Is there a dash indicator for a tranny over temp condition? (need to read the owner's manual I guess..) Also, anyone have a tranny cooler recommendation?

 

for a great trany cooler i woulld run one from flexalite and get the biggiest you can ... thats what we did with our race car's tow rig and it never gets hot now

 

Yes, there would be a message in the message panel if it gets hot enough. That's one reason why most gearheads hate "idiot lights" since they only warn you when it's hot, or almost hot. Most would rather have a gauge so they can see what's going on before it happens.

Most guys really like the stacked plate style coolers. Go to Summit's site and see what they have available. They should have a tech line if you need to ask some questions too.

 

Same problem................We had the ECU replaced and she runs perfect

 

Interesting that the PCM would cause that..but then again it controls and monitors all sorts of things..so it's not surprising..did they actually replacethe PCM or re-flash it?

 

There is a little book in the dash that on page 4-60 says do not tow at all the first 500 miles. You stated you had 600 so you were close. Then during the first 500 after that don't tow over 50. Have you tried pulling in third? I had my ECM programmed to include positive shifts and better pulling power by hanging on to lower gears longer. Other wise on even gradual inclines it would shift down and hit passing gear just to maintain speed. It never ran hot though.
The boat weighs 1700 the white trailer is 3500 and the lift is 3000.
