Howdy all. '01 7.3 250 CC 8"lift w/38's. Towing boat at aprox' 10-12K#'s trailer weight depending on equipement loaded. Tranny has oversized pan but flirts with high heat under load (200-220, I pull over to cool down so don't know how hot it would actually get if I pushed her).
I live in high country Arizona & most of my towing has some serious inclines up to 8% with several lower grades that run many miles (20-200miles). My favorite lake run is from where I live in Sedona to Lake Powell about 170 miles one way and funny as it sounds it's uphill both ways - lol.
Anyway I have read about the '06 cooler switch & it appears these can be found for around $150. to $175. for a 30% volume increase. I have also researched add on coolers ranging from $50.-$200.(no fan) to $200.- $500. for fan models. Of these I have been most intrigued with the Tru-Cool non fan model for about $120.
I am interested in hearing from anyone with experience on what the best value solution THAT WILL WORK might be. Need to get this done quick as fishing season is now in full swing. Appreciate the help
