You are absolutely 100% correct. I did have the tranny overheat going up a steep grade while towing. So bad, it actually stalled the engine but I was lucky enough to be able to just pull off the road. In about a 1/2 an hour things cooled down enough to where I could get it to crank and start up. We were about 65 miles away from home and it being a Sunday, nowhere could I get it looked at so I drove it all the way home going about 25mph with the flashers banging away.
At the time, I didn't have a tranny cooler in but now I do. What really irks the hell out of me is the Ford owners manual. If you read the specs. a 2x2 F-150 w/302 is rated to haul a 6,000 trailer load. If that isn't a joke, I don't know what is. These semi's will blow you off the road on the Interstates and you won't be doing very good in the mountains either. I wish they would be a little more truthful when they put it in print.
