Default Re: Water Wetter

While you guys are right if there are overheating problems, this is not the case for my rig which operates right around 195 degrees F and I am in Texas heat.

(I have tires same as stock etc...)

It does not get any hotter when towing boat or RV.

I am pretty sure that if I did something to lower the temps by 10 degrees that the thermostat would close at that point.

My tranny on the other hand, seems to get hot. Temps climb on my tranny when towing or just when facing high winds. I intend on adding one of those PML tranny pans with extra fluid capacity first to see if that helps.

The first two things I would try if I was having minor engine heat issues (and everything was working), is syn oil and water wetter. Syn oil dropped the temps on my air cooled Harley by 20 degrees.
