it with oil. I'll check to make sure they actually filled it.

As for the tow/haul button, good question. I don't know I've never used it, it is there. The trans was not hunting or shifting as I was going up the grade. 2000rpm's 60-70-mph I wouldn't think that would be too much for the truck.

On the my trip to Big Bear 8200 feet up and doing 20-mph up windy roads I kind of expected to see the trans temp raise just not as high as they did.

What concerned me most was on the way home from Ca there are two 5000-ft passes spanning 25 miles 16 miles on one and 9 miles of climb on the second or may it's reversed either way near the top of the second pass the trans got to the point where I needed to pull over. Outside air temps were 80-85 not what I would consider a problem.

I'm rambling... Thanks again for the suggestions.

I see an F250-F350 in my future (possibly)
