Ok, I need some help figuring out the way things are supposed to be vs. the way things are. I'm hoping Mark Kovalsky will see this and maybe shed some light on the issue.
So, the truck is my 2000 F250 with late '99 build date. Currently, lines go directly from the trans to the tiny factory auxillary cooler and then straight back to the trans. This might explain why my trans temps get crazy high really fast when I'm towing. I'm really needing to get a larger trailer, so I need to take care of this before I tear up the trans.
Next step, I go to fordparts.com so I can view the diagrams and part numbers... only to NOT see any lines for a truck prior to 2/6/00 that go into the radiator.:cursing: Am I just that blind or did it never go into the radiator from the get-go? If that's true, how can I bring my temps down? Can I use the other lines for a post 2/6/00 to route the fluid from trans to radiator to aux. cooler? (I believe that to be the proper routing...) Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
