Hi - my 2002 explorer has the factory tow package. I believe it has an external tranny cooler from the factory. Just curious, what are the gear ratios in the diffs?
anyway, i tow an open trailer and a 3100 lbs car with about 8 extra wheels/tires in the truck. Maybe the whole load is like 5000 lbs (trailer, car, stuff).
what is the tow limit with my truck?
When i go up long mountain hills on the highway, I see smoke from the back of my truck. I pull over and see fluid on the under side of the truck.
On flat roads, there is no issue.
The tranny doesn't slip.
I had aamco change the fluid recently. 100k miles on the truck.
Can I add a secondary cooler? where/how? or is there another issue at hand?
thanks!
