SNERK......that Dickson is always a dollar short and a day late.

About 10 years ago when I was planning to drive my 95 Plymouth Voyager mini van up to Quebec to buy my Sandpiper 565 sailboat, I had a transmission cooler installed because of the dubious reputation of Chrysler transmissions at that time.
Brother in law offered me use of his Dodge Ram pickup so I took advantage of that.
Seems to me that the RAV4 came with some kind of cooler and I had no problem towing 33 percent above it's rated capacity....well maybe climbing long hills where my speed would drop 20 mph below posted speed.

I would look into a cooler for the Highlander if I upgraded to a heavier boat upwards of 3000 towing weight even though it's rated for 5000 lbs.
Better safe than sorry.

It's not just the weight, it's also the cube. If you are pulling a big
boxy structure, the air resistance will also have an impact on the
amount of stress and heat buildup on the transmission.

When Freud developed the concepts of modern psychoanalysis he had people
like Scott Dickson in mind.

Transmissions run FAR better and last MUCH longer when they run COOL.

wrong, don't listen to it.







It's too bad you totally missed the subject of this conversation

although it doesn't surprise me.



John was not asking about transmission coolers.



He was asking about an aftermarket transmission pan that holds

additional fluid. The concept being that more fluid equates to lower

transmission temperatures.



Tests have not proven this to be true. All the bigger pan with more

fluid does is increase the time to get up to temp slightly and increase

the time to cool back down.



Everyone here, including me, recommended an auxiliary transmission

cooler, especially for towing. Turns out John's truck *has* one that

was factory installed.



Go practice your bass.

**** YOU ASSCRACK. I guess it really bothers you that someone OTHER than your wrinkled ass, knows something.

YOU....also stated earlier in the thread that " after it warms up " your transmission works better. Well, its a Ford for one thing, and two : Trannys run better when COOL. Fords suck anyway, just like you.

****ing idiot.

Right. Ever notice that your torque converter won't lock up on the
highway until the transmission fluid "warms up"? All of them are
designed that way ... GM, Dodge, Ford. Cool doesn't mean cold.

Back to the bin with you. Psychotics aren't worth conversing with.

Too bad that a Transmission Mechanic told me that, but you ....you think that you can just bull**** your way through life. Now..**** OFF, put me in the Ignore bin, like I will with you, ****.

What a ****ing self-righteous asshole-cocksucker you are.

By the way, Mr Know-It-All....My transmission seems to work fine....when FREEZING cold, you dumbass.

By comparison, your Transmission DOESN'T work when too hot.

Clue in yet, DUMBASS?
