I need to now what I can do to improve the cooling system on my s-10 pickup. I have put a Transmission oil cooler on the front of the radiator. Truck pulls my 20ft trailer fine even up high mountains. I just think I can improve the cooling. Transmission does really good. The temperture run high about 220 to 230 when it needs to be 210.

Need To try and Cool the truck better
Moderator: F9K9
I just traded my ZR5 back in July because I couldn't keep it cool while towing my boat. I wish I had taken a few more steps to get it running cooler before I just traded it off. I really did like the truck.
My next steps were to add the larger capacity radiator. There is a sticky or thread about that somewhere around here. It's pretty common modification, and highly reccomended. Secondly I was going to get a custom tune to enable the tow/haul mode in the PCM. This keeps the TC locked while towing, and I feel would've kept a good deal of the heat OUT of the radiator.
Good luck, and let us know how everything shakes out!
