For those with superchargers.... trans heating problems?

[OrangeCrush]

What are ya'll doing for trans cooling? I bypassed the trans cooling lines going into the aluminum radiator and ran lines to a huge (18K GVWR) double cooler with fan under the truck.

The cooler sits on top of the skid plate (the tube bar, not the skid plate)

The trans runs about 210 all the time even in 102 degree weather.

I'm having problems when I tow. If I'm towing on level ground, it's not really an issue but last week we went to bike week and had to trailer our bikes in an enclosed trailer.

Point is, I was running about 75 going up and down hills and the temps on the trans raised to almost 250. I had to pull over and let it cool down. As long as I didn't keep the mph so high and eased up going up hills, I was fine the rest of the trip.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks,


Mark

Sounds like you already know your solution.

That's ridiculous, there shouldn't be any reason why I can't maintain a 75 mph speed with a trailer on the back.

I need some real answers.... anyone have a suggestion?
