If you haven't flushed the cooling system, do so. The transmission cooler is run through the radiator, so if your engine is running hot...your transmission is also running hot causing damage to both. If you are going to haul anything consistantly (once a week or more) you need to install an auxillary tranny cooler for sure. This will cool your tranny and engine because the heat the transmission introduced to the radiator is gone...thus cooling them both. Check to see what temp. thermostat you're running also. Don't remove it completely, but try running a 165 degree thermostat. That will help you on the highway. After you have exhausted all known rememdies, have the radiator boiled (it may be clogged at the bottom and not flowing efficiently) or replace it. You can buy a standard radiator for $130 all day long.
