Help! Got 85K miles Ram. Started towing caravan(UK)and got hot gearbox warning. Had bigger cooler fitted but still getting 220f. I have read about the damage overheating can cause. Any suggestions to do next

Have you been using tow/haul mode ?

Yes! I kept the speed to 50mph with the temperature at 95-116c

Last service preformed ? could the sensor be bad ? Might try shooting with a temp gun .
