  1. I made a new topic earlier this week on this but since your a tranny guy... I have an 07 Escalade with 73k miles on it. No rims on it, just your run of the mill 18", 31.6 inch tires. I just had a new filter put in for the transmission + the dex 6 that came out from trans pan with the service. It was about 85F today and I was doing some city driving by myself, no load.trailer, my transmission hit 175F-185F. From what I understand from reading is that 200F is dangerzone. Is it too hot at 175-185? I'll be pulling my 5k lbs boat this summer and I dont want to ruin my transmission from overheating. I dont think overheating is covered under PT warranty. Could also these high temps be caused by a mechanical fault, like the pressure solenoid going bad? I don't want to have that replaced when its after my PT warranty. A bigger rad is a solution but how much would that end up being, I probably wouldnt do it myself since it looks like a pain to get behind the grill in the escalades. Is there anyway besides a bigger rad and tranmission pan to get cooler temps or am I fine the way it is right now? Thanks, your a great addition to gm trucks forums Oh yeah, i would think another big reason why the 4l60s failed is because the escalade owners were putting 24's and 26 inch rims on it (not my taste). Thats a hell of a lot of work for the tranny when the stock rim was 17"
