First off all, overheating tranny is not good and will shorten its life though problems from it can occur now or at a later date. While I am not a big believe in tranny flushing, I would get your flushed since you cooked it to get old burnt fluid out. It take Dexron 3. Next you really need a a aux tranny cooler if you tow and last you should tow in drive but if you have a tall axle ratio it will ride converter stall even in drive at 55MPH and lead to overheating at times. Look in glove box for axle code and see if it is a GU4, GU5, GU6, GT4 or GT5. The first two would suck at towing and the thrid would not do well either but better than first too and if it is a GT4 or better you are not to bad off in axle ratio unless you are running over sized tires and then you need a GT5 minimum (4.10) for any kinda of towing power at all. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com good info to check on, thanks > >> i was trying to find out the ATF capacity for a 93 chevy blaer. i was > >> towing a heavy trailer and expelled quite alot of the stuff. i know [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > ----------------- > TheSnoMan.com |
