what would you recomend? truck isnt used for racing or pulling, it is our tow rig/dd for me. but with the superchips flashpaq(it was cheap) i get worried a little if i leave it on the preformance setting sometimes. trans randomly does funny shifts.

today i was towing a 5000 lb office trailer for work. granite the putside temps are 90-95 today, and i had it on tow setting. trans temps hovered around 200, engine 200-210. that wasl also with a/c on high too.

i am also thinking about adding another trans cooler. i dont like seeing 200 degrees in the trans.
