I have a hard time believing it will be 105 degrees at the top of a mountain pass in the west. Looking at the record high of 101 even seems amazing. I bet at the top it will only be 80s or 90s and the pass info on Mr. Internet says it is only 2 miles of steep at the top around 7%. I drive the CO mountain passes, most of them, in the summer that are 7-9% for miles and miles and see no heat problems. My tranny is around 201F and my engine gets up to a whopping 205F. Not high enough to worry...

Correct but after the pass weforge into Eastern WA to Moses Lake area with the Vantage grade before we arrive. Projected temps are 105 for Thursday. Trying to go early to avoid mid afternoon heat. Simply looking for proper way to react IF I encounter overheating. Engine heats to 212 and fan kicks in, tranny temps climb as well.
Thanks to all for input.
