I made a long haul up some steep hills this last weekend, and at times, the tranny oil temp reached 215*. Once back on level ground, it would settle back near 205*. I'm a little concerned about reaching 215* so I am going to replace the tranny oil and thought that while I was in there, I would get a deep pan with a plug and some fins for extra cooling.
Can I just buy a deep pan such as
this one or should I consider another source?
Do I need a filter extension, or am I covered since my truck is 4X4?
During my usual "search before post", I noticed the suggestions to clean the fins on the AC condenser and the tranny cooler, so I'll try that too.
Thanks in advance,
Adam
