RE: over heating
Overheating a trans is one of the worst things you can do to it. That's why I definetly recommend a trans temp gauge. I can't beleive these trucks didn't come from the factory with one. The trans temp light comes on at 275. That is already well beyond any temp I am comfortable with. The one time my trans temp light came on (back before I had a gauge to watch the temps), I had to have the trans rebuild about 2 weeks later. Luckily, I had a warrantly at the time.
