This is frustrating..I used to have trouble keeping it above 160 degress while cruising! I can't recreate the problem while parked. I have less than 300 miles on this motor and all components are new.

I will starting focusing on the engine as the cause and recheck everything. Just to be sure I will route the tranny lines away from the radiator and run it only thru the cooler and see what happens.

I think I'll replace that lower hose as well. It could be colapsing when the engine is at speed.
