My brother Dale is planning to pull a trailer next year, so he did research this year questioning many of the guys. One competitor actually said adding the u-haul raised his cruising RPM by 600! Even if that is an exaggeration, and it was really only 200-400, do you realize the heat that is generating? Now, most of us are from a drag racing background, and when we are putting this ride together, we buy the same tranny cooler that we have always ran in the past, and a trans temp guage? Naw, that's overkill!

I watched Rick Prospero, and helpers from Yost's entry pull the Glide out of his Nova wagon, and play hot potato with the converter, trying to dump fluid out that looked like motor oil. How many times did the Aussies, complain about the tranny being COOKED, and try to blame that on the builders? If you've went through 5 trannys in the two years you've been refining your engine and chassis, and then go through 1 a day on Drag Week, perhaps it's time to address the problem and not the symptom.
