I'm looking forward to seeing how the tranny temps do while towing in the southwest heat. Do you have an upgraded cooler?
I think they'll be alright, but I am wondering too. When we went to the airshow in El Centro, I had to pull a pretty big grade for 20 miles. It didn't get above 165*. I have to pull that same grade right when we leave out of here, so we'll see. I do have an upgraded TruCool that I put on when I first got the truck.

Haha. I've been known to pull off some crude and possibly ignorant humour here and there so one night knowing my was in one of those moods I brought a pair of ear muffs in the house. When she started her rant I said hold that thought and put the muffs on.
P.S. Don't do that. It doesn't end well

You don't need the muffs Nick, it's called selective hearing. You don't even have to be old to learn that trick, LOL

For your sake I hope she's not a step-child too! Those "red-headed step childs" have a bad reputation!

I do that all the time. I figured that out the first year. The hard part is to make it SEEM like your listening. I was just trying to get a laugh. Looking back she chuckles but only a little. I laughed. I work with my father in law and do it quite often to him. He can be a little dense though and it took a couple of times for him to get the hint. Once he got it though the reaction was totally worth it Gotta do what you can to keep your sanity while working with the in laws lol
