Need some towing advice
I have a 2008 ram 2500 6.7 Laramie 4x4 with 92k miles. Edge attitude programmer and airlift 5000 bags on the rear. I pull a 20 foot enclosed 5 days a week easy. I just bought a 40 foot 5th wheel weighing 14k dry. Very early the tyranny jumped to 250 degrees and I feel I have very little power. The tranny reached 265 and this is in Colorado at night, 40 degrees....am I doing something wrong or are the edge settings off? I know I need more upgrades what would everyone recommend.

Are you using the Edge pulling the large trailer? if so what power level? :c: |
I tow 10k-18k reguarly,, 5th wheel, gooseneck
have o7.5 3500 with deletes intake exhaust EFI Advise get larger pan for transmission and get a programmed TCM ,, I got mine from Matt out of Amarillo Dragonian I never see over 180 trans temp EGT stay below 14 .. towing 16k across CO, WY,UT in cross wind. Change fluid in tranny every 30K :tttt: The best change has been the programmed TCM Looking at a new torque converter ,, not that mine has a problem just because I tow over 10K Trying to prevent problems before thay happen.. |
Check the lines to your trans cooler make sure one is not squashed or damaged. If you don't have one definitely install one!!!!!!!!!. I would also get a complete trans service done It also wouldn't hurt to turn the power down . I pull around 18,000 lb with a tandem tandem goose neck and mine never gets even close to your temps normally around 180.
Fully deleted 3500 with 4" turbo back and a smarty tuner set on 1 or economy mode. :bike: |
