RE: [VAL] Trans Temps

["Tom C. Williams" <tcwilliams@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ed,

From what I have read, your truck will protect itself from overheating due
to towing.  It works like this:  If the transmission oil gets hot, your
status message indicator will flash a message to the effect "Trans hot;
reduce speed".  If you ignore the message, and keep the petal to the metal,
another more ominous message will appear.  If you ignore THAT one, the
engine's computer will take matters into it's own hands and quit firing all
eight spark plugs in sequence until the load on the transmission is reduced.

At least that's what I read that applies to my '99 Silverado 2500.
