    Capping the cooler lines may have caused your problem...zero flow is bad.

    Use synthetic fluid on your next build, it is worth at least 10-15 degrees.

    Radiator cooler should be fine except for long cruises in low gear...the major heat source is the converter...at low speed and unlocked, it is really putting the heat into the fluid.

    Yeah, I talked to a guy at Hughes transmissions today and when I mentioned that he said, "OOHHHH, that's not good".
