Interesting discussion on towing taking place.
Everyone says they monitor the TFT.
Monitor it for what temperature and for how long at that temp.?
Here is a post I made in 2008 to the group. It's a summary of research and discussion on the Techsnoz board.
"Thanks Terry & everyone else.
I've Googled this question time & again with mixed results. Based on
the info. here and other bits & pieces I've picked up, the consensus
seems to be a sustained temp. reading of 225* is OK. One source
indicated 250* for 30 minutes was OK. After 30 minutes transmission
damage is likely. "
still valid do you suppose?
On our most recent trip we drove to the Grand Mesa, then over Monarch Pass (11,000+') and
Kenosha Pass (10,000'). Typical ambient temperature was mid 70's. The highest temp I saw was 221*.
