transmission
When towing a trailer (within weight limits) up long steep hills with my 1997 F150, the truck seems to delay downshifting, and on at least two occasions I smelled a plastic-type smell. The temperature gaige never went up and the smell disappeared soon after reaching the top of the hill. I just had all of the fluids, air filter, and oil filter replaced. What's happening?

A transmission fluid cooler also couldn't hurt you, I don't think. If you get one, the higher GVW rating the cooler has, the better. I had an Autometer Cobalt Transmission Temperature gauge, and a cooler rated at 30000+ GVW from Becool. These were both on a '93 Lightning I bought in '03 with something like 124176 miles on it. Aside from the solenoid pack going out (don't think that was the fault of the fluid, but not sure), I had no problems out of the E4OD.
