We have a new 2,400lb Travel Trailer. Never towed much with our TB before.
In Prep for trailer I replaced the coolant, thermostat and coolant sensor. I also added a Hayden transcooler and did a trans service (Filter and fluid). All completed within the past 3 months. I also put in a new fan clutch within the past year.
The temp pegs at 210 all the time, and even while we were towing it home last week (In Florida).
HOWEVER: At one point, while in 3rd, the TB downshifted to maintain the 55 cruise. The rpm's went up to about 3,500 maybe a little more.
As soon as that happened, my temp went up about 15 degrees. When it did this, it had plenty of pull and got right back up to speed. It took about 5 minutes and the temp went back to 210.
Its my understanding, that should not happen. What if I was actually climbing a hill. I would certainly be at 3,500 rpm consistently.
