Been contemplating an aftermarket transmission cooler to deal with the heat issues. Just towed it up to the mountains on memorial day weekend and had watch the temp gauge again.

I'd guess you opted not to go with the longer ball mount that clears the tire and allows use of the trailer jack?
Yeah, trans cooler for mountain towing is a must. I'm now in the flatland and tow very short distances now, so I saved my money for something else---like a new trans at 105K (currently at 52K)

I have a guy that does intercooling on euro cars contacting his source for some info on aftermarket trans coolers. hopefully I can solve this problem.

On another note, my Thor Built Aero-lite trailer leaked down the back wall as well. it was coming in from the rear window (emergency exit). I had to caulk the living hell out of it to get it to stop leaking. My wife and I are looking to upgrade our trailer at the end of this year as well so feedback on a decent trailer thats under 5k lbs. empty would be appreciated. currently eyeballing a 2012 aero-lite bullet 23ft. with slide out.
