What temps were you seeing when you were towing stock versus now? My truck is totally stock and I've never had problems with the trans overheating.
Mid 180F depending on outside temps. It is not uncommon to get up to 110F here in south Texas. It is also very intermittent too. Sometimes it will go passed 175F and towing the same trailer in the same conditions another day will never even get to 175F which leads me to believe I may have had a valve that was partially stuck every now and then. Now it stays in around 160F when towing.
Interesting. Mine seems to consistently run around 168 towing regardless of outside temperature.
How close do you watch it ? Towing mine always seems to be in the 170's. But for $119 , why not ?. Can it hurt ???????
Sometimes I have the temps up on the EVIC in which case I keep a pretty close eye on it, other times I have the speedo up on the EVIC. I've towed with it 4+ years so I think I have a pretty good handle on how it behaves at this point. We're typically in the 19-20k lb combined range so I'm not working it as hard as a lot of people.
