My last couple of new trucks have included transmission temp guages. What is considered normal transmission temps, and what is considered to be hot?
I know they put these things on work trucksd to let you know if you are over working your trany when hauling heavy loads, but just how hot is too hot? What is marginal, and what is the best way to cool it down if it does start to climb towards marginal temps?
I suppose this goes hand in hand with the tow/haul mode on these trucks. What exactly does tow/haul mode do?
"Allows you to tow in overdrive," is really a non-specific answer. How? What does it do?
How heavy of a trailer do you need to be towing to justify flipping the trany into tow/haul mode?
I never turn it on for my little couple hundred pound utility trailers, and I always turn it on when towing my boat. Still it would be nice to KNOW what the best thing to do is.
