So I have a 2015 ram 1500 cc 4x4 big horn edition 3.21 gears. Bought new Came with tow mode. I installed the trailer brake module and had dealer program ecu. I have aftermarket ss. Exhaust with flow master 40, Fuel wheels with Nitto ridge grapplers LT 295/70-18. Bilstein shocks, ready lift sst leveling kit/ A- arms. Airlift 5000 with wireless remote. I towed our Lance 2375 travel trailer back from Kentucky to Massachusetts 986 miles. Trailer weight 5600lb gross max is 7000lb.
My oil temperature hit 250° at one point going up a 9% grade. Transmission ran a little hotter. Just shy of 4K rpms she was screaming.

Is there anything that can be done to help with towing that will make a difference??
• inner cooler
• larger capacity transmission pan...more fluid
• larger rear diff cover...more fluid
• Tuner...bullydog
• Cold air intake
• Go back to stock size tires

We are planning a year long travel across country starting in September.
Thanks In advance
Rich

• inner cooler - larger engine oil and transmission oil coolers
• larger capacity transmission pan...more fluid - Yes
• larger rear diff cover...more fluid - Yes and consider synthetics
• Tuner...bullydog - No. Get a Diablosport programmer, blank ECU and a custom tune.
• Cold air intake - Yes but I'd suggest you combine it with a freer flowing exhaust and the programmer/ECU/custom program items.
• Go back to stock size tires - Maybe. With the other items listed above done you may not need to do that. It will help if it reduces unsprung weight.

Stock sized highway tread tires help. Gears will help the most, but they will cost you dearly with a 4x4 1500
