P.S.-- I usually do not tow in overdrive, although my experience is that it really doesn't make much difference -- still too hot. With a 4.10 (direct) my calculations come to about 2900 rpm at 65 mph, as opposed to 2400 with the existing 3.42. Will the higher rpm make it run that much cooler? Or is the transmission simply inadequate for the job? I can also use a bigger trans cooler, and bypass the radiator, as it's set up now it still uses the factory radiator cooler in addition to the external. I did run it once with the radiator bypassed, it still over heated, at that time I was over the recommended GVW, not going to do that again.
