I am curious, is anyone with a ZF manual experiencing overheating like some others in the LLY thread?

Well, I haven't yet. I run about 210 all the time when towing. Of course I'm only pulling around 5500 Lbs. I was also wondering this same question. Seems like all the stories on the thread are automatics.

I assume you mean overheating the engine? No problems here.

You cant overheat a Manual tranny, The only thing you have to worry about is the clutch (not slipping) Manuals are bullet proof. So no need to worry about yours.

He mean't was anyone experiencing the engine overheating problem that they are discussing in the other thread. It seems all those guys have the auto tranny. He wasn't talking about the tranny overheating. That was what I assumed anyway.

yeah, that could go either way....nope I never over heat...but at the same time I dont think I ever look at the engine temp gauge....is that bad! lol

Never goes over 200 hauling 10,000 lbs of trailer.

I've yet to have a problem...and mine is an early LLY :confused:

yeah, mine hit 215(ish) going over vail pass pulling a 35' goose neck (unloaded) I was cruisin at 85mph (I have a huge lead foot!) ole' alice didnt say a word she had one small hickup but she took the heat and power like a champ.
other than that no problems, except that damn concole latch!

If you think a ZF will not overheat put a gauge on it and go get a pair of clean underware
