Overheating 3208 in a 90SP36
No.
With the 250hp in '84, there were some high-ambient- temp/towing/mountain issues with transmission temperatures, BB recognized this and offered an upgrade to an external trans cooler like the '87-'89 had, ... abandoning the in-radiator cooler and adding the new one to the outlet hose from the radiator. Running Allison Transynd (synthetic) or Mobil 1 synthetic will lower transmission temps, it is better at carrying the heat away from the transmission. For the transmissions with internal retarders I consider it a must, ... but that's me. Many people have no problems running with a toad and running normal thransmission temperatures, and the 4.89:1 gears are short enough that the RPMs are kept fairly high. If you end up with low RPMs and torque- converter out of lockup for extended periods, you will see higher temps. The '84-up models have a transmission temperature gauge, makes it easier to watch. - Jeff Miller in Holland, MI --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Gardner Yeaw" wrote: > > > If I read the suggestions correctly, in an FC with the 4.88 gears > and towing something an auxillary trany cooler would almost be a > must. > > Gardner Almost a be. |
