Transmission temp too hot

[PCT]

I have the 6 speed. the highest mine ever was, it was 102* out, and i was pulling 3 yards of dirt/mud, not light fluffy duff, in my friends dump trailer going on some back roads on rolling hills. Through there i was sitting about 195. When i was stopped and it was idling it was at 200 if i remeber, but as soon as it was unloaded and drove home instantly dropped to 170, that stayed 165-170 all the way home.

They gave me another 1500 for my rental and I've watched the trans temp for two days.. Never gets above 176. I've called customer service twice since Monday and they're super nice and helpful but today the computers were down she said. Unfortunately they're just messengers and don't really know much but she was going to call the dealer. Though not a single person has seen this issue

I'm going to find the steepest grade I can find, hook my 6500lb boat up and haul a ton of bricks and run it into the ground next. I talked to my attorney and looks like I'm getting the lemon law ball rolling

Once you have taken it to them 3 times and they do not do anything send in the Lemon Law paperwork. I am in the process still. They did not want to do much until they got the lemon law paper work delivered to them. Once they got that they we much more responsive to me. Also if they every give you the line "well if it happens again we will compensate you for your troubles" it is a flat out lie. Just push on the paperwork.

It almost sounds like the thermal management heat exchanger is stuck open...

Is the rental a 6 or 8 speed? Either blow it up or I would just get it hot take a pic and have it towed to another dealer, if it comes on a tow truck and it's a new dealer they may look into it harder cause there going to assume it's unsafe to drive...
Just before everyone get neck deep in paper work
