I guess it could be a bad gauge, but there would be no way to test it with an IR gun because it cools off as soon as I slow down. And it only heats up on the highway, around town the temp its perfect at 195°.

It runs fine, in fact when I pulled the pan it was super clean. No residue on the bottom of the pan and no metal on the magnet. As for the engine I replaced all the belts, hoses, and thermostat. And added a HMMWV crossover tube so I could mount the temp gauge probe correctly.

Well I haven't had a chance to drive it on the highway yet to see if this new pan and fluid change has helped. If it still over heats (210°). Then yeah I'll focus on the RAD. I found a few aluminum ones that look promising and I've had VERY good results with them on Hotrod projects. And yes I...

Well I'm not much for math but I checked gear vendors final drive calculator and it says with the TH400 and 4.56 gears the final drive ratio is 3.56. I cross referenced that with a RPM calculator and I got 2773 RPM's at 70MPH. Now I don't know how much torque is needed or expended at that speed...

If it wasn't for dumb luck I'd have no luck at all:lol:. Well I got it installed today, and as it turns out our trucks already have the deep version of the trans pan that includes the filter extension. That being said there are 2 versions of this new (Derale) pan. A short and a deep. If I had...

I just hit 30000 with this truck

I just got the pan tonight, It's 4-3/8" deep which shouldn't hang down any lower then the trans crossmember, skid plate, or the oil pan for that matter. I don't do any real off roading in this truck it spends most of it's life on the highway. And if I do I'll just make sure to clean out the...

Well that didn't work like I meant it to. Here's the (Derale) deep, cooler trans pan I ordered from Summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/der-14202

HA! well that's just not an option for me:twisted:

Thanks guy's, the cooling system seems to be working fine around town, and if I keep it under 70MPH on the highway. I serviced it just before winter, and even added some water wetter to it. I also already installed a large trans cooler. My suspicion is (like Marcus said), that the Gear vendors...

M1028, TH400,with Gear vendors OD, Banks Turbo. I'm having some issues with the truck over heating on the highway. I think I've got it narrowed down to the NON locking torque converter slipping and heating up the RAD. Is there a thicker fluid I could use, that would perhaps give me less...
