| Quite the F150 pull! A 90's afternoon and down the freeway at water temps only kicking on 1 fan a couple times (204). Though most of the time the AC was on so the high temp fan pretty much stayed running. On the last stretch up the mountain I stopped a few times to let the tranny cool. Got some bad slip out of it on this trip! I think these slow 4x4 low climbs like this the tranny cooler could use an fan of its own! But now I think a long term fix is simply a different truck! |
