high temp's
I have a 04 cdt, 220k or so, auto 4x4. recently I noticed if I sit in heavy traffic &/or I climb steep hills, my temp goes way up. yes, my coolant is clean, no, there is no physical boil over. if I turn heater up to high fan & heat it seems to go away. Yes, my clutch fan seems ok, (took it to a shop, just about fan).engine runs fine. I do have a code about the trans pump giving low pressure, and at times, my trans seems to want to go into 2nd gear when pulling out. I was told it was shift solenoid 2 yrs ago. no one wanted to change them only, they all wanted to rebuild trans. it 2nd gear issue only happens sporadically, for the past 2 yrs. I changed t-sat, pressure washed btwn the rad, condenser, I-cooler & trans cooler, lots of bugs. I haven't yet flushed anything out, like any of the coolers etc. don't know what to use.. I was at a trans shop, told him all this, he said I need a trans rebuild.i changed trans fluid recently, & found tons of small metal flakes stuck to magnet, & what looked like 2 pcs of a snap ring maybe, in the pan. I want to know what u guys think. I don't know if trans was ever rebuilt by previous owners. what brand trans cooler does anyone recommend?
I probably should get a new clutch fan. truck is stock, no lift, no tuner no nothing.
