Temp Light Flashing

[Full Monty]

Did it go into limp mode? restricting power and holding gear?

If so I'd suggest it was Trans over heat, if not and it just reduced power a little, more likely to have been engine oil over temperature.

Did you bypass the radiator when you added the bigger cooler? if not i'd recommend it. fit a second(or even piggy back two) behind the rh fog light with a thermo fan. that will give you the most cooling when your towing at low speeds. Have you though abit getting your t/c modded to lower the stall speed to reduce slip and heat build up?

yes I bypassed the radiator so I dont have any water problems . think I might have to think about g/box mod to continue towing the boat.. trans cooler should do the job ??

two of those coolers piggybacked would be my preference with a thermo if you have to tow your boat alot. Personally i hate coolers in the front or radiators and intercoolers. Have you seen the cooler package Goldie has on his car? its tucked up at the back of the car.
