Driving this afternoon, outside temperature was 101. Within 10 miles of combined hwy/twn, 15 minutes or so, the transmission fluid temperature showed 165 degrees.
I am going to pull a 4000lb trailer across Colorado, Utah and Nevada in about a month. It seems like I should probably add a transmission fluid cooler before going, since it gets that hot in flat Kansas without towing.
I had everything checked over by my mechanic last week and he didn't mention it. Do I need to be concerned? Thoughts and recommendations are appreciated.
