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.

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