2012 5.3L Yukon XL
The Mrs. and I are looking at stepping into the TT realm with our two little ones. We've got a new Yukon XL with the 5.3L package. I'm unsure about the ratio, so i'll have to check the sticker at ho...

So I pulled it home over the weekend without a towing issue. The ambient temp was 55F and on the highway, locked it on 4th gear, it seems the trans temp sweet spot was ~194F. However, after the 3.5hr tow home, driving through town got me to 210F buy the time I got to the house. This was concerning to me. What was also concerning to me was the fact that it was rather cool this weekend. I'm afraid now to see what the trans temp would be when summer temps start to roll around.
I'm still concerned than a stacked plate cooler won't help me out much since my temps are the highest when in town or in stop and go traffic. I can't imagine that the cooler would be very effective without airflow passing through it. Some tell me if I'm wrong about this thought process.
Yeah, and the 7mpg was a bit lower than I was expected..... ;)
