Re: Pulling a travel trailer

210 ECT?? or tranny temp? 210 is fine for ECT.....thats not hot at all. You better pull it in drive.. or you will be replacing that transmission.. Its going to run a little hotter because your working it harder.. its fine... Just don't pull it in overdrive.....ever lol

Yes, I'm talking about engine coolant temperature. It was between the 210 mark and the Red "Hot" zone. It didn't get any hotter than that. The tranny is the 700R4 BTW. I knew I should pull it in drive instead of OD, but I was getting concerned about the climbing temp.
BTW spudz, I just came through your neck of the woods the other day. I was coming from Charleston on 78 on my way back to GA.

You passed my house then cause I live right on 78 lol.. Ya passed a yellow house on right with a **** load of trucks and mustangs in the front yard in branchville?? lol

BTW you might want to make sure your clutch fan is ok... Maybe consider an electric fan??? It shouldn't run hot with a little more RPM...

I think the fan is ok, but I'll check it out to be sure. Thanks.
