Overheating in overdrive?
Ok, so yesterday I was on my way home from Portland, which is about 3hrs north of me. I was towing my 22ft toy hauler... and had it in OD on the freeway. Suddenly it started getting VERY hot.. So I pulled over and checked everything, radiator was fine, oil, everything. So proceeded home and kept it out of OD.. It did ok but coming up the steep tressel it got warmer than usual.. once the road flattened out it was fine again. Im wondering what the deal is.. I have done this route a lot and never had this happen...normal or not?
truck is 99 powerstroke, 7.3, 6spd, 8"lift on 38's.
I am fairly new to diesel's and any help would be appreciated!! thanks.
