I have a 2003 Safari DP with a CAT 3126E engine with 58,000 miles on it, I am the original owner, I live in Reno, NV at 4,700'. All roads out of here are up. We tow a 5,500 lb vehicle. My rig is 36' long and the total length with tow is 55'. I have towed all over the West in the heat of the summer and never over heated. Both my transmission and engine always run very cool. Using the Allison 6 speed transmission correctly climbing grades is essential to maintaining reasonable running temperatures in hot weather. I wash my radiator, transmission cooler and charge air cooler after each trip. The fallacy about rear radiator diesels over heating is total nonsense !! JMO
