What pisses me off more than anything is I've spent a couple hours this week looking up NHTSA and other reports just because of that. Of course, it was at work, so it's not like it was getting in the way of anything important. You are getting closer to redeeming yourself for your obsessive anger at DRLs, but not yet...

What was your trans temp doing? If the trans gets hot, that will raise your engine temp. PhilD had to install another trans cooler, but since you're stock you shouldn't have that problem.

Just make sure to check that temp before you take the truck in if you can. It'll be good info for the tech and may save him a step or two.

Do the 3's have a trans gauge?

I did hear several people talking about adding an additional trans cooler. Will this help? Of course this is on the H2s.

No gage, but trans temp can be read via a Tech 2. I really doubt any overheating is due to the trans fluid. Could be wrong, but I doubt it. You already have a small cooler. In fact, I believe it is the trans cooler lines that get in the way of the oil filter removal.

Thanks F5, I'll take the 3 in to the dealer and have them do the vag thing...

Don't you have to go to an FJ dealership for that kind of service?

You guys still discussing this subject? If so, just don't look at NHTSA, look at European and Canadian Data, that is where the idea first took fruit. They were the ones who pushed it. NHTSA has looked, but made no decision on requirements; yet.
Problem I found with that discussion is not whether or not DRLs are worth it, it was the idea that $3.00 in fuel per year was a logical reason to have them disabled on a Hummer.

Ah, but now we've found that DRLs are contributing to global warming! This must stop! I'm surprised the uber-liberal EU hasn't caught on to this and stopped their use altogether.

I'm sure DRLs are also the cause of deforestation in the rain forests of the Amazon, genocide in Uganda, and the fall of the Roman Empite. Just haven't found any studies to back those up: yet.

Next time I see Al Gore at the handgun range, I will mention DRLs and see if he goes ape sh*t

Not a fan of DRLs, but I do see the value in selectable/switchable DRLs for certain driving conditions. I agee with above regarding the discussion about DRLs and saving $3.00 in fuel/year, not worth discussing.
