Vancouver BC to Canmore AB ... and back again with trailer

Had mechanical issues with my truck and to be honest temperature issues (-34degC) which froze up trans cooler and almost overheated due to bypass valve. Fixed up the truck, went on this trip to retrieve my trailer full of solar evacuated tube thermal hot water collectors. If you want to go solar visit www.coastalsolar.ca or www.latitude51solar.ca for more info.
Total weight of truck/trailer is about 7400kgs this trip. 2001 Ford F250 7.3L powerstroke - with mods incl but not limited to ATS ported turbo shroud, 4" turbo-back magnaflow exhaust, tymar air filter, boost fooler, DP-tuner, gauges, shift kit, big trans cooler, dieselsite boots, IH bellowed up-pipes, etc. 350hp according to dynolicious app for iphone.

I would almost think you would want a heavy climb to hat up the transmission cooler lines. Hows the spool up with your mods

@kwaky2005 Truck runs great with the ATS style ported housing and new up-pipes. There's zero surge and no more "tSHHHHH" on shifts WOT. Trans coolers and the bottom of the radiator are usually near ambient temperature according to more than one Ford tech I've talked to so when it's -30degC the fluid temps aren't far off that. ATF that cold gets like honey so running semi-synthetic or synthetic fluid makes a huge difference. Next is heavy hauler from napcltd.ca .
