Okay, so I'm heading to Moab in May. I thought I would get anything and everything out of the way that might cause me a problem along the way.
I've replaced about everything replaceable (i.e. thermostat, sending units, belt, hoses etc.) Tonight, I replaced the stock auxillary tranny cooler with an aftermarket (Hayden 404... good for towing up to 5000 lbs) one.
So, I get the stock one removed and install the new Hayden. It is about twice the size of the stock unit. I go for a drive and all is well with the tranny and the new lines I put on. Then I notice that my Engine temp is shooting up FAST! It climbs up to the 230* mark and the aux. fan kicks on and does its thing. The problem is that it is 35* here now, and my aux fan hardly ever kicked on in winter.
Any suggestions as to what I can do to get my engine temp back down to where it was before? Anyone deal with this problem after installing an aftermarket tranny cooler?
Thanks for any advice.
