Been trying to take it easy going through the mountains the highest temps on the tranny I've scene on my scanguage is 223* for about 2min while climbing through a pass at 4300 feet. I have been averaging about 170*

Do you have the stock tranny cooler?

Yeah thats bad mpg. Interested to see my mpg on for my first trip. My trailer is taller and I don't have a wind spoiler.... :NC

Yes I do have the stock tranny cooler, it's just that my light bar I have in the lower valence area blocks direct airflow to it. So it's cooled by just the air that goes around the light bar. I'm sure it would cool more efficiently if it wasn't there.
