I got the Napa one in my signature. I towed the 600 gallons of diesel I got last Friday, 300 in a tote in the bed, and 300 in a tote in my 5X10 steel and pressure treated lumber single axle garden trailer. The totes weighed in at 2230lbs each and the trailer is probably 800ish. I was running 65-70mph and it was 100 degrees. I saw 182 degrees for about a minute then it dropped down to 172 the rest of the day. That was a good test of it's cooling capacity. I had a similar amount of weight in cooler temps about a month ago and it was easily 10-15 degrees higher.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

Put a new bypass assy on and it made a 10 deg difference. then I changed the fluid, pan filter and it dropped the temps another 10 deg. So I'm down to 150-170 solo and 170-185 towing. 170 at 70mph tc locked and 185 around town. Ok for now till my TC shudder gets worse. Thanks for all comments and advice! Tim
