is your transmission stock? or has it ever been rebuilt ?
do you have a cooler ? you need to find out.
welcome to df.
our stock transmissions are crap. if you're pulling a full size truck and a heavy dual axle trailer, i'd think twice about it. i know of 3 people that burnt up transmissions towing medium to heavy loads.
if you do, add a simple cooler if you don't have one and leave OD off. the OD is the likely part to burn up.
