2011 Silverado 2500 trans cooler
Has anyone upgraded this or did you find it adequate for cooling when towing? I'm picking up a 2011 6.0 today that has the heavy tow package and HD cooler. My 2006 Yukon XL 2500 will stay as it's very...

I have had the 6.0 in 3 different 2500's, 2007, 2013, and 2015. I tow a 5+ mile long grade often, at least a dozen times a season, on the way to a PA state park that exceeds 9% for the most part pulling 6000 lbs or better. I have only seen transmission temps above 200 pulling that grade a few times, around 205, and that was when ambient was in the low 90's.
Usually temps are between 165 and 185 pulling that grade. I also am not babying the truck when doing so, 50 to 65 mph wound out @ or above 4500 rpm.
Playing race car driver huh?
Blowing that carbon out of the exhaust system.........:E
Are you even aware of the specs on this engine?
SAE horsepower, hp @ rpm 352 @ 5400
SAE torque, lb-ft @ rpm 383 @ 4300
So that means the optimal power band is between 4300 and 5400. So what's the problem?
In all actuality, my comment was to 'Ralph' and not you at all.
having said that, 'Ralph' and I are friends off forum and I was merely poking some fun at a friend.
IOW your comment was not warranted or appreciated.
I'll let it go at that and I would appreciate it if you did the same
