As if it is on the way out it will heat the trans oil up which in turn will heat your water in the radiator up.Don't know how many guys i've talked to that complain their truck heats up at the beach. Just about all the time its because they have left it in drive and labour the trans
IMHO you should just do away with the trans oil flowing through the rad and run it soley through an external cooler. Esp if you drive in sand or load the trans up.That how i have my safari set up and have never had heating probs with either the motor or trans
Yea I've decided I'm going to do away with the auto radiator with internal trans cooler and get a manual radiator (if I can bloody find one!) or an aftermarket one without the trans cooler in it, and run an external trans cooler.
As far as I know the trans is fine. Any easy way to check/test?
When you say "because they have left it in drive and labour the trans" what do you mean?
Went for a quick road drive yesterday and man the fan ROARED! I couldn't believe how loud it was, and the truck ran SO much cooler! Barely got up to 80'c! So I'm hopeful today on the beach it'll run a lot cooler than last time and hopefully not get anywhere near close to 100'c like last time - fingers crossed.
