She's a wee bit plugged off.

Truck refused to shift out of 4th on the drive to GP today
The odd time it would hit 5th
Then back to 4th. Sounded horrible. Gutless. (Towing the holiday trailer).
Whitecourt to GP was 278kms, I burnt 110Ls

Tranny temps were sitting better 100 and 110°C.

Every time I stopped
.I'd look at the front rad. And it always looked good. Finally in GP
The air conditioner turned off on its own. Display on the dash said. Turn ac off engine hot.

Engine temp gauge read 112 for most the day.

Got to camp
Pulled the plastic cover off the top of the rads. They were plugged. Seeing we had full hook ups. Ran the hose over and washed it out. It's lookin way better.

Tomorrow going to run in, get the tranny oil/filter changed and coolant changed
And see what happens
Maybe in the market for a new transmission.

If so, would putting an Allison up to a 6.0L be an option? Or best to stick with a 6 spd and replace in kind.
