Did you have issues of air in the coolant system? Did you need to add coolant to the radiator itself, or just the overflow bottle?

Probably TOTALLY different, but my truck won't blow heat until you start driving it. The coolant temp will raise and the fans will eventually kick on. But until I actually start driving it, it won't blow even warm air out the heater vents. Mine definitely doesn't cool as well if I'm not driving, but...

Aftermarket tranny cooler?

Back story... I've got a 2008 V6 2WD R51. I've recently picked up a 3,000lb. camper trailer that I'll be towing. My first orders of business are mirror extensions and a 7-pin wiring harness & brake controller. The camper trailer already has a WDH and friction anti-sway bar, but I'd like to event...
