We finally brought it home today. A week and 1/2 ago we drove to Martinsville, VA to purchase our 2006 Ram 2500 CTD. After we left the dealer, we had major problems. It was towed back to the dealer and after their troubleshooting, the transmission ate itself. They really worked with us on getting a better transmission and torque convertor. I even shipped them Amsoil to use. Today I met their delivery driver in Bowling Green, VA. When we test drove it, I noticed the temperature gauge would float over 200 deg. I guess my main question is what is the normal operating temp? We plan on using to pull a travel trailer. And I don't want to ruin the new transmission. Need some ideas on what to look for and possible repairs. Any help would be appreciated.
